DIY Marble Floors (Rental Friendly)... new method!

A new (super easy) method for doing diy flooring in a rental apartment!
Watch how I did my diy marble floors in herringbone pattern in my bathroom: • DIY Herringbone Marble...
Hi friends! In this video I'm going to be trying an easy diy peel & stick flooring method that won't leave any sticky residue and will be very easy to remove! This is a great option for doing a flooring upgrade in a rental apartment as it is fully removable and easy to do. This diy floor tile project is also really affordable and completely transforms the space! This is a great diy kitchen floor upgrade or diy bathroom floor upgrade project to do! I used a grey grout this time and kept the tiles in their full original sizes. I love the diy marble floor look and will keep you up to date on how it holds up!

Hello Friends! Check out my blog post for a complete step-by-step tutorial on this project! 💕 diydalia.com/diy-peel-and-stick-tiles-kitchen-floor

[@shakaracharde]

I used this method in my bathroom last year. To hold the plastic down I used double sided gorilla glue tape (only recommend for TILE) I just did a grid. NO sticky residue whatsoever. I’ll be doing a different method in my kitchen hopefully I have the courage to film and post it.

[@wapaa26]

POST. DO IT! YOU MUST POST. I am watching every rental friendly makeover to see the best methods. And hopefully see the updates after months and probably year(s)

[@caseycolby9241]

Do you know the exact name of this tape from gorilla?

[@jalissaarchuleta6736]

Did the grout easily chip or cracked over Time?

[@angiet3535]

Tell us more!!!😅 How did you do the grid?

[@Thenotgivingmyname]

Hi! It would be awesome to see! Which of the double sided gorilla glue tape did you use? I think there is the regular and the mounting tape.

[@hudharizzy795]

Man I can’t thank her enough . She is such a life saver when comes to rental friendly.

[@tanzeelamariam3421]

True

[@shannonsallows7614]

you must giggle whenever you move around your apartment from all the gorgeous upgrades, you're doing a great job girl

[@DIYDalia]

haha thanks Shannon 🥰

[@stacyannmccarthy736]

Love how the tile really upgrades the space

[@DIYDalia]

Thank you!

[@Journey2myskinny]

To make a template you can use the paper backing from a used tile piece to cut the template and transfer it to the tile. Looks great!!

[@tiana6586]

Your mind is just different. Your ideas are so unique and innovative. By far, one of my fave interior design channels. You are such a creative.

[@DIYDalia]

Awh thanks so much. It really means a lot! 🥰

[@bekind5895]

​@@DIYDalia You are! 🙂

[@ViktoriaSvensson68]

I live in a rental that was forgotten in time since the 1940's LOL, your videos help a lot! Thank you! I got work to do 😁🥰

[@jennyiscrafting5303]

I just discovered your videos, and I love them. You’re so honest and fresh. I also like the music I wish you mentioned who you had playing in each video because it’s lovely music.

[@leahrobinson3025]

I’m really loving the cabinets with every renovation you do in the kitchen! I feel like they look better and better with the space!!

[@DIYDalia]

Yay! Thank you!

[@gregoryburkhead7813]

Great video.. is the floor still holding up.? Did it crack ?

[@tanyalewis2873]

Great video! I know Peel and stick is renter friendly, but I don’t see a landlord removing the peel and stick when it looks better than the existing vinyl that you covered.

[@IglesiaBajoAlAbrigo]

If I was the Landlord I’d be happy with your changes 👍 all looks good 😊

[@luxglamz]

I tried doing this for the 1st time and the grout started cracking so I ended up using Chaulk. But it holds and looks better. Love your floor, Great job

[@erynwesterveld7327]

What type of chaulk did you use?

[@kaizen_5091]

I love watching the journey of implementing experimental renter-friendly solutions. Look forward to the update to see how this new floor holds up to the test of time.

[@DIYDalia]

Thanks for watching!

[@princessleiajjb]

I love the advice about being aware of what others are thinking is great for you, might not always be the best thing for you in reality. I so feel that.

[@monicacolston25]

OMG- I am doing the exact same thing in my kitchen! Something I didn’t think about is the direction I want the tile to go in… question, what program did you use for the mock up? I feel this will help me with my project. I love how yours turned out

[@adriennealine]

IN LOVE! you did such a great job! Living in California, I won’t be purchasing a house anytime soon, so these renter-friendly hacks are a godsend! Love the shower curtain hack! If you plan to do this again in the future, to help with sliding, maybe laying down smaller cuts of the shower curtain and taping them to the floor would help the tile grip to more areas and prevent sliding?

[@DIYDalia]

Thanks so much! Cutting the shower curtain is a great idea!

[@latoyacosbey]

Same here! Housing prices here are just ridiculous…loving her rental friendly hacks!!

[@squeegeequeen9070]

Omg I love you!! You are absolutely amazing ❤🎉 You’ve got such a beautiful personality and seem to be a warm hearted woman 🤗

[@eisar1852]

Floor looking good! Well done, Love the backdrop on your kitchen-wall !!

[@MandaTori]

So much brighter now!! Great tile choice. Love it

[@DIYDalia]

Thanks Amanda!

