...Fab: My Weekend Kitchen Backsplash Transformation There's something incredibly satisfying...been staring at my kitchen backsplash, a dated, beige tile...a weekend to a DIY backsplash transformation. The project itself... simply peel off the protective layer and carefully stick it ...A couple of tiles didn't stick perfectly and needed replacing, ... demolition of the old backsplash to the final tile placement...

Peel and Stick Backsplash??
My fiancé and I just bought our first house and we are looking for cheap and easy ways to improve the kitchen. Let me preface this by saying that I am planning to completely gut the kitchen in about 2 years once we have saved up money for a full kitchen remodel. In the meantime I’d love to add a backsplash that I can install quickly and easily just so I don’t hate my kitchen as much for right now. Does anyone have any good recommendations for peel and stick backsplashes? I’ve heard good things about smart tiles but I’m hoping for a better option that doesn’t feel quite as rubbery. submitted by /u/Motor_Painting_3386 to r/HomeImprovement [link] [comments]

Favorite peel-and-stick backsplash options for renters
Hello guys, I have just recently moved into a new apartment and I would like to make some styling changes.I have been talking to the owner about the possibility of applying a paint of my choice but I am not sure that it will be possible. I have also been looking to improve on the look of the kitchen space and the bathroom and so I would like to buy some peel and stick backlash tiles that have an aesthetic to them.I have been going through the peel and stick backlash that is available on Alibaba and Amazon but I am yet to make a decision on which ones to buy at the moment.I would like to buy ones that are suitable to apartment renters and the owners won't have a problem with them.I would also prefer to buy some of the most popular backlash options since I am sure most look good and would improve the outlook of the spaces. The peel and stick backlash should be easy for a diy installation and be relatively affordable.I would like to get your insights on this. submitted by /u/Specialist-Limit3212 to r/ApartmentDesign [link] [comments]

Prep needed for peel and stick backsplash
This had some sort of self adhesive backed tile that was torn off, held fine, although some areas they seemed to need to use additional adhesive. I am considering replacing with one of these peel and stick options that have gotten so popular, but what would be the best way to prep this very rough surface for that?

Want to do peel and stick tile and wallpaper/contact paper do I have to ask for permission first? Also tips for doing peel and stick?
Me and my partner are moving into our third apartment this week and as we’ve been packing up we’ve been brainstorming ways to make the apartment feel like home not like we live in a hotel or it’s just a box with our shit in it and I keep coming back to the idea of peel and stick tile and wallpaper so far I’m just thinking the tile for the bathroom floors maybe some in the kitchen (backsplash and maybe floor too) and the wallpaper as an accent on cabinets. I’ve never done this before so I’d love some ideas on how to protect the walls, floors, cabinets etc but I’m wondering, do I have to tell/ ask my landlord/leasing office before I can do this? Will I get in any kind of trouble if they come in for inspections or maintenance and see the peel and stick? Or is it more of a thing where they would only charge us if there’s any damage at move out? I checked the lease agreement and there is a portion pertaining to alterations I’ll copy and paste what it says below, let me know what you guys think! Do I have to ask for permission prior? Also I’m in Utah if that means anything. Here is the straight copy and paste from the agreement I bolded what I think may be the determining factor of if I can or can’t do this DIY “ALTERATIONS: Alterations to your apartment are prohibited without written consent of the Management. The following are prohibited: a. The installation of a television antenna or satellite dish. Under the rules of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Resident has a right to install a satellite dish and/or receiving antenna within the leased premises. Owner/Agent is allowed to impose reasonable restrictions relating to the installation and maintenance of the satellite dish and/or receiving antenna. Resident is required to comply with these instructions as a condition of installing such equipment. Resident further agrees to pay Owner/Agent an additional $400.00 refundable deposit and sign a Satellite Dish and Antenna Addendum prior to installing satellite dish or any other receiving antenna. Resident understands that failure to comply with the terms of the satellite addendum, said dish or receiving antenna may be removed by Owner/Agent without warning at the Resident’s expense. b. The use of LARGE nails or adhesive hangers for pictures or mirrors. Only picture hangers or small-framing nails may be used. c. The boring, marring or puncturing of any part of the equipment, carpet, drapes, fixtures, walls, or ceiling of your apartment. d. The changing of, or addition of, new locks. e. Redecoration or painting f. Resident shall not replace or remove any of the apartment’s equipment or furnishings, including but not limited to Washer/Dryer units, Refrigerator, Dishwasher, Stove/Range or Built- In Microwaves. It is prohibited for Resident to add or utilize any additional appliances, including but not limited to Deep Freezer, Upright Freezer, Portable Dishwasher or Washer/Dryer Units and/or Portable Heating or Cooling Systems in apartment. Owner/Management is not responsible for any damage or losses incurred by Resident adding or utilizing any prohibited appliances. g. No aluminum foil, shades or colored blinds in the windows. All window coverings must be those that are supplied by the Management: however, if you wish to use your own drapes, they must have white backings. h. Air conditioning apparatus or equipment installed without the prior written consent of the Owner. i. Resident will not permit or suffer any signs, advertisements, or notices to be displayed, inscribed, painted, or affixed on any part of the outside of the demised premises or any building, except on a directory board if provided by the Landlord.” The only thing I think would be a no is the “redecoration or painting” but that’s so vague right? Maybe I should just ask for permission? Or do I ask for forgiveness instead? 🤔 submitted by /u/Crackrat42069 to r/ApartmentHacks [link] [comments]

Installing peel and stick backsplash
I am planning to install some peel and stick backsplash but I was wondering…do I install it until the end of that ledge? Do I buy something to line the edge of the tile? I am planning to cover that phone line we never use submitted by /u/subtle_tree to r/DIYhelp [link] [comments]

Your experience with peel-and-stick tile
We just recently moved into a new apartement (rented) and it has piss-yellow tiles in the kitchen and both bathrooms. For the bathrooms I am thinking about paint and some vinyl flooring. (Our landlord is fine with that) I have been looking at some solutions for the kitchen backsplash though. Since the kitchen has already been installed in front of the tiles, painting them is not an option. I would have to remove the kitchen so that we can paint all of the tiles. I have been seeing peel and stick tiles everywhere and the price seems very good for a short-term usage period. The budget is very low, the less, the better. Has anyone had any experiences with these type of tiles? How durable are they, are the seams very obvious? Thanks in advance! EDIT: It's mostly about walltiles in the kitchen as a backsplash. Sorry, corrected it above too. Also I will get written approval, but the landlord is absolutely fine with us even painting the tiles. He is just happy we take care of the apartment since the last tenants did not. And we are looking at something that lasts 3-5 years, obviously not a permanent fix for decades! And no in Germany the landlord does not have to lay out flooring. submitted by /u/Menschenblind to r/DIY [link] [comments]

Painting 4x4 Tile Backsplash vs Peel & Stick Tile
Hello! My wife and I are buying a house (yay!) and now that most of the stressful paperwork stuff is done, I'm starting to think about some of the projects I want to take on. I want to update this kitchen a bit, with a focus on toning down the pinkish beige somewhat. I think getting rid of the wallpaper and painting the walls a different color will go a long way towards accomplishing that. I'm planning to replace the hardware on the cabinets, but otherwise I'm going to leave them as they are because I like the Honey Oak look. We're also planning to leave the linoleum floor tile as it is, because we want to put most of our budget into other parts of the house right now and that seems like a bigger project than we can take on. I'll get a big washable rug to cover it up, most likely. I'm also planning to replace the curtains and swap out the greenish fluorescent undercabinet lighting with more neutral LEDs. My big question is what to do with the tile backsplash. I don't want to pull all the tiles off and replace it just yet (I'll save that for a full kitchen renovation several years from now), but I also don't want to keep it as it is. People seem to be split on painting tile, with some staunchly advocating to never do it, while others seem to say its fine as long as you use the right paint (particularly epoxy paint). I've also seen peel and stick tile proposed as a less expensive solution, but a lot of what I've seen looks kind of cheap so I'm not sure about it. submitted by /u/benjaminpoole to r/kitchenremodel [link] [comments]

