Tile Decals - (Pack of 18 x Peel Off Decal Stickers)
Create custom designs in your kitchen or bath by experimenting with tile decals.
What Are Tile Decals?
In a sense, they are stickers for your tile walls. The decal designs have adhesive on the back, and you apply them by smoothing them against the surface of the tile.
Elaborate tile designs can get really expensive. If you lack the budget but want to add something special to your tile, decals are inexpensive and easy to apply. They range from cute shapes for children's' bathrooms, themed decals, to sophisticated patterns that look extremely realistic. Tile decals, also called tile transfers, are a budget-friendly alternative to replacing unattractive tile and an easy way to personalize your space when you are a renter.
Decal Designs
Decals are most often applied to kitchen and bath tiles, either as a border, pattern or mural. Choose a design based on your existing decor.
In the kitchen, tile decals can be applied to the backsplash or a tile countertop. Traditional patterns for kitchens include fruit and vegetables, floral designs and pastoral elements such as chickens.
Bathroom decals can be applied in the bathtub or shower, on the backsplash, or any other area of the room that is tiled. Ocean themes are popular for the bath, including seashell and fish shapes. For children, rubber ducks, ABC's, or animals are fun tile decal ideas.
However, if you'd rather steer away from what some might consider cliche decal designs, opt for a modern, geometric design. We sell a variety of attractive designs that can update any plain tile wall. Consider purchasing solid tile decals so you can create a checkerboard pattern.
Tips for Choosing and Applying Decals
-
When applying decals in a wet area, such as a shower or backsplash, be sure to select designs that are waterproof. Ours are 5 year approved waterproof vinyl.
-
Measure your tiles before purchasing decals to be sure you choose the right size.
-
Only apply decals to smooth tiles, such as ceramic tiles, and avoid applying them to textured surfaces.
-
Apply decals to clean surfaces only.
-
Avoid over-doing it: don't decal every single tile. Come up with a simple arrangement and stick to it unless you want to replace the whole design with a checkerboard pattern, then this is aesthetically acceptable.
-
Since decals are affordable and easy to remove, don't worry about committing to a design forever.
How Much Do Decals Cost?
Depending on how many decals you apply, it is possible to decorate your entire kitchen or bath for under £100.
How to Remove Kitchen or Bath Decals
If you've moved into a home where the previous tenant installed decals that aren't your style, or you simply want to change up your decor theme, tile decals are relatively quick and easy to remove.
Use a razor scraper to gently lift the decal from the tile surface, taking care to not scratch the tile. Soak a cotton ball or rag in nail polish remover and rub the tile until all the remaining adhesive dissolves.
