One of the downsides of being a design writer is spending many of your days writing about clever people's successful home DIYs and convincing yourself you could easily do the same thing in your own home. When I moved into my apartment and saw its worn-out black flooring in both the kitchen and bathroom, you bet I shrugged it off with a single thought: peel-and-stick tiles can fix that.
And I wasn't wrong — but I definitely underestimated it. Now the flooring wasn't horrible, but it could certainly have been better. Having "studied" many a saved Instagram reel of hacks and design-forward DIYs, I was ready to give one a go. A quick Amazon order and a free weekend later, my flooring was made anew. However, after living with peel-and-stick floor tiles for a little over a year now, I can't say I'm still quite as bedazzled by them.
