A WOMAN has revealed she used a cheap product from B&Q to transform her kitchen.
But while Chloe22, is delighted with the fresh colours of her kitchen new looknot everyone was equally enthusiastic.
Chloe shared a before and after close-up of her kitchen on social media, but opinions are divided.
While some thought it looked “great” and much “better” than before, others called the new kitchen “basic,” “horrible” and “tasteless.”
The young woman from the UK confirmed that she used self-adhesive vinyl wrap to transform her kitchen worktops from boring to fabulous.
What was once a brown countertop, which Chloe didn’t like, has now undergone an impressive makeover.
Alongside her clip, the DIYer wrote: “POV: You went to the grocery store and bought three rolls of adhesive vinyl…”
Chloe then shared how she gave her countertops a fresh look with vinyl wrap.
Thanks to her budget buys, which start from just £9 at B&Q and come in a range of colours and styles, Chloe now has grey worktops that are sure to be Mrs Hinch-approved.
Chloe beamed, very happy with the makeover of her kitchen: “Highly recommended!!”
The TikTok clip, which was posted just three days ago under the username @kindleehas clearly caused a lot of surprise, because the video has been viewed no less than 402,400 times in a short time.
Social media users were divided over Chloe’s kitchen makeover, with many taking to the comments en masse to share their opinions.
Someone said: “This looks so delicious!!”
Another added: “Much better.”