[@OneLifeScript]

Good job. I love that back splash.

[@susanshew2373]

My BFF and I love your videos! Thank you!

[@Browntinkerbelle]

Brightens up the space so nicely!

[@LoveyourzAF]

How did you do the mock up of the room? Like programs? Good job🎉

[@katrinacool]

Brilliant! A shower curtain- who but Dalia would have realized it's potential!!! I love how well the veining lines up and the staggered tile placement is perfect. I think this is one of your best concepts yet and really makes a statement in your kitchen. I love it! Thank you for sharing and I am so impressed with your vision in seeing beyond how an item is supposed to be used. 😊☺️🥰❤️🦩☀️🌴❤️

[@DIYDalia]

Thanks so much Katrina! 🥰 Hoping it holds up 🤞🏼

[@Hippiedip]

Hi Dalia! Have you posted an update on this project anywhere? Just wondering how its been holding up before doing it myself :)

[@gabrielladantas]

I also would love to know!

[@emiliecloss185]

I’d love to know also

[@ronni6346]

Greetings from Australia - Wow I love it! It's beautiful. I was browsing through trying to find something about removable tiles for flooring in kitchen & bathroom rental friendly. Thank you so much for a GREAT video you really did a good job! I love the shower curtain idea. One thing though I didn't realize you still need to grout so thank you for clarifying that.

[@SweetSugaSweets]

Definitely going to try this method on my bathroom walls. I have flat paint in my apartment and hoping the masking tape won’t peel the wall off

[@andrea.g.]

I feel like maybe adding certain “holes” in the curtain in a few key areas to allow the tile to adhere to the “solid surface” underneath so it’s maybe more secure but still less adhesive to clean up when removed…Or even just the perimeter. But hopefully it works the way you’ve done it!

[@DIYDalia]

Great idea. Thanks!

[@higginsjimmyjh]

i live in a rental house... ummm i'm sure i'm gonna steal this ideal... thank you .. really looks good thanks for the video

[@jamiahb4431]

Bored, supposed to be working but I instantly subscribed when I seen the bathroom

Job well done. You thought it out in every way possible and did it. It's simply beautiful. Bravo Dalia. 👏🏼

[@DIYDalia]

Thanks Michele!

[@myhappyaccount8417]

I’m curious to know how mopping it will go? Looks great!

Same I’m looking for this answer

[@terrioakley2250]

Dalia you never cease to amaze me , you ideas are genius ! The floor looks fabulous! Well done 👍🏻

[@DIYDalia]

thank you so much Terri! I’m glad you enjoyed!

[@With.Love.Chris.]

Love the video- subscribed! I bet if you painted your kitchen cabinets white with gold hardware it would completely open up your kitchen and match with floor. 😊❤

[@tbabyy510]

This turned out amazing and I'm feeling really inspired! I was just wondering what program or app you used to edit the floor?

[@moonbeamwonders5830]

Thank you for sharing! One day I'ma update my outdated kitchen! ✨💜✨

I just purchased a new home with carpet. The carpets not bad, but i have a dog that shed's. I want marble flooring, and this is the perfect way to get that done. Thanks you. Subscribed.

[@aimeedalugdugan5224]

Did it turn out well? And lasted with the dogs?

[@serginoond6024]

Amazing, I love it! How would you remove the grout between the tiles, when you move out? I'm asking because I want to do the samr methode as you. Thank you for sharing your greate job.

[@cynthiagovea1703]

Thank you so much I didn't know what to put and was about to return the beautiful tiles I bought, but you saved me!

[@erynwesterveld7327]

Such a great video and so helpful! One question..do you still feel like this flooring is still renter-friendly even with the grout? Will it be able to pulled easily with grout? Thanks so much!

[@RebeccaZinke8]

Looks amazing and thanks for the tips for us renters!

[@DIYDalia]

Thanks Rebecca!

[@talcareyifill5937]

I was looking for this way to do an apartment floor…..now I want to see a back splash …thank you for showing us

[@Thenotgivingmyname]

Thanks for your video!! From the tile spacer link that you posted, what pack size did you buy and what tile spacing distance did you choose?

[@samanthamaearnold4367]

Looks so good!! And I always love the backsplash you did.

[@DIYDalia]

Thanks Samantha!

[@alexelev1986]

I installed this size of tile by Tile Master in my entryway and it was such an easy process. The only reason I would say I would not do it again is because these tiles are so much harder to clean than regular tile. But they still look great and people can’t believe they are peel and stick when they see them.

[@Elle.Webb11]

How do you clean them?

[@alexelev1986]

@@Elle.Webb11 I clean them the same way I would my other floors. With a mop. But I noticed over time the tiles are actually getting stained somehow and are not cleanable :(

[@Elle.Webb11]

LOL! The little tappy taps of your feet! 😂 Great job!

[@lizmj1663]

Dalia I love this! I’m hoping to put a peel and stick on a (rented) varnished wood countertop but even painters tape is peeling the varnish off . Shower curtains in smaller sections might be the key!

[@chaz4471]

Very cool idea with the shower curtains!

