kitchen backsplash update with peel and stick grey subway tiles

Last week, I decided to give my kitchen a fresh and stylish update by using peel and stick grey subway tiles for the backsplash. Let me share my installation story with you in a clean and easy-to-understand way.

First, I made sure to clean the wall thoroughly and remove any grease or dirt. It's important to start with a clean surface for better adhesion. I also measured the area and marked guidelines with a pencil to ensure a straight and even installation.

Starting from the bottom, I peeled off the backing from the first tile. I carefully aligned it with the marked guidelines, making sure it was level and straight. Then, I pressed it firmly onto the wall to secure it in place. It was surprisingly easy to do!

I continued the process, peeling off the backing from each tile and aligning them with the previous ones. The built-in grout lines helped me maintain consistent spacing between the tiles. I pressed each tile firmly to ensure they adhered well to the wall.

When I encountered outlets, switches, or corners, I used a utility knife to trim the tiles to fit perfectly. It took a bit of patience and precision, but the end result was worth it.

As I worked my way up the backsplash area, I repeated the steps, always double-checking the alignment and spacing. The peel and stick feature made it convenient and mess-free. No need for grout or special tools!

Once all the tiles were in place, I made sure to press them firmly to ensure they were securely adhered. I used a roller and a clean cloth to smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles, giving the backsplash a polished and professional look.

Now, every time I step into my kitchen, I'm greeted by the sleek and modern beauty of my peel and stick grey subway tile backsplash. It's a simple and affordable way to transform the space without the hassle of a traditional tile installation. I couldn't be happier with the results!
