A DIY fan has revealed how they created a floor in their house using 1p cupboard doors from Ikea.
Tim Stevenson, from Buckinghamshire, uploaded photos of his stylish transformation in his garden studio, and people were highly impressed.
Taking to Facebook, he wrote: “Ikea cupboard door floor.
“I got these eucalyptus-coloured cupboard doors from Ikea on Wednesday and I’ve finally finished turning them into a floor for our garden studio.
“Bit of a weird Ikea hack but my work space finally feels finished as it just had OSB (oriented strand board) before.”
He added to Fabulous: "The cupboard doors or drawer fronts were originally £20 I think, they might be discontinued which is why they were getting rid of them for 1p each.
"They were just on a pallet with 1p on at near the tills and I’ve needed something for flooring to finish my studio since it was built last July."
Tim showed how his studio, where he makes geometric wall hanging art and home decorations for his business We Are Lunarium, looks picture perfect thanks to the blue-hued wooden boards.
He added that he attached them to the floor using Gripfill, which is a gap filling adhesive.
In total, it cost him £2 for the doors and £25 for the Gripfill to stick them down.
Many people were quick to praise his home efforts, with one saying: “Amazing! What a fantastic job. Well done and ten out of ten for pure genius.”
Another added: “Incredible and love the fact that you could see an alternative use in something. Brilliant.”
