Discover the 'brilliant' Bunnings trick that will keep your bath clean!
- Replies 16
Bathrooms can be hard to decorate especially if you want them to be practical yet look great. But, what if we told you that you can transform your bathroom for under $100?
Thanks to one clever Aussie, we now know exactly how to do this with just two products from Bunnings!
This clever mum shared her beautiful wooden bath cover on social media which was made with just $80 worth of timber and Cabot’s stain.
She said that before this clever hack, she hardly ever used her bath and would hate having to bend over and clean the dust out of the tub–but now, that has all changed!
'My new bath cover. All items from Bunnings. Love it, no more bending over to clean the dusty tub,' she said.
Though, she did add that it took some effort to lift the cover off the tub as it was a little too heavy.
Social media users were impressed by the woman’s handy work, with many tagging friends and family and insisting that they had to try it out in their own homes.
'Brilliant,' one user said.
'Oh I need one of these, [my] bath doesn’t get used and like you said it just gets dusty all the time,' another user said.
However, some users warned that while it was a great idea, it didn’t always work as intended. One user shared: ‘I did this once. Unknown to me a big black spider moved in and built a nest in the drain hole.’
Another user confirmed this and said: ‘It was a she spider and one day we had a scene from a horror movie unfold as thousands of baby spiders erupted from under the cover…’

Do you also have spaces not being used at home? Below are some tips on how you can give these spaces a new purpose!
Do you have an under-utilised wardrobe or nook? It's the perfect opportunity to convert it into a compact office or a cosy reading nook. With a touch of paint, a comfortable chair, and some shelves, you'll have an adorable space that invites you to sit and drink a cup of tea while enjoying your favourite novel.
Even that dusty space under your staircase can be transformed into something useful. Many are turning it into a display area for interesting knick-knacks or arranging it into a well-lit cellar for wines and spirits. Some have even ventured to utilise it as a mini pet area with a cosy bed and toys for their furry family.
Fireplaces that are no longer in use also make for decorative potential. Consider turning your old fireplace into a unique bookcase or even replace it with a terrarium for a greener touch to your living room.
Unsure how to start? Remember that all you need is to begin with an idea, embrace a little creativity, and seek out practical products to take your project to the next level–Bunnings is always a good place to scout for inspiration and supplies!

The Bunnings ones were similar to the K-mart ones, and around the same price. I had to paint them white, as I could only find white ones at Spotlight and they were $50 each, 
I must admit it wasn’t my idea - I saw it online and copied it.