[@myreashaful]

Will you finish the backslash? Will you keep the cabinets that way? I love you kitchen btw you are so skilled!!

[@purrplelove90]

I follow a youtuber named Waynaworld that did this in her bathroom but w/o the grout. She's does updates on it and it seems to beholding up pretty well.

[@tanyapaul7871]

This is amazing Dahlia! I’m totally gonna do this in my own apartment. Why did you decide on a shower curtain liner as opposed to butcher paper? Was it more cost effective?

[@beyondbeautifulliving]

Dalia you did a beautiful job on the floors! I am about to rent my first home and I wish that I can paint the cabinets and upgrade the appliances in my rental but I love the way yours look! The backsplash and floors really bring that kitchen to life! What kind of backsplash did you use?

[@barbaraglover4451]

your floor look so amazing good job

[@yesiownfrodo]

I loved this. I wish you'd do something similar for those of us with hideous countertops. I wonder if this would work? I enjoy your videos.

[@seabreeze7378]

Exactly I have 70s YELLOW and it’s so disturbing, as in, not soothing to my soul 😢

[@EstelleCreativeDesigns]

Thank you so much for experimenting and sharing it turned out great!!! Another beautiful idea was achieved, yeah!

[@DIYDalia]

Thanks Estelle!

[@aidahwedo]

I watched your bathroom peel and stick also, and for me the grouting seems to really give a better appearance, but I don't want it to be permanent, so I will tape under the grout instead of covering the entire floor with an "underfloor." Gonna try that anyway. Thank you so much.

[@karinpalaneck6060]

I absolutely love all your projects and this one in particular!

Great idea Dalia, looks so good! It definitely seems to brighten up the kitchen and draw the eye up.

[@gottathinkupanewone]

I have never known anyone who used grout with peel and stick tiles. I usually get them as close together as I possibly can, because I don't use grout of any kind with vinyl.

[@MissSeaworld8]

Looks great! One thing I wonder.. Can you clean the floor as usual now?

[@DIYDalia]

Yup! No problem so far!

[@maryloufulton957]

hey @DIYDalia...do you still have the tiles intact/have they held up?

[@pinkcharms]

I love it! You make everything look doable :)

[@DIYDalia]

Thanks Wendy!

[@lindseylk7]

Would love to know how this is holding up and if anyone has done this and pulled it up. Would love to know how easy it comes up. Also wondering why not cover with contact paper instead of shower curtain?

[@G1-_-]

This was such a great watch because it’s educational and your absolutely hilarious 🤣 You and your partner make a great team and the floor tiles looked amazing! Get yourself some knee pads and a back support strap, i wish i did years ago 😭 Also, it would be lovely to see a video about yourself, your journey, inspiration etc! 🙂

[@vennitahensley4841]

Looks great

[@careymankins1268]

Did your grout stain the tile at all? I just did my kitchen with these tiles and same kind of grout and the staining from the grout is terrible. I was wiping right after applying the grout too :( I hope I can get it cleaned up.

[@CoryeWest-bj3nv]

I was thinking of doing this to a 14ftx16ft room and we originally have hardwood floors with varnish I do not want to damage with adhesive. I am looking at the more wood style peel and stick tiles so I won't need grout. Do you thing I will have issues doing in a larger area based on your opinion if I go wall to wall I'd imagine it cant shift if its pushed against all walls. Let me know your opionion.

[@averyw.6311]

I am completely new to all of this and my question is: DO YOU LEAVE THE FLOORING DOWN IF YOU STICK DIRECTLY TO THE FLOOR. AND IF YOU PULL IT UP CAN YOU RE-USE THE TILES???

[@luke50469]

How did the vynal tape and shower curtin work?

[@moussabby]

A shower curtain? That's brilliant!!! How did you come up with that? It looks great and really matches the backsplash now! Love it!

[@DIYDalia]

Thank you! I actually had someone comment once that an underlayment could work and it made me think of the shower curtain.

[@moussabby]

@@DIYDalia I would have never thought of that. :) Thank you!

[@ayahbarakat1559]

There are actually other videos of this same method using the shower curtain as a barrier. Definitely not new but very well done!

[@Artisbeauty716]

I keep scanning the comments so I’ll cross my fingers for a response I know you’re busy but if we use grout that makes it more permanent and not renter friendly? I’m asking not assuming and the spacers are needed why Thanks for your time to answer and for making these videos you’re amazing

[@DIYDalia]

because I put down the shower curtain first the entire floor is pretty much a floating floor. to remove it I just have to lift up one edge tile and the whole floor will come up! none of the grout is actually touching the original floor.

[@dtruth8520]

You did a great job! Also, you remind me of Selena Quintanilla. Youre beautiful.

[@davidanthony5894]

Hi @Dalia! How did the shower curtain underlayment method compare to the 3M vinyl tape method you used for the washroom ?

[@ranaali1391]

Do the tiles make a sound when u walk over them ? Since a curtain is placed underneath them? Or is it perfectly fine and practical? Plus thanks for ur ideas❤

[@DIYDalia]

You know what...my husband had the exact same question! But no sound! Seems perfectly fine so far 🥰
