Disclosure: I received a complimentary set of Mixtiles to inspire this article. All writing and opinions are my own.
Spending an abundance of time at home during the stay at home order has led to a lot of home improvement projects. It feels like no matter how long you’ve lived in a house, getting things hung on the walls is a chore best saved for another day. After staring at a blank wall for the last few weeks, another day became TODAY.
Our upstairs hallway needed something, but it’s too small of a wall to put anything large. When Mixtiles reached out with the offer to demo a set of tiles, I knew it was the perfect solution for decorating this small space in my home.
We live in a world where capturing memories is just a click away, but actually printing those images is a whole different story. I’ve been working on actually printing a photo book from our trip to Scotland last fall for nearly 8 months and if I’m honest I only got as far as uploading the photos from the trip to England 4 years ago.
I don’t know why, but printing photos is not my jam.
The multistep process of taking things off my phone or camera, uploading them somewhere, editing them and then ordering them is just something I can not wrap my head around. Luckily, Mixtiles is the perfect solution for that problem.
Designed for square photos their website makes ordering insanely simple. You can even download their app if you plan to order new Mixtiles on a regular basis. From your phone you can select from social media sites like instagram or upload from your actual device directly.
The first set of three tiles is $49 and each tile after that is $9 [Plus they have tons of sales]. Each tile is 8″ x 8″ and you can select from one of five frame styles to match your decor. I started off with five tiles and will be ordering more to fill up the wall later!
Throughout this hallway our door frames are all white so I chose the ‘Clean’ frame to give a consistent pop against the beige wall color.
Each Mixtile comes with sticky tape pre-assembled to make installation super easy. It’s as simple as removing the backing and selecting where you want to place it on the wall. The tape is tacky enough that you can reposition with time when you add more tiles to the layout. Each Mixtile is lightweight, ensuring that it won’t damage your wall if you reposition them later.
For a small space like this hallway, I love how the tiles add color and life into the area. Small spaces like this are difficult to complete a gallery wall look without overwhelming the space but Mixtiles makes it easy and provides all the clean lines you need for a polished look.
