A DIY whizz has revealed how she transformed her balcony on a budget - including giving herself some added privacy.

Steph shared the transformation on TikTok and revealed the bargain buy she used to keep hidden while relaxing in her tiny outdoor space.

Like most of us, Steph decided that it was time to give her home a makeover just in time for summer.

She said: "The weather is getting warmer, summer is getting closer, and my balcony is in need of a proper makeover.

"One of the main issues I've had with the balcony is its lack of privacy."

the savvy woman, who rents her property found a cheap way to add privacy to her glass balcony without causing any damage.

She found some frosted film on Amazon for just £7.99 and attached it to the glass.

And it was super easy to apply, all you need is to do add a little soapy water to the glass to get the film to stick.

Steph then covered her wooden floor using some outdoor tiles from Ikea to give them a modern update.

She added: "You basically just clip them together like Lego.

"As they're made from a thin plastic material, they're easy to cut when you get to the corners."

The money-saver revealed she was seriously impressed with the balcony glow-up already.

"I'm super happy with the transformation so far," she explained.

"I think these two easy hacks have made such a difference to the space and added so much more privacy."

The video was posted to her account @ohsorented and went viral with over 470k views and 38k likes.

One person wrote: "The frosted glass film was so genius!! It looks so elegant outside now!"

Another commented: "Why do you need the frosted film when you're that high up and you have no neighbours peering in?"

Steph replied: "You can't really tell from the video, but the building opposite can look up onto my balcony and also into my flat."

"WOW... amazing," penned a third.

Meanwhile a fourth said: "Where did you get the frosted film?"

"This looks so damn good," claimed a fifth.

Someone else added: "Love both the windows and flooring! It's a vibe."
