FORGET forking out for an expensive headboard for your bed – one DIY whizz has shared how he used an old garage door.
Interior designer Jack Kinsey, who starred on Interior Design Masters 2023, shared how the door cost him just £60 and he made it look incredible.
On his @jackkinsey_ account, he showed off his jaw-dropping home DIY job to his 34,000 followers.
He shared: “Can someone tell me why I hadn’t thought of this before? What’s big, panelled, and would make an awesome headboard? Literally a garage door.
“And for 60 pounds off Facebook Marketplace, let’s see if it works.”
The first thing he did was remove the handle and fill up the hole, before painting it a beautiful pink colour.
Jack shared: “I nipped Wickes for my materials, first using a primer to treat the metal, before going in with this gorgeous blush rose, which is actually a collaboration between Kimberley Walsh and Wickes.
“I mean, whoever came up with the idea to create paint colour with a Girls Aloud star is a genius.”
Jack shared how the blush shade completely warmed the bedroom up, and he decided to use it for the ceiling and some side tables too, which he had cleverly made from some drainage pipe, also from Wickes.
Followers were amazed at the finished result, with the video racking up 26,000 likes – and he was delighted with how it looked.
He concluded: “I think it goes to show some scrappy metal, some drainage pipe, and an injection of colour really goes a long way.”
One fan commented: “Love it! So beautiful.”
Another added: “You are seriously so creatively clever!”
And a third wrote: “My jaw dropped.”
JACK’S CHIC HOME
We previously shared how he transformed an old chapel in Norfolk into a stylish home on a shoestring budget.
Jack, who was a finalist in the BBC Interior Design Masters competition, bought the Methodist chapel, which dates to 1909, in 2017 with his partner Alex Walters.

The pair spent the next two years renovating it themselves by “mixing old and new and picking up a pre-loved bargain and giving it a new lease of life.”
Speaking to Fabulous, Jack, who snapped the property up within an hour of seeing it for sale, has now shared his top money-saving tips and tricks for renovating your home.
“I’ve always been drawn to old and unique properties and there are many beautiful barns and chapels in Norfolk but they don’t come up for sale very often,” Jack explains.

“It was a rare opportunity to get our hands on one of those old gems that we could turn into something really different and magical.”
But the interior design guru was eager to transform the chapel, which is two storeys with two bedrooms, both with modern en suites, without breaking the bank.
“We did a lot of the work ourselves to keep the cost down and watched a lot of videos on YouTube,” Jack explains.
“We kept the original floors and many of the old features and learnt what bits of carpentry we could do.”
