We turned our council house from bad to boujee on the cheap, people can’t believe it’s the same home after our glow up | The Sun

A COUNCIL house tenant has revealed how they transformed their home to look “bad to boujee” on a tiny budget.

In a video, Celene showed how they gave their home a “glow up”, and people couldn’t believe how it was the same property.




In the before photos, the home had peeling wallpaper and very dated kitchen cabinets.

However, after some hard work and her “eye for interior design”, it looked stylish and modern after its transformation.

Gone were the ugly kitchen cupboards, and in their place was a sleek navy blue-themed space with a marble worktop.

Meanwhile, the lounge was given grey panelling and pampas grass decoration to improve its look.

And the bathroom was given marble-look tiles and had chic black features.

Celene, who posts on TikTok under @61thecouncilhouse, said having a council home is a "smart way to live" because she'll own it for a reduced price in a few years.

In the previous clip, she explained: "When people ask me why I love living in my council house…because I have the option to buy it after three years with a minimum of 35% discount."

The discount Celene is referring to is based on the 'Right to Buy scheme' which helps eligible council and housing association tenants in England to buy their home with a discount of up to £87,200 (£116,200 inside London).
