- Unsure whether these sticky self adhesive 'peel and stick' tiles are any good? Well we wondered too, and this week we use them to tile our van conversions kitchen and decorate with some posh paste the wall wallpaper.

There's no doubt that using these peel and stick subway tiles are quicker and easier for the novice; plus they are a lot lighter. On paper they seem like a fantastic idea, despite this we weren't totally sold as we began using them. But you need tiles in van life, and these are super popular and affordable.
We have also selected some new wallpaper this week, as we wanted to inject a pop of colour in our van conversion. This was new to us; not least as it is a paste the wall type of paper. We were then left with a problem of how to finish the edges between the tile and paper.
Like most things we are novices at this, and just wanted to share how we did it. Let us know what you think in the comments.
Items used in this weeks van build
- Stickgoo subway peel and stick adhesive tile sheets
- trim fix adhesive
- white wood filler
- CBE sockets
- paste the wall wallpaper paste is Anaglypta brand. It has PVA in it and was from Toolstation

Morning Guys. Your attention to detail is what makes your van really stand out - amazing. Have a good week
Morning Highwayman. Thank you. We hope you have a great week 🚐🚐🚐
We used those exact ones in my mums van 3 years ago and we've been to Portugal and Spain and they've stayed on and most people think they are real!
That’s great news and we are pleased to hear it, we like how they look for sure.
Starting to look really good now Rich, I hope you realise I’m going to be pinching some of your ideas 😊
Thanks Graham. Pinch away bud, we’ve taken plenty from you 😂. We’re hoping to come and ‘help’ or at least bring some sandwiches once you get started. Take care 🚐🚐🚐
Looking good Rich and Kell. Well done
Thanks Donny 😊
Another great job. It's looking very smart x The Trim really finishes it off . x
Thank you 😊
Not a lover of tiling and papering and like you I hate the gap sealing..never get it straight. I’ve got so re sealing to do myself after finding a leak in my hightop van..waiting for the gunk to arrive..night of thunder and lightning heavy rain and worry..it’s what you get when you cut corners with iffy materials. Again looks a nice job you’ve done there..keep up the good work.
Ahh, yes it’s a struggle. We might redo the bead along the back as it’s just not quite right. It’s so tricky though, something to master 😆
The struggle is real brother..more rain this afternoon, I’m gonna be left with a swimming pool instead of a camper at this rate. Why does it always happen just before a chuffin rain storm..why didnt I notice the leak when it was dry..one of life’s little conundrums. Stay dry, stay straight.
Ah man. Hope you get it sorted soon. Fair play the rain last night was biblical
Wow looks amazing…great job on the wall paper
Cheers Kev. It turned out alright. Hope your build
Is going well. The 80/20 is looking sweet!
Morning guys, I've used the self adhesive tiles in the kitchen area of my caravan, and absolutely love them, so much that this winter I'm going to put some in my shower room/dressing room, and man that wallpaper looks fantastic and the wooden trim finishes off perfectly, can't wait for next week's video
Hey Neil. Thanks so much. They are super quick aren’t they, and now they’re up we really like them. There’s loads of different designs to choose from too - we aren’t that adventurous 😆.
a great result . it looks lush and nice that you had on a matching Tee Shirt with the wallpaper
Hehe. Didn’t notice that until editing. Glad you did Dean. Thanks as always for watching. Hope you have a great week 🚐🚐🚐
Great idea saving weight on tile they look fab and also the wallpaper well done sir
Thanks Pete. They’re definitely lightweight. Take care bud 🚐🚐🚐
Looks really good. Dave probably wishes we'd gone for stick on tiles. He found ours a nightmare..
Love the wallpaper too🥰
Thanks Emily. It’s a bit jazzy isn’t it 😊
I used those tiles in my ambulance, they stop being quite so sticky on the face after a few washes but they are silicon so allways feel sticky when dry 🤔
I love the wallpaper 😎 a bit trippy, id get Lilly to colour it in 😁 some nice bright 🌈 colours 👍 the wood strips look good and hide the join lovely 👍
As usual guys well done on choices and execution 😎
Ah that’s good to know re. The stickiness and makes sense. They did seem a bit gummy for sure.
Lol Re. The colouring. It has already been suggested and we’ve already hidden the crayons (jokes).
I'm probs going to wallpaper the underneath of my overheads.. Haven't found another solution 🤗
That might look neat Rob, so many choices these days wallpaper wise.
All the little bits are always time consuming but its really coming on, what you going to do next year when its all finished ? Mini trailer ?
That’s too true Paul. We have a few things to finish inside. And something to build for the passenger footwell - we also have something large to change out soon. As for the outside, a mini hauler sounds like a plan. We do want to build a hefty rear bumper with a tow bar. So that’ll be the first piece of the puzzle 😊
Those tiles look great and really go with the build, great skills even when winging it! Electrocution isn't fun 😂
Ha. You know it - always try to avoid electrocution if you can.
I hate wallpaper, I leave it to the Boss 😅,looks cool Richard 👍👍
That’s a smart move that John. Send the boss over next time 😂
Tiles are great real tiles would have been a good few kilos so good weight save and the wall paper goes really well to ihate wallpapering too donny
That’s a good point donny. They aren’t light are they. We are happy with how they’ve come out. Hope you’re doing well
@@WanderbusAdventures all good thanks guys
Very smart and funky! Your bus is looking amazing, great job 😎👍🏻
What happened to the overhead cupboard door front? Looks like a gouge in it? 😬😬
Thanks Ian. We love a bit of funk.
Good eye. Believe it or not it’s always been like that. That piece of birch was less than perfect from new, which was a shame. Weirdly you can’t see it when the light is off, which is a bonus. I think if I ever get another piece I’ll recut it, but it looks way worse on camera to be fair. Good eye lol.
@@WanderbusAdventures sowwwy 😂😂 thought you’d hit it with something 😎👍🏻
Lol on this occasion it wasn’t me. I’d own up to it haha. What is true is I knew it was there, decided I’d put it on the ‘inside’ then totally mounted the doors the wrong way round to hide it. So in a way it was my fault but not. But was 😂
Tegels zijn zeer mooi, behang bwa niet echt mijn ding. Maar is zeer mooi gedaan ❤❤❤❤❤
Heel erg bedankt. Behang is een grappig iets, we hebben er bijna geen in huis. Ik hoop dat het goed met je gaat. Wees voorzichtig.
Jawel hoor, gaat prima hier in Spanje. Vandaag nog 28 graden
@@Karelcostermans heerlijk, zorg voor een siësta.
Looks amazing guys, great job 😁 I always cut something wrong when making stuff for the van. I have learnt to count it as a first try 😉 also hate mastic, but have found WD40 to be my friend, you can get a really nice finish 😁
Oh that’s a nice tip, will look into that. I do think I’ll be giving it another go as it’s not quite right. The tiles have worked out well though 😊.
Also love a first try. Practice makes perfect and all that 😊. Thanks for the tip. Take care 🚐🚐🚐
So top tip for WF40…squeeze on mastic, chalk or adhesive as required, then get a rubber/latex glove, put it on, squirt some WD onto your finger of the glove and a small amount along what you have just laid. Then just run your glove finger along. You can mould the stuff in what ever shape you like, you don’t get messy and it leaves a smooth shiny finish. You can just wipe off tge WD once everything is dry 😁
Thanks for this. Really good explanation. Will give it a go 😊
Hi can I have the link about where you bought the wall paper ? I love it and hope to apply for our van too 😊
It’s nice isn’t it. We got it from Lust. They’ve got some amazing designs.
Nice! Are you going to rent out the house or the van as an air B&B ? I reckon you will live in the van :)
That's actually a great idea, we have talked about it 😂
