A SAVVY DIY enthusiast has shared how she gave her dull coffee table a brand new look with a bargain buy from Poundland.

Lesley Cully took to Facebook to proudly reveal the budget-friendly transformation, as she upcycled the old coffee table in her home.

The original coffee table, she demonstrated in the post, came with a light grey surface that also appeared to be slightly stained and scratched.

But rather than giving it a fresh layer of paint, Lesley decided use another approach - to cover the surface with stick-on tiles.

The Self-Adhesive Peel & Stick-On Tiles, 26cm x 26cm in size, the craft fanatic had nabbed from Poundland where they retailed for £3.

As shared in the snaps uploaded to the popular Poundland Appreciation Society, the hexagon-shaped tiles came in different colours.

These ranged from the more lighted greys to the dark asphalt grey hues, making for a modern design.

All chuffed with the easy makeover, Lesley wrote in the caption: ''Very happy with this result.''

According to the high street retailer, not only do these tiles look great - but they also don't require a lot of maintenance.

''These tiles are easy to maintain, to clean just use a wet mop and general cleaning products,'' the website stated.

Those looking to give their home a glow-up on the cheap this Bank Holiday can also choose from other designs - such as Self-Adhesive Decor Tiles with an intricate print or Vinyl Floor Tiles in grey fans have been raving about.

Lesley's post soon racked up hundreds of likes, as fellow Poundland fanatics raced to comments to share their thoughts.
