Disguise Tile Mirrors: 3 Chic Ideas

Dress up the tile mirror: foil

The easiest way to cover the backsplash is to cover it with plastic film.

• The film is available in rolls from hardware stores. They come from different heights.
• Thanks to the self-adhesive back, the film can be easily stuck to the tiled backsplash and easily removed again when moving out.
• The design possibilities with the adhesive film are almost unlimited. They are available in a wood, stone, and metal look, with natural patterns, photo motifs, or in one color.
• The film wipes clean easily but is susceptible to damage from sharp objects or direct heat.
• Point of cost: The film is available in hardware stores for around three euros per meter.

Cladding tiled panels: panels made of glass, metal, or wood

A chic alternative to the backsplash is panels made of glass, metal, or wood.

• The glass plates can be bought colored so that they completely cover the tiles.
• Alternatively, a photo motif or pattern can be applied to the back of a clear glass plate.
• Thin plates made of stainless steel, aluminum, or wood are also a chic alternative in the kitchen.
• The glass or Plexiglas can be glued directly to the cleaned tiles with a special adhesive.
• You can also glue the metal plates. For wooden panels, a substructure made of wooden strips is recommended, over which the panels are screwed to the wall.
• Disadvantage: It is difficult to subsequently create recesses for sockets and light switches in a panel. In addition, glued-on panels cannot be removed without leaving any residue.

Dress up the tile mirror: blackboard optics

A panel with a blackboard look, on which you can write notes, recipes, or drawings with simple chalk, creates a special look.

• The easiest way to design the kitchen in a blackboard look is to use blackboard foil. Like plastic film, it is self-adhesive and can be stuck directly onto the tiles. When labeling, however, the joints get in the way.
• Alternatively, you can paint a thin sheet of wood with chalkboard paint and attach it over the tiles. You will get the best result with a
• plexiglass or plastic panel coated with chalkboard paint. These have a smooth surface and can therefore be easily refined with chalkboard paint.
