Jo decided to save money by installing her own stair runner
A thrify DIY lover transformed her stairs for £170 using budget products from Dunelm and B&Q, which she believes saved her £500.
"After that, I washed everything with soapy water and began painting. That's where I made a mistake, as the staircase was pretty much untreated MDF. I should have used primer, but instead I went straight with the paint, which was Leyland Satin Quick Dry for £14. "I bought the stapling gun from Argos for £22 and more staples from B&Q for about £18. Then, the next day, I started with the runner. I cut off the border as it wasn't needed, and I stapled as close to the border as possible to conceal the staples.
Overall, Jo couldn't be happier with the end result of her DIY project, which cost her £170 altogether. She believes that doing the labour herself helped her to save around £500.
