It's easy to dream of all the things we'd change about our apartments, but as renters, we can only do so much. Perhaps you'd like to redo an outdated fireplace, upgrade your kitchen's old floors, or better yet, give your out-of-date shower a fresh new look. It all sounds good in theory, but ultimately, remodels lie in the hands of our landlords — until now. Yup, believe it or not, there is a landlord-approved way to improve the aesthetics of our homes, and it's called peel-and-stick floor tile.
Whether it's a bathroom, living room, or kitchen that needs a new look, these tiles are water-resistant and require no grout to be installed. Simply trim them with a utility knife, unstick the back, and place them on your floor or wall. It's really that easy! Think of it as temporary wallpaper, but for floors and backsplashes. The best part is once you're ready to move out, all you have to do is unpeel the tiles and be on your way.
