Modern Kitchen Tile Update<\/h2>\n

I am so excited to be here today on the Home Depot Blog to share something that has kinda blown my mind! We were able to transform our kitchen in just a few short hours, with a modern kitchen tile by\u00a0Smart Tiles<\/a>. I\u2019ll admit, I was a little doubtful at how they would look and was originally going to test them out in a low-traffic area. However, once I received my box of Smart Tiles in the mail, I placed one on top of our kitchen backsplash, just for fun, which I have disliked since moving into our house 2 years ago. I stood back and fell in love! Turns out, the amount I needed for the original wall project, was the same amount I needed to overhaul my modern kitchen tile backsplash. Done!<\/p>\n

These Smart Tiles are magical. If you\u2019ve ever tiled any space in your home you know it can be a very long and messy process, but these tiles are quick and simple to install. My husband and I keep walking into our kitchen saying, \u201cwow, it\u2019s like we have a whole new kitchen!\u201d<\/p>\n

Smart Tiles come in square adhesive sheets and have a raised texture like traditional tiles do and even have a shine to them, like a glossy finished tile.<\/p>\n

Smart Tiles are very flexible and are simple to cut to fit around fixtures and corners. They will also adhere to a variety of surfaces, including right on top of your old tile, which we did! We have always hated how the color of our backsplash blended right into the countertop, so the gray modern\u00a0Metro Grigio tiles<\/a> provided the perfect pop!\u00a0 They are also easy to take off if you absolutely need to, but will last forever if you leave them in place!<\/p>\n

This modern kitchen tile is also very easy to maintain and wipe clean like traditional tiles. You can\u2019t even tell there\u2019s a seam from piecing the sheets together. Pretty cool!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re curious about attaching these tiles close to a stove top, yes, Smart Tiles are heat resistant. However, if you have a range like mine without a back control panel, you must respect the safety zone of 8 inches and install a smart panel, which takes about 5 seconds to install.<\/p>\n

I also love that I was able to use these modern kitchen tiles on our island in the small space between the counter and the bar! I hated the old tile color here, because it all meshed together so horribly between the two levels of granite. Smart Tiles was such a perfect fix!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re concerned about water leakage along a countertop near a water source, you can absolutely caulk along the bottom edge of these Smart Tiles. This will keep the water from seeping under. I color matched some sand-free tinted caulk and it turned out beautifully!<\/p>\n

Let me show you just how easy it was to install modern kitchen tile with Smart Tiles!<\/p>\n
