Have a fantastic day honeys."

Charlotte, who shares her interior style on Instagram at @missgreedyshome, says she got the initial idea to transform the bathroom from browsing in her local DIY store.

Speaking to money-saving website LatestDeals.co.uk, Charlotte said: "The bathroom was completely run down, dingy and grubby, so it needed a makeover but I needed to do it on a budget as I had just moved in.

"I bought a roll of funky vinyl from B&M for £39.99, bought some spray glue and a pen knife and fitted the new flooring over the existing floor.

"I then bought an under-sink storage unit from eBay to hide all the pipework you could see, painted the walls with a tub of cheap £10 white paint from B&Q and it was completely transformed.

"The total cost was just under £95."

"I had the idea when I went into my local home DIY store and saw some amazing funky Moroccan-style floor tiles."
