A SAVVY woman has shared how she jumped on the nostalgic 90s Christmas trend on a budget.
Naomi Trevitt, from the UK, took to social media to share her clever hack to decorate her living room.
In the clip, she said: “When wrapping paper is now used as wallpaper.”
Naomi had multiple rolls of Christmas wrapping paper, and it had an adorable pattern of nutcrackers and mistletoe on a beige background.
But instead of using it to wrap her presents, she used it for her walls.
The mum took the wrapping paper and cut it to size before applying it to her walls with some double-sided tape.
After sticking down the paper up to the panels already in her living room, she had the perfect backdrop for her Christmas tree.
The mum went for a classic-themed tree with red, white and gold decorations.
The fireplace had four red stockings hanging above it adding to the festive look.
The addition of the wallpaper gave the room a 90s Christmas feel with its busy design.
She later revealed that she bought the wrapping paper from TK Maxx for just £3.
Naomi added: “Proud of this one,” and she wasn’t alone.
The clip went viral on her TikTok account @naomitrevitt with over 92k views and 1,400 likes.
Many took to the comments in awe over her savvy trick and wanted to do it themselves.
One person wrote: “This is actually the first time that I’ve seen this done properly! Everything lines up neatly, doesn’t even look like wrapping paper. You’ve done a really good job!”
Another commented: “Absolutely love it, especially being nutcracker.”
“Actually really love that,” penned a third.
