How to Install Peel and Stick Tile Backsplash (because it's SO EASY!) | The DIY Mommy

[@swrigley9861]

When I did peel-and-stick tile on my kitchen backsplash I had 6 outlets I had to cut around plus a decorative window molding. Phew! It was still an easier job than actually tiling though and it has held up well for about 7 years now.

[@thediymommy]

Wow! 7 years? That's great! Thanks for sharing!

[@jessicalumbard6583]

What brand did you use?? I’m worried about longevity with the peel and sticks

[@swrigley9861]

@@jessicalumbard6583 I used the Smart Tiles brand. I got them from Home Depot but I know other places sell them too. When I looked up my order to check the brand I noticed I got them in Jan 2016 so I haven't had them quite as long as I thought. But it's been almost 5 years and they still look great and haven't had issues coming off the wall. If they did I would probably just use caulking to reseal the edge.

How do you clean them? Xx

[@swrigley9861]

@@MrKcl1 I just wipe them down when I'm wiping down my counter tops. (Water with a little dish soap)

I have been staring at a box of press-and-seal tiles I bought for my kitchen for 2 weeks now, afraid I would not be able to do it. You made it look so easy, and all the tips were so needed. Can't wait to try it now! Thanks!

Never have done peal and stick. I will try now....I can put stickers on paper so I have confidence I can do this.....thank you.

When you said it lasts in “-45 to +30 weather”, I was like that sounds perfect, because that’s the weather we have here! Then you said “Here in Alberta, Canada”! Hi from another Albertan! 👋🏼😁

Love your video on the peel and stick tiles. It's given me the confidence to do my kitchen back splash! Thanks!!

[@livhuff2854]

Thanks for posting this! You inspired me to purchase a peel & stick backsplash for our rental kitchen. You suggestions were very practical and simple. We absolutely love the look! Thank you! BTW I love how inexpensive and practical you are & that you are Canadian and stick to Canadian stores & prices! From a fellow-Canadian who gets tired of all the American references thank you!!

Thank you so much for doing this video. I haven't put up peel and stick tile myself. When I used to live in the town house with my daughter, she did it and did a beautiful job. This tutorial has helped me out a lot. I want to put a backsplash behind my kitchen sink.

The backsplash turned out beautiful and I’m going to try that in my kitchen. I went back and watched your studio tour and I have two questions. 1. Where did you purchase your white curtains and 2. Where did you purchase the light fixture over your kitchen island? I have an older house built in the 80’s and omg everything has to be updated lol. Your studio is absolutely beautiful! You guys did an amazing job!

I remember when this was a new item at Home Depot and they were quite pricy. Easier than real tiles of course. Your Dollarrama tiles look great! Btw, love your blouse💖

[@Marys_Life_64]

Home Depot is almost always more expensive. Try looking in a regional chain. We have a Home Depot & Menards. Most of the time Home Depot doesn't have what we need or want or it's significantly more expensive than Menards. Menards is a regional chain & have a website.

[@ChippyNest]

[@mikafassie]

Lovely and cost effective. Wondering why you didn’t start at window and work towards wall since window is focal point?

[@abigaelrarts2257]

i think it might be bc if you work up to the window then you can use painter's caulking to cover any misgivings in the cutting, whereas u typically don't see caulking where the wall meets the other wall 😊

[@simonedm111]

That turned out nice. I always see those tiles at dollarama, but I'm usually skeptical. I might just give them a try

[@AZDroidTech1]

how did it turn out? These look quite fake

Are the walls the same white as the cupboards? Love the peel and stick tips!

[@thediymommy]

They are! I painted all of the walls in the house and cupboards, Simply White by Benjamin Moore!

Brilliant, don’t think I’ll try them on existing bathroom shower tiles, but I’ll be doing the kitchen, ordering from eBay now as we’re in UK

[@hairynose656]

great informative vid, the end result looks great. I just bought a bunch of smart tiles with a grey grout i thought they would be good quality but the overlaping grout ends are not very accurate and all different lengths, some are much too wide. ill try and cut the longer one out because wider grout lines in some places won't look right, hopefully that won't be too hard and look good.

[@DG-fs7wg]

Doing this in my kitchen soon Thanks for the tips.

[@KT-kv2ke]

Great job! 👍🏻 PLEASE let us know how they hold up!!! Thank you! ♥️

[@thediymommy]

Will do! The ones in the camper are coming on 3 years but the Dollarama ones are a mystery - I'll keep you guys posted!

[@KT-kv2ke]

[@danisorenson8833]

You can also spray paint tiles any color. I saw a video where she painted them gold and it looked great. In an apartment would you need to lay down paper or something under floor tile to make it easier to remove when you move?

This is the question I have. Did you try the tile? I wondered if you can just cut it ,or do you need some kind of trim when it doesn't go corner to corner?

I’ve never tried peel and stick tile but was considering it for my laundry room to try to save $ while still having a “wow” factor - even if it’s only for me 😂. Glad I stumbled across your video!

With how much time we spend doing laundry, you should have a pretty space! LOL! Give it a go, I'm really enjoying how mine turned out :)

[@maggiebaxter610]

This turned out beautifully Christina and would be an awesome fix for someone renting a house or apartment where you really can’t do anything more permanent. I’m jealous that it looks like you have more counter/island/storage space in your studio than I have in my eat-in kitchen (our home is older so storage is skimpy). Thanks for sharing and I hope your weekend is wonderful. 🤗 #kindnessmatters

[@lisaclark4555]

Thanks. Enjoyed the video. Was thinking of going this in my kitchen

[@juliebear19]

Are these types of tiles fitting to put over existing tile being used in a kitchen backsplash? And are they renter-friendly or do they damage the wall at all upon removal?

[@andreauribe6697]

This is so awesome! Two questions real quick... 1. How long does it last? 2. Can it be removed without hurting the paint behind it? I’m thinking of putting it in my rental house

[@thediymommy]

I've had them in my trailer for 3 years, some people below have commented that their's have been going strong for 7 years! I think they'll come off easily but you may have to touch up the paint after :)

[@foxyc4783]

When your ready to remove it does it leave glue residue or a mess on the walls? Please let me know. Thank you 😊

[@abigaelrarts2257]

if you feel up to it, you can use sandpaper to sand away any glue residue like u might for old wallpaper for eg, aaand (if u have the tools) some pre-made mud and a putty knife go a long way for peeled paint spots! not everyone likes mudding tho, i've had to rly work up to the skills i have now, it used to take me forever 😅 put definitely sandpaper 😄

[@elizabethlove4856]

Hello i have a question about the installation of the bricks. if i want to continue with the side wall should i start from the corner and then to fill the gap with silicon or I should overlap the corner the with the brick paper. Should i connect both walls by overlapping the sticking paper or i have to do they separately, and the corner gap who shows i can fill it with this silicon you used?

[@thediymommy]

Hi, here's a link to my FAQ about peel and stick tile that you might find helpful. I've never applied them over wood, but I suspect that you could. As far as removing them goes, it will leave sticky residue, so you'd have to clean it off with a product like Goo Gone thediymommy.com/how-to-install-peel-and-stick-tile-backsplash/
