A peel and stick backsplash is the fastest way to refresh a kitchen — no grout, no contractor, and it goes up in an afternoon. Below: which tiles suit a kitchen splashback, what to watch for around heat and grease, and real products you can order today.

For the main prep areas and around the sink, they perform best on smooth, sealed surfaces.
Not sure which style? The Peel & Stick Tile Sample Kit (5 Styles) lets you test adhesion and colour on a small area first.
Follow the full walkthrough in How to Install Peel and Stick Tiles — surface prep is 80% of the result. Start in the most visible corner so any cut edges end up hidden behind the hob or cabinets.
