Full details
This guide is for DIY enthusiasts, renters, and homeowners looking for an affordable way to refresh their spaces. The key benefit is an easy and impactful visual transformation without the commitment of traditional tiling. A potential caveat is that while durable, they are not a substitute for heavy-duty tiling in high-moisture areas like shower interiors. These high-quality vinyl stickers mimic Moroccan, Victorian, and mosaic tiles, offering a quick update for kitchens, bathrooms, fireplaces, and furniture. They are waterproof, oilproof, simple to apply, and removable without residue.

They work best on clean, smooth, dry, and non-porous surfaces like painted walls, glass, metal, and existing smooth tiles.
How do I clean the stickers?
Clean them with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What patterns and colors are available?
This specific product is black and designed to mimic Moroccan, Victorian, and mosaic tile patterns. Other patterns and colors may be available from The Tile Sticker Company.
Troubleshooting
Stickers not adhering properly
Ensure the surface is perfectly clean, dry, and smooth. Reheat the adhesive slightly with a hairdryer on a low setting and reapply pressure. Check if the surface is too porous or textured.
Air bubbles trapped under the sticker
Use a fine needle to prick the bubble and then press the air out with a soft cloth or credit card. For larger bubbles, gently lift the sticker edge and reapply, smoothing as you go.
Difficulty removing stickers cleanly
Gently heat the sticker with a hairdryer on a low setting to soften the adhesive before peeling. Pull slowly and at a low angle. If residue remains, use a mild adhesive remover or warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
Stickers peeling at the edges
Ensure the edges were pressed down firmly during application. If peeling occurs, apply a small amount of clear, non-water-based adhesive (like a craft glue stick) to the edge and press down firmly. Ensure the surrounding area is not excessively damp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth before application. Wipe down the area with a mild cleaner and allow it to dry completely. Peel the backing from one edge of the sticker and carefully align it with your desired starting point. Smooth the sticker down as you go, using a credit card or soft cloth to press out any air bubbles. Trim edges with scissors or a craft knife if necessary.
Compatibility: These stickers adhere best to smooth, non-porous surfaces such as painted drywall, glass, metal, and existing smooth tiles. They may not adhere well to heavily textured walls, unpainted wood, or surfaces with peeling paint. Ensure the surface is not excessively humid or greasy.
Care: Clean the stickers with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrub brushes, as these can damage the vinyl surface. Wipe up spills promptly. Ensure the edges are sealed to prevent moisture ingress.
