One couple has confessed they had to learn DIY skills fast so they could do up their home with a little as fiver in their bank account.

Nathan and Danielle, who go by @homeatonetwentynine shared some of their transformations on their TikTok.

Danielle and Nathan decided to get their hands dirty and work their way through their new home with DIY improvements.
