Not only this, but if the cost of living crisis has made your purse feel tighter than ever before, you’re sure to breathe a sigh of relief when you find out that this hack will cost you just £11.

Britt, a mother who often shares cleaning and interior tips online, recently took to social media to demonstrate how she turned her plain white kitchen from drab to fab.

In a short clip shared online, the content creator gave her followers a close-up look at her kitchen as she confirmed: “I’ve bought £11 peel and stick tiles from Temu for my kitchen – let’s see what the crack is.”

Britt then confirmed: “Last year we got a brand new kitchen fitted and I’ve been struggling with what tiles to choose ever since, so when I saw these peel and stick tiles, I thought it was a good opportunity to try before I buy the real thing.

“So this is my kitchen before putting the tiles on, I definitely feel the absence of something being on the wall – it needs a bit of va-va-voom, you know what I mean?”

After giving her walls a quick clean to ensure that there was no oil or grease present, the brunette beauty began applying the stick-on tiles.  

Britt advised DIY fans to “really focus on making sure that there are no air bubbles”, and shared that she used a paper guillotine she already had to make sure she was getting “really straight cuts”.

The savvy mum then acknowledged: “I’ll be totally honest, I don’t have any advice for doing around the plug sockets and light switches, because honestly, I just eyeballed it.”

As she proudly showed off her finished kitchen backsplash that had been given a new lease of life thanks to the affordable Temu tiles, Britt confirmed that she was “absolutely buzzing” with her DIY project. 

She beamed: “I think it really does look really realistic and obviously such an affordable option, or even just a good option if you want to experiment with colours like I am.”


The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @brittinmotherland, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly raced up 105,200 views, 1,002 likes and 239 saves.

Many flocked to the comments, eager to praise Britt’s ‘gorgeous’ kitchen tiles.
