Peel & stick tiles: An affordable kitchen & bathroom reno solution

March 4, 2021 3 Comments

FacebookPinEmailTweet

When Yiwen Ling bought her home recently, she loathed the kitchenโ€™s green tiles, but her budget didnโ€™t stretch to a complete renovation. And after exploring many reno options including spraying the tiles or retiling, Yiwen stumbled across the world of peel and stick 3D tiles and from there her business, Stick on Luxury, was born.

โ€œThe green splashback was a complete eyesore but having emptied our bank accounts buying the house, we had no more budget to do up the kitchen. A re-tile quote was $2,000 and I found that spray painting was going to cost thousands too.โ€ She ended up revamping the space with peel and stick tiles for less than $300!

Heat-resistant and waterproof, the Stick on Luxury range is available in several formats โ€“ subway, hexagon, mosaic, herringbone, fish scale, penny round and a Moroccan lantern inspired design. โ€œAt the moment weโ€™re simply importing them, but weโ€™re slowly beginning to manufacture our own designs,โ€ says Yiwen who explains that the business will be rolling out a kit kat design very soon too.

The product can be adhered to wooden surfaces, painted and smooth walls, glass, acrylic panelling, stainless steel, ceramic, aluminium and plastic. The range is also easy to install (all you need to do is clean the surface and stick the product on), making it perfect for DIY-ers. โ€œThe great thing is that anyone can do it themselves without paying for labour. Iโ€™m amazed at how easy they are to use,โ€ says Yiwen.

You can also try before you buy with sample packs starting from $9 โ€“ a fee that is fully refundable if a purchase over $199 is subsequently made. The Stick on Luxury site also has a handy calculator making it easy to figure out surface area requirements before you buy.

โ€œI noticed a lot of people might be in the same boat as us โ€“ people that have dated tiles at home, are complete DIY noobs, yet don’t have the budget to do a full reno at the moment. We have made it our mission to help!โ€

It's not just the award winning designer houses that get us excited here. It's also the beloved family homes which are renovated and extended to make them fit for purpose so people can continue to live where they love ๐Ÿค—

@inspiredspacesaus helped her clients with teenage kids transform this house in Sydney's Hills District inside and out, making it their forever home. 

Due to the nature of the block they could only extend sideways and then gave it street appeal with render, new windows and doors.

See inside on the blog now, via link in bio. It was completely overhauled!

Funny how we go into super organised mama mode in times like these. Grabbed dinosaurs, textas and scrapbook on the way out in case we had a long wait!

UPDATE: thanks for all the love! Charlie is so well this morning after a big sleep!

    This is such a great idea.

    Do they stick on tiles that are already there with the indents okay? Or does it indent in with the flow of the previous layer?
