The 8 Best Peel and Stick Tiles of 2020

Get the look of a hardwood floor for significantly less with these peel and stick vinyl adhesive tiles. The tiles have a high gloss finish, are water-resistant, and will blend seamlessly in any room in your home from your bedroom to your bathroom to your kitchen to your entryway. Lie the tiles vertically (to match the lines of the “planks”) to create the look of wood floors or place them in different directions for a patterned tile look. Reviewers say these are easy to cut and place down.

Made with materials and a proprietary glue that can withstand the heat of the kitchen and that can be wiped down for easy cleaning, these multi-colored tan, beige, and white peel and stick tiles make for an elegant backsplash. While they can handle steam so you can use them in the bathroom, they’re not recommended for use directly in the shower. Reviewers say they are simple to install (even for those who don’t know the difference between concrete and grout) and are an affordable facelift for a kitchen or bath.

These peel and stick subway styles will give you that farmhouse chic look you crave without any time-consuming headache of placing individual tiles or mixing up concrete. These "tiles" are actually PVC panels that match up seamlessly, with a 3-D pattern that gives the look of individual tiles. The panels are made of anti-bacterial and anti-mold PVC that doesn’t emit dioxins and are water, heat, and humidity-resistant so these can be used in your kitchen or bath. Note that the “tiles” measure 2.69 x 1.5 inches, which some reviewers say are smaller than what they expected.

These self-adhesive vinyl wall tiles look like real copper and add a touch of modern sophistication to any wall. They’re made of aluminum composite and a proprietary Lightweight Vinyl Technology. What does that mean for you? You can cut them to fit with nothing more than a utility knife and, at the same time, they’re extra durable; in fact, these come with a 20-year warranty. They can be spot cleaned or wiped down and are splash, moisture, steam, chip, and heat resistant up to 190 degrees.

Get the look of a custom-designed tile with these gray and white, gothic motif, vinyl floor tiles. Try the bold pattern in a smaller area like an entryway or use them in a sunroom to bring the feel of the outdoors in. (Note that they aren’t recommended for outdoor use, so don’t try them on a patio.) They’re water-resistant and washable thanks to the textured low-luster finish; plus they’re fireproof up to 176 degrees Fahrenheit and are phthalate-free. Unlike the brand’s NuWallpaper and wall decals, these self-adhesive tiles are intended to be permanent additions to your floor.

Create a show-stopping backsplash or accent wall or accentuate your fireplace or patio with this natural white, gold, and honey quartz self-adhesive tile. The tiles are frost-proof and the heavy-duty adhesive will stick indoors or out. Be warned that these tiles are made of actual stone which means a) you’ll need a tile saw to cut them and b) they’re heavy, and some reviewers say they needed an extra dose of Gorilla Glue to get them to stick for the long haul. But once they’re installed, you can sit back and let the compliments roll in.

It’s hard to go wrong with the classic look of clear glass tiles. The mix of different sized square and rectangle “tiles” add variety to the otherwise colorless look. The 1-foot square sheets adhere to any clean, flat surface from drywall to a painted wall. Made of glass, these are resistant to heat and humidity so you can stick them to your shower walls for a quick bathroom upgrade or behind the stove to makeover an otherwise bland kitchen or to the exterior of your fireplace for a new look in your family room.

When you want to add decorative trim to your walls or a pattern to your floor, temporary backsplash, or fireplace, these smaller 3 x 6-inch tiles make it a cinch. Just be sure that the other tiles are the same height or you won’t get a flat surface—that’s especially important when designing a tile floor. These glass tiles can be used indoors or out and can be cut with basic glass cutters, which are relatively inexpensive. You’ll find these tiles in a range of colors, patterns, and materials. While grouting isn’t necessary, some say it enhances the look.
