I gave my boring white and grey bathroom a total makeover using Dunelm purchases
Do you want to renovate your downstairs toilet?
Dunelm has undergone a beautiful transformation with the help of budget purchases.
The restroom, originally white and gray, has been transformed into a striking, maximalist space.
The video, which on Dunelm’s Official Instagram Accountsaw Fran, a stylist at Dunelm, show her followers how she transformed the small room.
The caption on the video read: “Would you WATCH this!
“With self-adhesive tiles and pre-cut panels, plus paper that you can easily hang yourself, renovating a small toilet doesn’t have to be a huge job.

“Here’s our stylist Fran to show you how…”
First she painted the ceiling a beautiful green and cleverly painted a foot at the top of the walls to create a ‘drop ceiling’ effect.
Fran described this effect as the ‘cocooning’ of the room.
She then grabbed a couple of packs of Dunelm’s DIY Panelling Kits and made rails along the walls and square panels underneath.
She used the same green color as the ceiling and covered the paneled area, leaving a strip of white wall between the two, where she applied “maximalist monkey wallpaper.”
“It only took one roll [of wallpaper] to make such an impact,” said Fran.
Then it was time to freshen up the floor.
With the help of four packs of self-adhesive floor tiles, the room really started to look different.
Fran then chose a vintage lamp and finished the bathroom with all kinds of colorful accessories and a plant.
“I added artwork, plants, a candle and a mirror that doubles as a handy towel holder,” she explains.
“I also hung a small shelf above the radiator for my diffusers.
“Finally, a café curtain in the window and a bath mat make the space super cozy.”
The video has received over 17,000 likes and tons of comments.
One of them said: “So beautiful… I didn’t know you could also get panel building kits… good to know.”
