ANY homeowner will know that decorating your house doesn't come cheap.
But one savvy woman named Alexandra Chard Boampong has proven that you haven't got to splash the cash to achieve impressive results inside your home.
Instead, she revealed how she gave her boring white kitchen a complete modern makeover for under £10.
And the best part? All Alexandra used was some leftover paint and £9.20 battery-operated lights from Shein which she placed underneath the kitchen cupboards.
The TikTok user (afialexiss) posted a video showing the before and after of her kitchen transformation, and explained how the white walls were in desperate need of a splash of colour to prevent the room from looking so "clinical."
In the clip, she explains: "My before and after DIY for under £10 – I love how this came out.
