But one savvy woman named Cayley Wilders has set out to prove that you can spruce up your home on a budget – and it’s all thanks to £3.99 Peel and Stick tiles from Home Bargains.
And perhaps the best part of all?
They’re super simple and easy to apply with no mess, dirt or grouting.
In a clip posted to TikTok, the DIY fan shares a snap of the plain white kitchen walls before the simple but effective makeover.
“A quick way to do up your kitchen for a bargain…Home Bargains peel and stick tiles,” she says.
Cayley then explains how she bought around 15 packs of “Stick Ease: Self-Adhesive Vinyl Wall Tiles,” meaning she spent just £59.85 on her kitchen makeover in total.
Picking up a pair of scissors, she continues: “Lots of measuring and cutting – let’s do this.”

After measuring the tiles to size, the DIY guru then peels off the back layer to expose the self-adhesive sticky back, before carefully applying it to the wall.
But Cayley admits it’s a little bit more fiddly than she’d anticipated, so called in a helping hand.
“Looking good!” she enthuses, as the final touches are made.
And there’s no denying the product has completely transformed the kitchen, giving it a new lease of life.
If you’re hoping to follow in Cayley’s footsteps and recreate a cheap and quick experience at home, the product description online advises: “For best results apply to normal matt emulsion painted walls; do not apply to freshly painted walls.
“Wait a minimum of 2 weeks after painting.
“Walls should be clean and free of dust before application; wall stickers should be applied by an adult.”
The self-adhesive vinyl walls tiles are suitable for use as a kitchen or bathroom backsplash (not showers), worktops, tabletops, bedrooms, stair risers and all other flat surfaces.
