A DIY enthusiast has revealed how she gave her drab kitchen a glow-up on a tight budget – and the results have lasted for several years too.

For a while, TikTok user Sophie ''hated'' her old kitchen. However, being unable to afford a new one, she decided to take matters in her own hands and got all crafty.

But rather than forking out for several buys for the transformation, the DIY fanatic managed to complete the makeover on the cheap.

Instead of ripping everything off and replacing it with new items, Sophie simply ''painted everything'', including the tiles, cupboards and worktop.

For this, she claimed in the video, you only needed ''a good primer and durable paint''.

The first transformation, which was meant to be just a temporary fix, saw Sophie paint the kitchen white – and it lasted for over a year.

''But the good thing about it being painted was when I got bored I could change it again,'' she added.

Her most recent glow-up included repainting the worktop and cupboards in new colours, as well as replacing the old handles and changing the tiled splashback.

To complete the newest transformation, the DIY fan also nabbed a black tap that looked chic and added some LED strip lighting underneath the cupboards.

Urging others to do the same, she said: ''So if you hate your kitchen why not give it a little makeover.
