You can check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.homedepot.com\/5-small-bathroom-updates-make-impact\/\">first part right here<\/a> on The Home Depot Blog! I must say I didn\u2019t know how much of a difference adding peel and stick backsplash tiles to this space would change it. But what surprised me even more was the easy application of the peel and stick <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/s\/smart%2520tiles?NCNI-5\">Smart Tiles<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-101860 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/21acf1611cc946333d827dba7ca1920d.jpg\" alt=\"Peel and Stick Backsplash Tiles\" width=\"750\" height=\"587\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Smart Tiles are made of an \u201cadhesive substrate topped with a gel component called Gel-O (which gives it its 3-D effect).\u201d Smart Tiles guarantees that their product will stick without adding extra glue and will never yellow or crack with time. The tiles are lightweight, easy to handle, cut and maintain, and they will remain on your walls for as long as you wish them to be!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-101861 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/aa1678471d8eaf550784b23c3be5ade6.jpg\" alt=\"Peel and Stick Backsplash Tiles\" width=\"750\" height=\"1130\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With just a few easy steps, you can transform a backsplash or a wall like this in a few hours! For this space, I chose the Metro Grigio\u00a0peel and stick backsplash. A medium gray color that mimics a 2 x 4 subway tile with gray grout. They have so many beautiful choices to choose from so I did have a hard time narrowing it down! My favorites are the Metro Blanco, and the Metro Carrera!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-101862 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/c94d4280a3148333fc889d64350075ea.jpg\" alt=\"Peel and Stick Backsplash Tiles\" width=\"750\" height=\"1130\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-101863 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/be5597f4c8ef75f3f6f7d3341deec4f9.jpg\" alt=\"Peel and Stick Backsplash Tiles\" width=\"750\" height=\"1130\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Smart Tiles come in a box just like this with simple instructions.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Materials<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Box cutter<\/li>\n<li>Self-healing cutting mat<\/li>\n<li>Level<\/li>\n<li>Ruler<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 1: Clean the Walls<\/h3>\n<p>Before you apply the tiles make sure the walls are clean and free of any noticeable uneven bumps.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 2: Level the Tiles<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-101864 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/881704a5800dd78e2d780ff84a9ccf4c.jpg\" alt=\"Peel and Stick Backsplash Tiles\" width=\"750\" height=\"1139\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next use a level and trace a guide to make sure the tiles align correctly during the duration of the installation.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 3: Use a Template<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-101865 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/bbe11ae76e9b95f42f0fe09ad8eca573.jpg\" alt=\"Peel and Stick Backsplash Tiles\" width=\"750\" height=\"1136\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-101866 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/f677a030d0f9024bfcab521ef2c6152c.jpg\" alt=\"Peel and Stick Backsplash Tiles\" width=\"750\" height=\"495\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-101868 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/ab91600462df8c7f1e32127f79e1079d.jpg\" alt=\"Peel and Stick Backsplash Tiles\" width=\"750\" height=\"497\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Before any cuts were made I peeled the back of one tile and used it as a template. I marked where I needed to cut and reported it back to the tile. This works great especially when you have tight corners or harder cuts. So as you go, save the backs and you can continue to use them as templates when it\u2019s time to cut!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step 4: Peel the Tiles<\/h3>\n<p>Before you put the tile on the wall wipe off any material that may have come off the cuts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-101869 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/3d7c6fb5274c83d759454d9f958fd49d.jpg\" alt=\"Peel and Stick Backsplash Tiles\" width=\"750\" height=\"1136\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now peel off the back and align the adhesive portion with your guideline then apply a light pressure. Smooth out any bumps or air bubble that might form. But most importantly make sure that it\u2019s straight. If you find that it\u2019s not then quickly remove it and reapply to adjust.<\/p>\n<p>Once you get on a roll you will be on your way! Keep checking to see if things are level along the way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-101870 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/3ea5e36ac9f78558825a9ae99865c3c3.jpg\" alt=\"Peel and Stick Backsplash Tiles\" width=\"750\" height=\"1136\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-101859 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/1f5445983a8a7c12da13d31b8df20a35.jpg\" alt=\"Peel and Stick Backsplash Tiles\" width=\"750\" height=\"1134\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-101871 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/1d280d10179d3e4b6824884dd6067f85.jpg\" alt=\"Peel and Stick Backsplash Tiles\" width=\"750\" height=\"495\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In order to line up the subway tiles if you are applying the Metro collection, you will overlap the tiles.

Here are a few questions they had that I think you might want to know too!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you see the seams?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Only if you look super close you can, but when you just look at them it takes a bit to find them. To hide them, I ran my finger over them to adhere them very well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you use them in the shower?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, but you can use them near the shower just like I did! The Smart Tiles website explains this a bit more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does it feel?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Great question! It feels like it has some texture to it. It\u2019s not a hard tile feel but it you can certainly feel the difference between Smart Tiles and something like wallpaper that has no dimension.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you cut around the corners and outlets? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s actually pretty easy. Just make a template and use your box cutter to get the most accurate cuts. Use a ruler or straight edge as your guide and press the box cutter firmly into the tile and make a sharp cut.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<p>Ready to try out these peel and stick backsplash Smart Tiles for yourself?