Previous owner "upgrades" are slowly driving me insane
We bought our first house last fall and I am slowly realizing the previous owner was that DIY guy from YouTube who thinks he is a master contractor. At first it looked cute and "updated". Now every week I find one more cursed project. Light switches that do nothing or turn off half the basement. A bathroom fan that vents straight into the attic so now the insulation smells weird. All the curtain rods are installed with tiny drywall screws so they rip out if you look at them wrong. In the kitchen he put peel and stick backsplash right over cracked tile so it flexes when you press it. I pulled one outlet to change the cover and found three different types of wire just twisted together and taped. No wire nuts at all. I feel like I need to call an electrician and just say "assume everything is wrong". Has anyone else bought a house that was basically held together by vibes and caulk. How did you prioritize what to fix first without losing your mind or draining every cent at once submitted by /u/quietwanderer_x to r/homeowners [link] [comments]

Just got an offer accepted on our first house!!! Our budget will be low AF for the foreseeable future so definitely no new kitchen for a longgg time. Any thoughts on how to make this one a vibe? I’m thinking peel and stick tile and backsplash, but what would look cool with the wood cabinets?

Clients asking for “stick-on” tile backsplash. What’s actually durable?
I’ve had two homeowners mention peel-and-stick tile lately. Curious if anyone’s had long-term success with these, or if it’s better to steer them toward traditional install. submitted by /u/LimestoneLogic to r/Tile [link] [comments]

Deciding between two styles of jade green peel-and-stick backsplash tiles for my apartment kitchen. Do you prefer 1 or 2?
Note: in photo 2, that was the only consumer image I could find of those tiles in a kitchen with white cabinetry and white quartz countertop like I have, but I think I would take the tiles all the way to the bottom of the upper cabinets, to fill the space. I think I might be leaning toward 1, even though 2 is beautiful, bc I am more used to seeing the “offset tile” pattern of 1, vs parallel lines of tiles in 2 (hopefully that makes sense). Though, maybe the parallel/non-offset lines of 2 are more modern? Idk submitted by /u/citynomad1 to r/interiordecorating [link] [comments]

Are there any decent peel and stick backsplash products?
We are doing a tiny kitchen remodel and looking for something easy for the wall behind counter. In total the area is 90” long (sink in middle) and upper cabinets hung on either side of sink the typical 18” above the counter. The window will be hung a bit lower than the cabinets. Or maybe go with a water resistant wallpaper? On the other hand with such a small area it would be relatively cheap to buy the tile but we have to pay someone to tile it for us as we can’t do it ourselves. submitted by /u/jaluvic11 to r/kitchenremodel [link] [comments]

Updated our rental kitchen with peel and stick backsplash
We used a popular brand of peel and stick tiles. It cost about $400 CAD to do, and took probably 5 hours total. Nothing in our kitchen is level, so it was really tough, and we were really picky about getting as close to perfect as possible. It also didn’t help that the tiles would rip up the paint immediately, so there was no repositioning a tile once it was down (unlike how it was advertised). Likely due to poor painting of the kitchen I think. We will see in a few years how “rental friendly” these tiles actually are when it’s time to pull them off. I have my doubts. But such a great glow up in the mean time. submitted by /u/shockwavelol to r/HomeDecorating [link] [comments]

Peel and Stick Backsplash Over Tile?
First of all, I rent. I do plan on living here for awhile but you never know! This is my current backsplash in my kitchen and I hate it. I think it’s very busy and dated. I like a cleaner more boho aesthetic and have been wanting to try covering this up with a peel and stick. I’ve heard bad things about them peeling off paint when removed, but would they damage real tile like this? I heard some hacks of covering the area in painters tape or contact paper before putting the tile over it and thought that might work? Also heard of applying it to foam board/cardboard and command hooking it to the wall instead. Would that work here? I definitely don’t want to damage the tile already there but really want a change. Any suggestions?? submitted by /u/DubiousPeaches to r/HomeDecorating [link] [comments]

Peel and stick backsplash tiles?
I need to install a backsplash in my kitchen. I saw some articles about "peel and stick" tiles that look like stone but dont require you to rip out old tile/ replace dry wall etc. Does anyone have any experience with these? Do they look cheap? Do they hold up to heat if i install it behind a gas stove? submitted by /u/matteblack20 to r/HomeImprovement [link] [comments]
