In a video he shared detailing the process from start to finish, he started by 10 am and completed the design in two days.
He said he loves what he did and is now considering adding more decorations to make it look more beautiful.
“I know I said idk how I felt about the wall, but I actually love it! I'll add definitely add more decor to make it look better but yea, I love it,” he wrote on TikTok.
His video stirred mixed reactions. When asked where he drew inspiration from, the Delta indigene told Fox Nigeria that he saw it on TikTok. In his words:
“I used old newspapers because I saw it on Tiktok actually and I did not want to repaint the room because I'd be leaving the apartment in less than 3 months and using newspaper seemed like a pretty good idea.”
According ot the student of Federal University, Otuoke, it cost him a total of N5,500 – N1,000 for the old newspapers and N4,500 for the gum.

Man uses old newspapers to decorate his apartment
Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria previously reported that a man had used old newspapers to decorate his apartment.
Before redesigning the room, he showed that the apartment had a cracked wall. He said he spent N3,500 on the whole decor.
After getting newspapers for free, he used close to eight hours in a video to paste each spread on the wall. When he was done, the look of the room was terrific. Many people in his comment section said he deserved more praise for turning the space around with little money.
