The DIY queen is back with another clever garden hack, and this time, Stacey Solomon is turning a leftover old sink into the prettiest upcycled planter perfect for spring
Now spring is into full swing, and summer is only a month away, now is the perfect time to revamp your garden and get it ready for the warm weather. And if there’s one person who knows how to make something old feel stylish again, it’s Stacey Solomon.
The DIY queen has shared her latest garden solution on Instagram, revealing an unexpected but genius twist on spring plant pots, and it’s not what you’d think.
So, what exactly is the solution? Old sinks. By repurposing unused basins as vintage-inspired planters, Stacey proves that you don’t need to spend a fortune to create a standout garden feature; you just need a bit of imagination and some time to give pre-loved items a second life.
Of course, not everyone has an old sink lying around, and if you still want to jump on this trend, Amazon has a great selection of white ceramic undermounted basins to shop. Including this Comite undermount reduced from £179.99 to £149.99, or a more affordable £105 offering.

And if you do have a leftover sink or two, it’s the kind of project that ticks all the boxes: low-cost, sustainable, and genuinely stylish. Perfect for adding a rustic, cottagecore feel to any outdoor space.
Stacey even pimped her sink up with a sweet tribute to her children, painting on a rose and belle, in reference to her young daughters.
Upcycling garden hacks is not the only thing Stacey loves to share with her fans, over the years the TV presenter has also shared her home organisation and travelling hacks.
Last year Stacey showcased her clever suitcase hack, which involves packing clothes in a hanging wardrobe organiser, £7.99. The trick means you can plan yours or your kids’ outfits for every day and night of the holiday and fold them up neatly in each separate compartment to save packing space and a messy case.
If you are after suitcase organisers with a bit more space, Antler’s packing cubes, £50, have been hailed “a great buy” from shoppers. The set of four is perfect for separating your clothes from your underwear and saving space in your suitcase to avoid the dreaded extra fees at the airport.
