25 Peel and Stick Backsplash Ideas To Revamp Your Rental

Rental decor can be a drag sometimes when you can't swap out lighting fixtures, paint in your preferred colors, or pull out that outdated carpeting in favor of more contemporary flooring. Luckily, there are a slew of rental-friendly peel-and-stick backsplash tiles that can upgrade your space and make it feel like yours. They're easy to install (we shared a few TikTok videos below), can be used as more than just backsplashes (hello, floors), and require zero drying time or grout mess. Here are our favorite peel-and-stick tile suppliers for your mid-century, all-white, pops of color, subway tile kitchen dreams. Use them in bathrooms, laundry rooms (if you have one), pantries, or even stair risersfor an instantly fresh look.
