Woman transforms tatty council house into ultimate 'dream home' by making simple tweaks

Council houses are often stereotyped in all sorts of ways, but one woman has revealed how plush they can be.

A family, known as fajolu_family_home on have gone for sharing their home transformation online. When they were first handed the keys to their property, there was no carpet, flooring and hardly any paint on the walls.

In fact, you could claim it was a totally empty shell. Now you wouldn't believe you were looking at the same property, as they've worked to transform it into their "dream home".

From the pristine white and grey entrance to the sleek grey interior and plush bedrooms - the house looks fit for a king and queen. The home looks absolutely amazing - in fact, it could pass for a show home.

The family have worked hard to make the house look modern and chic by including black decor, hanging mirrors and they've even given the garden a bit of a makeover too. Outside, you'll see they've tidied up the patio and also scattered some chippings in certain areas.
