Peel-and-stick zellige-style tiles in orange and beige produced a striking checkerboard backsplash through a renter-friendly mini kitchen makeover. Two separate sets of single-color Smart Tiles were used; individual tiles were cut from sheets to assemble a custom checkered pattern that mimics real zellige texture. The wavy surface provides an authentic look at lower cost and with much less labor. The installation remained reversible for rental compatibility. The project cost totaled about $150. For those who prefer not to cut tiles, pre-patterned peel-and-stick options in varied color schemes are also available.
Even though I'm not a renter anymore, I'm still always on the lookout for clever renter-friendly DIYs and upgrades - to share with readers, of course, but also because I don't necessarily want every change I make in my home to be permanent. Lately I've been thinking a lot about peel-and-stick backsplashes, and I keep coming back to this mini kitchen makeover's gorgeous checkerboard pattern made with Smart Tiles zellige peel-and-stick tile in orange and beige.
The secret to this cute kitchen makeover is actually using two separate sets of peel-and-stick tile in both cream and orange. The wavy texture of these mimics the look of fancy zellige tile but for much less money and much less work. Because these tiles come in single-color sheets, Morgan, the renter behind this redo, chose to cut out individual tiles before creating her own custom checkered pattern.
