Transform your bathroom for $13: See how this Kmart shopper did it
- Replies 5
Home renovations can often seem daunting and expensive, but one Kmart shopper has shown that you can achieve a stunning transformation on a small budget with creativity and a keen eye for bargains.
This clever individual took to social media to showcase their 'amazing' bathroom makeover, and it's safe to say that the results are nothing short of fabulous.
The shopper, a member of a popular social media group dedicated to Kmart home decor tricks, shared before-and-after photos of their bathroom's transformation.
The 8 Pack Vinyl Floor Tiles - Lisbon ($13) allowed the homeowner to refresh the bathroom without breaking the bank.
Once-dated 'swimming pool tiles' were updated to a modern and chic look using these Kmart adhesive tiles.
The post quickly garnered attention, with many praising the budget-friendly glow-up.
‘Updated the swimming pool tiles in the bathroom with Kmart adhesives,' she said.
‘I’m really happy with them. I put them over my tiles, but I used a levelling adhesive, and then I grouted over the top.’
The new look is contemporary and breathes new life into the space, proving that you don't need to spend a fortune to impact your home's aesthetic significantly.
The online community quickly offered praise, with comments such as 'Looks amazing!' and 'You did a great job!' flooding in.
‘Looks fabulous, much better than the pool tiles.’ a social media user said.
While a few preferred the original blue tiles, the general consensus was positive, with many agreeing that the new look was a vast improvement.
‘I loved the pool tiles more!’ one said.
‘I loved the original... sorry,’ another said.
‘OMG, and there’s me loving the pool tile!’ a third added.
‘But great job. Hope it stands the test of time.’
Curious minds in the group were eager to learn more about the process, particularly regarding the durability of the adhesive tiles on the bathroom floor.
The original poster was happy to share her step-by-step experience, likening the process to laying a vinyl floor.
She used a levelling adhesive from Bunnings to ensure the tiles stuck well, followed by grouting to keep everything in place.
'I did look into it,' she reassured the group.
'Adhesives are problematic on kitchen splashbacks, not on bathroom floors.'
However, the Do-It-Yourself enthusiasts' thorough research and careful application mitigated these concerns.
The post concluded on a high note, with another member commenting, ‘Well done, they look beautiful.’
