Want to make your space more industrial-looking? One TikToker did this by putting black electrical tape on her large window, and a super simple hacking attack was only about $5.

TikToker @lizlovery shared tips that are perfect for renters or anyone looking for a cheap and chic DIY. All that is needed to complete the appearance is black electrical tape, tape measure and scissors. Before starting, clean the windows thoroughly. Measure where you want to put the tape, and start sticking it!

"The adhesive on electrical tape is not as strong as the adhesive on traditional tape, so this is perfect for adding to your windows-especially if you are a renter, because you can remove them very easily ," TikToker is in the video.

Some people were impressed by the hacking in the comments. Others worry about whether the tape will come off when cleaning windows in the future, and whether the heat of the sun will cause the tape to peel off or melt. Either way, if you want an industrial look and don't have real iron window frames or the ability to paint them, cheap hackers are worth a try.
