A WOMAN has revealed her stunning panelled feature wall transformation, which she created with bargains from Wilkos and B&Q.

Georgia Palmer, from Scunthorpe, admitted she'd never done anything like this before – but says YouTube videos gave her the confidence to try.

Showing off the finished job on Facebook, she said: "Before.. during and after of a panelled feature wall in our master bedroom. 

"I have no experience and it’s our first home but after watching a couple of YouTube tutorials I qualified myself as a joiner."

The work cost £80 in total and was done back in September, so it's not a lockdown project.

Georgia used 12mm of MDF stripwood from B&Q, No More Nails adhesive from Screwfix, filler from Wilkos and B&Q's Goose Down Dulux Matte paint – which costs £26 for a 5 litre tub.

She explained: "I measured the walls and did a little sketch to make sure the angles and spaces were even and symmetrical where I wanted the panels to go.

"The vertical strips are quite self explanatory but the angled strips I held a piece of mdf against the wall and at the angle I liked I pencilled a straight line.

"(I tried using a mitre block but the angle wasn’t quite right for the look I was going for). 

"After a bit of trial and error once I was happy with one angled piece, I used that shape to cut the rest. It’s all about making sure your measurements are correct!"

Georgia's impressive efforts racked up 1,200 likes in just 24 hours – as well as hundreds of gushing comments.

Commenting on the progress pictures, people raved: "stunning!", "this is a nice idea" and "I like this a lot".

Others wrote: "This looks fab!", "absolutely gorgeous well done" and "wow I'm in love with this".
