‘Holy moly, so nice!’ people say as woman shows how she redid her whole kitchen in two hours and it cost £35
A WOMAN has amazed people by showing off the incredible kitchen transformation that she did with £11 stick-on tiles.
Home whizz Ellie, who posts under @haveyouseentheirhouse, turned the room into a pink haven in just two hours.
She shared how she thought her old kitchen was beautiful but was “too neutral” for her taste.
Ellie had found her dream tiles, but they were “super expensive” and she decided to give it a miss as she was saving for her wedding this year.
However, she spotted a pack of stick-on tiles from Temu that looked perfect for the job.
Ellie shared: “These peel and stick tiles have completely transformed the space, so easy to use, did the whole kitchen in two hours.
“Run don’t walk girlies.”
Showing some before and after shots in a video, the home owner added: “This is your sign to get £11 these peel and stick tiles and transform your kitchen.
“Can you believe they are not real tiles?”
If you already have tiles, Ellie shared how they can be added on top.
Although they are £11.49 for five sheets of sticky tiles, she shared how she paid £50 a pack of 30 for her whole kitchen, but they are currently on offer for £35.
And the best part is they come in a number of different colours.
Aside from pink, you can also pick up the tiles in grey, blue, white, and green.
Thousands of people have liked her video and praised her purse-friendly decorating.
Ellie wrote: “I am so pleased with it!”
One person wrote: “So need to try these!”
Another added: “This looks so soft and light.”
And a third commented: “Ooo a great idea!”
Ellie isn’t the only person to rave about the benefits of stick-on tiles.
A bargain hunter showed how she changed her entire kitchen floor using £1.99 stick-on tiles.
She picked up the stylish tiles from Home Bargains, and they dramatically improved the look of the room.
Why is Temu so cheap?
TEMU exploded onto the scene in late 2022, with people all over social media raving about the low prices.
The company is a Chinese-owned digital marketplace – essentially an online shopping app where people are connected to the retailer directly while the app takes care of the shipping element.
The frenzy over the app is not completely unfounded either as it offers a wide variety of products, including fashion, make-up, electronics and furniture.
According to a report from the US House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, Temu takes advantage of a trade loophole that allows the company to ship duty-free goods directly to the US.
The loophole is called the de minimis exception and it means they can ship goods valued up to $800 (£643) to the US without it being inspected or taxed by US customs.
Temu connects customers directly to manufacturers and only manages how the items are sent to customers.
It means Chinese vendors can essentially sell their products directly to customers and ship it without building a network of warehouses across the globe.
By doing this, they cut down on huge costs and ensure the product itself isn’t marked up extra.
While many of the products seen on the Temu app are from brands with extensive, original collections, many more are dupes of designer brands.
The woman uploaded photos of the transformation to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK.
She wrote: “Tonight I’ve transformed my kitchen flooring for £16.00.
“I used Home Bargains £1.99 self adhesive floor tiles (5 per pack) – I used 8 packs.
“So so easy to use!
“Hope you all like it.”
