A TikToker's before-and-after videos show how she is transforming her dusty attic into the treehouse-inspired space of her dreams

• A woman in Brighton, England, is transforming her dark, dusty attic into a treehouse-inspired space.
• Since March, Charlotte Violet has been documenting the DIY transformation in real time on TikTok.
• Her videos show that with a little determination, you can transform any room into a dream space.

A woman in Brighton, England, is transforming her dark, dusty attic into a whimsical treehouse-inspired space - and millions have been following her DIY process on TikTok.

Charlotte Violet joined the social-media platform in 2020 to share her home-renovation updates and began renovating her attic in March of this year.

Since starting work on the attic, Violet has posted around 30 videos walking followers through the updates she and her fiancé have made to the space as well as what materials and equipment they have used.

The before-and-after contrast is striking and shows that you don't need to be a professional interior designer to completely transform a space.

To lighten up the space, Violet and her fiancé placed insulation over the gray brick walls, then covered the insulation with light wood paneling. They also installed light-brown cork board flooring and a skylight that allows sunlight to flood in.

To create the feeling of being in a treehouse, they installed a loft net above the space by mounting hooks into the beams and using carabiners to hold it up. They installed a matching loft net for their cats to enjoy as well.

They also made a treehouse-like swing out of rope and a piece of yew wood, which they treated with mineral oil to expose the grain. They attached the swing to the ceiling in the same way that they installed the loft net, by mounting hooks into the wooden beams and attaching carabiners to hold the rope.

Throughout the space, Violet and her fiancé added nature-inspired items, like gold, leaf-shaped light fixtures and a hummingbird-themed plant holder.

In a video posted on May 12 - which has has been viewed more than 870,000 times at the time of writing - Violet shows followers how the attic went from a place where they would dump their belongings to a cozy lounge area where they can read books and watch the sun set over the city.

In the comments section of another video she posted on May 15, Violet said she and her fiancé still want to build a futon bed and small library as well as stairs leading up to the attic. Violet talked more about her plans for the space in a May 8 video, saying that she plans to build the library from pieces of wood she has collected.

Responding to a follower's comment in one of her early attic renovation videos, the DIYer said that elbow grease has carried her through the project more than interior design know-how.

"We just research how to do things," she said. "I still don't think we are that skilled."

Violet did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
