Honestly I didn’t expect them to last this long, cause I was skeptical about peel-and-stick tiles until I saw them used in a small bathroom in Boston, Massachusetts.
The bathroom didn’t need a full renovation, but the old backsplash made the space feel dated. The goal was to improve the look without dealing with heavy demolition.

Installing the tiles was easier than expected, but prep mattered a lot. The wall had to be completely clean and smooth. Any dust or uneven spots showed up immediately once the tiles went on.
The biggest downside was cutting around outlets and corners. That part took more time than expected.

After everything was finished, the bathroom looked cleaner and more modern. The tiles have held up well so far, even with moisture. The total cost was under $300, which made it worth trying.

If you’re renovating a small bathroom in Boston and want a low-commitment upgrade, peel-and-stick tiles can be a decent option if you prep properly.
