Do you want to remodel your kitchen? I think that most people have something that they would like to change about their kitchen. However, lack of money and lack of carpentry or handyman skills can really put a damper on those plans. When we moved into our home, the kitchen was as blue as the eye could see. Blue counters. Blue backsplash. Blue isn’t the worst color ever, but, like everything else, it gets old.
DIY Projects Made Easier
We were able to paint our countertops to look like granite a year or so ago, but the backsplash still needed some work. I wanted to install backsplash tiles and I was not worried about installing them except for corners, around the kitchen window, etc. How would I cut a tile? It all just seemed like too much of a pain. Then I discovered Smart Tiles.
How To Install Smart Tiles Peel And Stick Backsplash Tiles
We started out with smooth laminate so there was no sanding involved. We cleaned our backsplash thoroughly with all purpose kitchen cleaner {don’t use anything that is oily or will leave a film}. Then we measured out a few places to make sure that out tiles would fit nicely and be even. Then we peeled the backing off of the Idaho Smart Tiles backsplash tiles and stuck them right to the existing backsplash. It was a very fast process that I worked on a few minutes at a time for a few days. You really could finish it in a few hours if you just stay at it, though. I think the peel and stick backsplash tiles from Smart Tiles look great. If I saw these in someone else’s house, I would never know they were fake unless I REALLY REALLY looked closely.
My Thoughts On Smart Tiles Peel And Stick Backsplash Tiles
I can’t find anything that I don’t like about these tiles. They are super easy to install and you can use scissors {they recommend using a cutting board and blade, but scissors worked fine for my purposes} to cut the tiles to fit in weird spots. Also, since there is no grout, I feel there will never be a need to whip out the old toothbrush to clean the Smart Tiles – just wipe them down with a soft sponge. Lower price to buy, less work to install and less work to maintain. That makes me really happy. 🙂

I like the Bellagio Bello. It would go nicely in the kitchen or my bathroom.
I absolutely love these tiles. I live in an apartment so I don't know if I would be allowed but I can try. Would do kitchen and bathrooms.
i like the white subway tile. i'd use it as a backsplash in our kitchen!
I am with you. I love the white subway tiles, too. :) It was really hard to make a decision.
I like the Idaho. I would use it in my kitchen.
I like the Bellagio Keystone. We bought anew(older)home last year and have already remodeled most of the kitchen---I still need to tile the back splash. Also coming up this year is a bathroom remodel that will need both shower tile and tile work around the vanity.
I really like the "Idaho". The colors in "Idaho" Smart Tile can be used for many color palates because of its Multi Color theme. We've been needing a backsplash behind our stove for years. I had never heard of Smart Tiles until now. This is a great and easy way to accomplish something I thought only a professional could accomplish. Thanks a lot for the information.
You are welcome. I like to try to tackle stuff around the house, but I am also well aware of my limitations. This is super easy. :)
