A woman who was tired of her dull, brown carpet decided to dye it a different colour.
For the price of just £5, she transformed the carpet on her landing and staircase to a lighter, trendy grey colour.
The savvy homeowner her impressive results on a popular DIY Facebook group.
Next to a before and after picture, she wrote: "So this is what my Saturday night consisted of!
"I used Dylon fabric dye in smoky grey, 4 table spoons of the power with 700ml of warm water."
She also explained exactly how it should be used: "Put in a spray bottle, spray it on carpet then rub in with your hands using gloves.
"I'd recommend more sprays on thick carpet as ours is thick.
"Bought from Wilko. No transfer.
"I did it before we went to bed. This morning it's dry. I don't think it would cover stains. Doesn't feel any different."
The Dylon spray is from Wilko and costs a fiver. It's a fabric dye and is more commonly used on clothes, but this creative DIY-er took it another level and used it on her carpets instead.
Fellow group members replied to her post with a flurry of compliments.
"Wow...i never know you could dye carpets,"one person said.
Another wrote: "I could do with this...save £300+ for new carpets in a 3 story house lol."
A third added: "Looks amazing x"
