Home renovations can be one of the most expensive undertakings you’ll ever pay for, but one savvy mum managed to create an incredible geometric wall feature for just £1.

Emma Scarsbrook, 28, from Gosport, decided to transform the wall in her bedroom but didn’t want to spend a fortune on the task.

She spent £1 on masking tape from Poundland and decided to use spare paint she had at home from The Range to create the triangle effect in a series of muted purples, blues and browns.

Emma, who is mum to a little girl aged two, Millie, says she spotted the trend for geometric walls on DIY Facebook groups.

She told LatestDeals.co.uk: “I lined the wall with masking tape from Poundland and used spare paint I had from decorating other rooms in my house. It took longer to mark it all out than it did to paint! I painted between the lines and waited overnight before removing the tape. Because I had the paint spare, it only cost me £1 to do!”

Emma is a dab hand with home renovations already, having decorated her daughter’s room using masking tape, paint and stickers from Amazon to create a beautiful half pink polka dot wall on a budget. She says: “For Millie’s room, I used the tape from the top corner, painted the pink first, then removed the tape, and then relined it to paint the grey. Once it was dry, I added the stickers. The paint was around £10 for each colour as the rest of her room is pink and grey too. The stickers cost £7.99 but I got 270 of them.”

Tom Church, co-founder of LatestDeals.co.uk, says: “Emma managed to create a designer look on a budget by cleverly using masking tape and paints. The great thing about this design is how easy it is to replicate at home. Keep things wallet-friendly by asking for free paint samples, buying cheap masking tape and only doing one main feature wall rather than decorating the whole room in a geometric print.”
