I transformed the front of my home using a £34 buy & everyone agrees it gave it an instant glow up | The Sun

A WOMAN has shared how she totally transformed the porch of her home and gave it an instant glow up – all for just £34.

Charlotte Smith is currently renovating a bungalow in Suffolk and has been sharing progress of her interior journey on social media as she goes. 


Charlotte, whose TikTok profile is @mysuffolkbungalow, has unveiled a new bathroom, changing it from old-fashioned to modern.

While she’s also restored the property’s Georgian fireplace back to its original glory.

But one of the biggest changes of her home has been to the front – specifically the porch and doorway. 

And the best part is, Charlotte’s keen to show others that renovations can be done on a budget, as the makeover cost her just over £30.

In a video captioned ‘the power of paint’, Charlotte showed off the impressive before and after shots.

In the first the bungalow had a boring, brown door and paintwork, which didn’t look particularly inviting.

However, the after shot looked like something out of an interior magazine, complete with a matte black finish.

Alongside the clip, she wrote: “Porch glow up on a budget.”

She continued to explain exactly how she’d achieved the look, as she said “This cost me the grand total of £34.

“Using 1 tin of matt black rustolem universal paint.”

Charlotte’s social media followers, and fellow DIY fans, were blown away that such a simple change could make such a huge difference.

And they certainly didn’t hold back when it came to telling her.

One TikTok user wrote: “I love paint! It can change the look so inexpensively.” 

A second said: “Love that colour, looks great!”

While a third added: “I would never have considered black paint but that looks fabulous and really gives the facade a lift. 

They then said they couldn’t wait to see the rest of the bungalow and what she was going to do with it, as they added: “Keep going!”
