A WOMAN has left people open-mouthed and desperate to ‘steal' some of her ideas after sharing her epic hallway glow-up.
Ellie Munt, from London, UK, took to Facebook to post snaps of her transformation, which has taken the internet by storm.
The young woman explained that although the hallway required a lot of work, it was totally worth in the end – and she also didn't fork out a fortune either.
Rather than snapping up posh items from expensive retailers, the savvy Londoner spruced up the old hallway using bargains from The Range and B&Q.
Before the jaw-dropping makeover, the hallway lacked any character, featuring basic white walls, a grey chest of drawers and a coat rack.
The banister, too, was white, while the staircase featured a basic grey runner.
To inject some life into the drab hallway, Ellie gave the staircase a lick of black paint and added stunning black panelling detailing on the sides.
After removing the grubby runner from the stairs, she left the original wood flooring underneath and placed a new – more chic – runner on top.
Meanwhile, the once white wall at the very front was given a brand new look with a fabulous wall panel she had purchased from B&Q.
The popular retailer offers a huge variety of these, selling for as little as £47.
The DIY fan completed the epic transformation with a huge mirror, as well as a smaller table, two stunning candles and homeware accessories.
The black theme was also continued further inside her home, with a black and white wallpaper below the staircase, featuring a picturesque print, as well as black radiators.
All chuffed with the jaw-dropping results, Ellie wrote alongside her post: ”Hallway renovation.. before during and after. New house transformation.”
The stunning glow-up, posted on the popular DIY On A Budget Official group, has since sent fellow DIY lovers in a total frenzy.
A whopping 400 other members have given the post a like, with a further 127 flooding to comments to praise her.
