Woman creates amazing 'Pretty Woman' bathroom for under £100 using Poundland items

A woman has revealed how she transformed her bathroom into a scene from Pretty Woman for under £100.

Jolie Angel, from Bishopstoke, Southampton, loves themes so decided to turn use her DIY skills to transform the dreary bathoom.

The 33-year-old told LatestDeals.co.uk : "I just kept thinking about the amazing hotel room in the film so, I went for it and painted [the bathroom] all pink with some gold accessories, very Beverley Hills.

"The more I did, the more it looked like a Miami art deco motel and from there I just wanted it to be 'extra’.

"I covered the tiles with Fablon, which was £4 from B&Q, and added battery-powered lights which cost between £2 and £8 from Primark and Poundland," Jolie, from Bishopstoke, Southampton, said.

“Over the following months I would just spot little trinkets from charity shops and Poundland and add them.”

But she didn't spend big bucks getting her bathroom the look she wanted.

The top buys this time round included a £3 gold mirror from a charity shop, four candles for £1 Pound at Poundland, £8 pink paint from B&Q, a £2 radio-shaped biscuit from a charity shop and pink string lights from Primark for £2.

"I will scout boot sales, Poundland, Home Bargains and even skips for bits and bobs to use and the ideas flow the more bits I find,” she explained.

It's not the only unique room in her house, either. 

“My home is an eccentric creation of bits from Poundland, car boot sales and hand me downs," she explained.

“After theming my dining room to an American 50s diner - a room I've wanted since I can remember - I got motivated and addicted to heavily theming rooms in my house."

And she has tips for anyone wanting to follow in her footsteps too.

"For anyone that wants to be bold and try something new, I’d say that paint can be covered, trinkets put away, just go for it!”

“Nothing is permanent and it could end in more than you hoped for. Also, don't care what people think!”
