Anyone used peel & stick tiles in the bathroom?

I hate our bathroom but just can't afford to replace it so was thinking peel & stick might be a good way to freshen it up? It's not our forever home so doesn't need to last forever.

We have 3 fully tiled walls and thinking of some fun wallpaper for the 4th wall. Would do the floor too.

I've done it on the floor. It's quite a small bathroom, think I used 5 packets of tiles. I did use extra glue as I didn't want to risk any coming up.

My fingers hurt from having to cut so many into shape though by the end 😂

Once I resealed the edges, loo and sink pedestal it looked really good (but it's the worst most awkward and fiddly job ever trying to lay silicone sealant in a small bathroom)

It's been down about a year now and none of the tiles have lifted. Would recommend for a floor facelift - it was ugly lino before, just laid then straight on top.

Thanks @AHugeTinyMistake. We have the world's ugliest dirty grey tiles at the moment so anything is better than that!

Yes but...the tiles are really fiddly to cut and actually quite hard/break easily so if you have lots of bits to work around I would avoid it. Also some tiles did move over time I found and made gaps. For the floor I would go with a vinyl off cut and stick it down with strong glue.
