Transforming Our RV: A Simple Stick-On Subway Tile Makeover

Living in an RV means every inch of space is not just functional; it's personal. It's where the freedom of the open road meets the comfort of home. One of the joys of RV living is the ability to personalize and transform the space to make it truly ours. Our latest project? Upgrading the kitchen backsplash with stick-on subway tiles – a simple change that made a world of difference. 

When we first moved into our RV, we knew that making it feel like home would involve some creativity and elbow grease. The kitchen, functional but dated, needed a touch of modern flair. The metallic backsplash behind the stove and sink was a prime candidate for an upgrade. 

• **Removing the Old Tiles:** The first step was removing the old stick-on tiles. This was easier than we expected. Using a flathead screwdriver, we carefully pried the tiles off. A bit of heat from a hairdryer helped loosen the adhesive, making the removal smoother. Once the tiles were off, we cleaned the area thoroughly, removing as much of the old adhesive as possible. 


• **Preparation Is Key:** Next, we prepped the area for the new tiles. Cleaning off any residue was crucial for a smooth application, so we used rubbing alcohol to ensure the surface was spotless and ready. 


• **Installing the New Tiles:** We opted for stick-on subway tiles - an easy, budget-friendly solution that promised a big impact. The installation process was a breeze. After measuring the area, we selected the perfect style of peel-and-stick tiles that matched our vision: clean, bright, and contemporary. One of the best features of these tiles was their ease of customization. We could easily cut them to size as needed. By scoring the tile with a knife or box cutter and then snapping it at the score mark, we got the perfect fit for our space. The transformation was instant and dramatic. The once outdated kitchen now boasted a modern, chic look that completely changed the feel of our RV interior. 


• **The Joys of Personalization:** This project was more than just a cosmetic upgrade; it was about turning our RV into a reflection of our tastes and personalities. Each modification we make, no matter how small, brings us closer to having a space that feels uniquely 'us.' These personal touches transform our RV from a vehicle into a home, a sanctuary where we can unwind and be ourselves, no matter where we are parked. 

The stick-on subway tile project is a testament to how small changes can make a significant impact. It's a reminder that personalizing your RV isn't just about aesthetic appeal; it's about creating a space where memories are made, and adventures begin. If you're looking to add a personal touch to your RV, this might be the perfect start! And for those interested in giving their RV a similar upgrade, we found our stick-on subway tiles here.
