Tips for installing a DIY peel and stick tile backsplash. No mortar or grout needed with this easy installation method!
You can get a fresh look anywhere you want a tile accent with this easy DIY project!
These peel and stick wall tiles I used on our pantry backsplash were a HUGE timesaver. The adhesive on the back of these faux stone tiles make it easy and quick to install.
This peel and stick tile was the perfect solution in our pantry turned "butler's" pantry makeover!

Of course, another big reason I went with this stuff is the ease of installation. I knew it would be quicker, and NO grout is needed after installation.
The shape of these make them even easier to install, since they fit together like puzzle pieces:
