2. Tile the kitchen backsplash to add color and protect the wall from cooking messes. Bondera TileMatSet, a double-sided, peel- and-stick tiling adhesive is a great tool to use instead of mortar and mastic, eliminating the mess and allowing you to grout immediately after positioning the tiles.

3. Modernize old trivets by using the tile adhesive to create a custom tiled pattern that pops against tableware.

4. Explore your creative side by designing a charming tile pattern on an old tabletop, which will add pizzazz to lunches and evening drinks.
