1. Window Coverings

Kristen highlights an innovative peel-and-stick window film from Artscape, available at Home Depot. This film creates a frosted window effect, allowing light to come through while providing privacy. It’s an excellent solution for rentals where blinds or curtain rods aren’t permitted. It offers a cost-effective way to transform windows, even those with undesirable views.


I also found Artscape products on the Walmart site and they have some really pretty designs:

Artscape Bamboo Decorative Window Film

Artscape Etched Glass Window Film, 24" x 36", Textured

Artscape Trellis 24 In. x 36 In. Window Film

2. Peel-and-Stick Backsplash

Next, Kristen introduces peel-and-stick backsplash tiles from Smart Tiles, also available at Home Depot. These tiles, with their realistic texture and easy application, are perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.


They can be cut to fit around outlets and applied directly over existing tiles or drywall, providing a quick and stylish update.


You can also find Smart Tiles products on Amazon. Here are a few of the most popular designs:

SMART TILES Peel and Stick Backsplash - 5 Sheets of 9" x 9"

SMART TILES Peel and Stick Backsplash - 5 Sheets of 11.43" x 9"

SMART TILES Peel and Stick Backsplash - X-Large 5 Sheets of 22.56" x 11.58"

3. Peel-and-Stick Floor Tiles

For flooring, Kristen recommends peel-and-stick floor tiles from WallPops aka FloorPops. These tiles are flexible, thick, and come in various patterns, making them perfect for covering outdated floors. They are affordable, with packs of 10 tiles priced around $13, allowing for significant updates at a low cost. Kristen used them in her bathroom makeover, transforming the space for under $50.


FloorPops is also on Amazon and their products have rave reviews:

4. Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is another great option Kristen discusses. Available at Lowe’s and made by WallPops, this wallpaper can create accent walls or cover entire rooms without the permanence of traditional wallpaper. Kristen chose a shiplap pattern, giving her space a farmhouse feel without installing actual wood boards.


WallPops is also on Amazon. Here are the top-rated designs:

5. Peel-and-Stick Contact Paper

Lastly, Kristen highlights peel-and-stick contact paper for countertops. This product can mimic the look of marble, making it ideal for covering old countertops or furniture. Kristen purchased her contact paper from Amazon for about $30 per roll and used it to update her bathroom countertop, achieving a stylish look with minimal effort.


Here are the best-sellers:
