$150 DIY FIREPLACE MAKEOVER | budget friendly and renter friendly fireplace upgrade idea

What do we think?? Decided to DIY my fireplace for under $150 and I think it turned out pretty nice 😊
.
I started off using real stone peel and stick tile but that was going to require a wet saw and I was like ehhh 🥴🥴
.
So instead I used some peel and stick tile I found on Amazon and it was exactly what I was looking for! Durable and thick but easy to work with.
.
All you need is a 2-3 boxes of tile, an exacto knife, cutting board, and measuring tape.
.
How to: clean off the area, measure it out, make slight cuts in the tile with your exacto knife, bend at the cut and it snaps off with a pretty clean line!
.
It definitely got tricky at parts and it’s not perfect, but for $150 I’ll take it!
.
Such a great idea if you rent a house or apartment or are like me and don’t want to drop major $$$ on a project yet.
.
Tile and material is linked in my bio and I’ll add it to a highlight on IG. YAY! ✨

It looks nice and brighter. As the comments say, they could melt. You say you don't use the fireplace but can see it has been. Keep a watchful eye on it. I like changes. For the cost, you can do it in warmer months, take them off in winter.

The granite is nice, but I also like the concept of brightening it up...I have green granite, so I totally understand. The color palette looks amazing

[rakhis]

Love it. Where did you get the tile from?

[johnnybri]

Has the fireplace heat melted the glue on the fake tiles?

I like the yellow marble better. The new look looks cheap. It could not hold on once u turn it on

Why one would cover up that beautiful stone with plastic is beyond me…

[SpiritualWarfareDM]

Our fireplace has that ugly brown and gold granite around it and my husband and I hate it. We're trying to find something safe, but not permanent, to cover up the ugly granite.

Temporary (till that fire gets hot a couple of times).

Why would you cover up granite with cheap peal & stick junk???
Shameful… that stuff isn’t fire/heat safe…
-It would be fine for a prop/faux fireplace for a stage set, but not a actual working one in a home

[michaelsmyth]

covering up solid marble with cheap looking plastic stick on tiles is a weird thing to do

They will be falling off within one year
