No matter the size or material of their houses, people tend to find a way to transform their spaces into a place that feels like home. A woman proudly shared photos of her stunning shack, showing off its interior, which featured a surprisingly modern touch and stylish decor.

Don't judge a home by its exterior

Facebook user Nolizwi Thandile Mafaku took to a popular group on the social media platform, 'Make your bedroom beautiful with Thembi's Linen', and uploaded a few pictures of the shack she called home.

While the house was mainly constructed using zinc sheets, the inside exuded modernity. From the living room to the kitchen, Nolizwi's house was a tidy home of which she was proud.

The woman also had a garage made from the same materials constructed on the side of her home.

She wrote in the post's caption:

"Me vs my home. I bought the site in December 2022. I'm still busy transforming it. Everything is in plan. The project is in progress. I'll show you when it's done."

Affordable roofing materials for modern shack

During the transformation period, Nolizwi would also need to consider her roof.

Jonathan Vieyra, the owner of the roofing company Rize Exterior, explained to Briefly News that roofing materials vary in price based on supply and demand. He listed the least expensive to the most expensive roofing materials:

• Rolled asphalt roofing
• Asphalt shingles
• Corrugated metal roofing
• TPO roofing
• Metal roofing
• Wood shingles roofing or shakes
• Slate or tile roofing

Jonathan also noted that to stay within the budget-friendly category, one should consider using rolled asphalt roofing, asphalt shingles, or corrugated metal roofing.

"If weather conditions are rough, I would not recommend rolled asphalt roofing because it's a thin material, but it is inexpensive and easy to install. Asphalt shingles are one of the most common roofing materials and are still budget-friendly.

"Metal can be expensive, but corrugated metal is not, and it offers a modern look and good durability."
