STICKGOO 10-Sheet Peel and Stick Subway Tile, Stick on Tiles Backsplash for Kitchen & Bathroom in White (Thicker Design)

I haven’t updated my kitchen in over 30 years. Honestly, it was a little embarrassing - but since everything still worked fine, a renovation was never a priority. Then I realized I could do a simple, budget-friendly upgrade using peel-and-stick tile. After a little research and help from AI (yes, really!) to choose colors and estimate quantity, I decided on this thicker subway-style backsplash and grabbed four boxes - at 20% off during Prime Days (used 3.5 boxes of 10 sheets each).This backsplash project was Phase 1 of 4 for my DIY kitchen refresh: 1) Backsplash, 2) Painting the cabinets - dark grey, 3) Peel-and-stick vinyl flooring - dark, and 4) Possibly a vinyl wrap for the countertop.I spent 8 hours total, including cleaning, prep, and installation. I took my time measuring (three times, minimum!) - especially around outlets, edges, and corners. Cutting the sheets was easy with either a utility knife and straight-edge or a good pair of scissors, but I found the utility knife gave cleaner results using 3–4 light passes rather than deep cuts. One tip: be sure to position the tile right the first time - once it’s stuck to the wall, pulling it off can damage drywall or reduce stickiness. So, I would test size & placement before peeling off the backing. Then, I'd cut several pieces of a row using the previous as a perfect pattern.Removing the backing paper was honestly the most time-consuming part! But once it was off, the tile applied easily and held firm. I’m really impressed with the quality and gloss - the partial mirror finish gives it a sleek, modern feel. I had just one dime-sized bubble behind a sheet, but it's barely noticeable due to the tile’s reflective surface.The result? I absolutely love how this simple project transformed my kitchen. It looks dramatically better (see before & after pics) - and friends have instantly noticed. Several have complimented my “craftsmanship,” which feels good, especially since I’ve installed traditional tile in the past and know how much harder that is.

Great product. Looks amazing. Can't tell its not real tile unless touch it. Color is true blue. Easy to cut and place.

These trompe l'oeil fake stick-on tiles look amazingly good - it's actually hard to tell they are not real. The only thing is that it is super hard to peel off the backing to get to the sticky stuff. I solved this by scoring it with a box cutter or scissor and then bending the cut a little to release the covering. The first lot I put up I added more glue, but I really did not need it. Amazing quick fix for a backsplash and a tenth of the price of tiles. Now I am going to do the other wall.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Really like these easy peel-and-stick subway tiles for our laundry area, which is small and doesn’t require a lot of decoration since you can’t see much once it’s filled. Make sure to line them up with the border sides lining up the same way!

I installed an entire kitchen backsplash with this product, and I’m really happy with the outcome. Time will tell if the adhesive holds to the wall over the long run, but initially it looks great and it’s sticky enough to install without additional glue. I laid a bead of silicone caulk at the bottom where it meets the countertop to protect against moisture and curling. And I used white trim strip on the sides where it meets the wall walls to hide the cut edges. Make sure you have the correct orientation with each panel because there is a grout line on only one side.

I’m very happy with the aesthetic of this tile for a quick diy installation without all the mess! I was pleasantly surprised with the end product. Disclaimer: I have never tiled in my life so this was a learning experience and if you have zero tiling experience like me then consider the following:One thing I regret with my installation—being a complete beginner—is having listened to other reviewers with using kitchen shears to cut the tiles. I unfortunately did that on my first wall and ended up with obvious jagged cuts. I eventually got my groove and chose to switch to a new blade on my utility knife and discovered the cutting process was much easier.Another thing I WISH I’d known (lack of detailed information for install info packet by fault of the manufacturer) is that I didn’t realize each piece (after being pointed out by my husband after multiple tiles already being stuck to the wall) that there’s technically a correct and wrong way to connect them. My lines aren’t great on the first portion of install because I didn’t see this so obvious difference. Really take time to puzzle pieces together BEFORE trying to adhere them to the wall. A good reference is look at the top portion of the grout line on each piece. If there’s a thicker grout line connecting to another piece with thicker grout line, you’ll have a fairly flawless connection. If one grout line is thin and another thick you need to rotate it around to connect the thick lines. Again, really looking at them and not making a snap decision is most helpful. Also if you have to cut any try your best to use the cut portion to connect back to it so the connection is less obvious.I highly recommend having kitchen & bathroom silicon caulk on hand for a more finished look. I ended up using it to meet the line of the tile to my granite and fix my “oopsies” with more obvious cuts on grout lines which left portions of my paint exposed . Again, probably more a beginner mistake—if I’d had any tiling knowledge it might have been slightly easier. I also luckily had a second brain (hubby) to bounce ideas off of for the more challenging cuts because my brain doesn’t puzzle/tetris well.Have a sharp utility knife, crafting cutting mat, level, pencil, sharpie, and kitchen/bath silicon caulk & gun.***also for those looking to have this be renter friendly…I wouldn’t recommend unless you don’t mind repairing walls. I had ONE piece pulled off (to redo) and after one day of adhering to the wall it stuck so bad it pulled multiple layers of paint off (luckily not drywall paper). It seems to have Great adhesion though!As far as measuring sqft vs what the box includes, I measured 24 sqft needed of tiles so I bought 4 boxes with minimal waste pieces. I have several full tiles left so I’d say their suggested amount vs what we needed was accurate.
