And if you’re looking for a way to give you home a bit of an autumnal spruce up on a budget, you might want to listen up.
Paul Kinsella is an Ireland-based DIY whizz , who regularly shares his genius interior hacks on his Instagram page, @LifeAtNo2.
He even hosts his own TV show on RTE, Relove My Space, where he helps people fall back in love with their homes by giving tips on resigning and upcycling.
In a recent clip, the interior-design expert delighted fans by showing off how he completely transformed his tiny pantry for just £60.
The handy DIYer began by gutting out all the bits and bobs cluttering the cupboard, before removing the grotty old shelves and sanding down the walls.

He then gave the walls a quick prime using Cover Stain Primer, so he had an even base for the next stage.
But the biggest transformation came next, when Paul began sticking Amazon’s fake brick adhesive wrap to the walls.
“It was my first time using these tiles,” he told viewers, “and I have to say I’m super impressed.”
“They’re super easy to cut,” he added, as he sliced the rolls with a Stanley blade and ruler.

After carefully applying the faux-brick adhesive and leaving to set overnight, Paul added some oak-look shelves, which he’d also revamped with adhesive wrap, before showing off the final result.
“I bought four packs of the tiles,” the thrifty designer told viewers, “and I actually only used three.”
And given that the wraps only cost around £20 each, the total cost of his reno job was just £60.
Viewers flooded the comments with love for the quick revamp, with many cheekily asking if they could steal his idea.
“Ahh that turned out amazing!” one wrote. “I ordered the stickers for my utility room now!”
“What’s your hourly rate?” another joked. “You’re amazing.”
A third grateful user admitted that: “You’ve inspired me to think of doing my utility room. I’ve been overthinking it as a big job – your post reminded me that it doesn’t have to be to get a big end result!”
