Over 18 months since we launched our first collection of peel & stick floor tiles with FloorPops. I remember that day well. We sold out within the hour, and since then, there have been multiple restocks so everyone can get their hands on some affordable, DIY-friendly checkered flooring! Well, we have good news! Not only can you purchase the original Bonneville collection, but we’ve added two new checkered colorways in the FloorPops you know and love. One of which we installed in the girl’s Jack and Jill bathroom. Here’s how it went!
Say hello to the new Bonneville Beige peel & stick tiles! Inspired by the original gray and white Bonneville tiles, Bonneville Beige is a classic marble check in a soft, neutral palette. I’m in love with how they transformed the girls’ bathroom.
When designing all three of our FloorPops collections, it was really important to me to check all the boxes of budget-friendly and DIY-friendly while still fitting in the CLJ aesthetic. I’m so so proud of where we landed.
The second addition to our collection is the Lawrence — a black and white check with a faux wood grain. Announcement! Checkered flooring isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
FloorPops has a really thorough FAQ section on their website to refer to, but here are some questions we know the answers to!
This peel-and-stick tile is easy to install (no tools required), and they’re so thick and durable! Unlike the stickers we used for the girls’ bathroom floor that peeled up so easily, these are thick, rigid vinyl meant to be a permanent, budget flooring solution. Seriously, the quality is unreal, plus they’re water-resistant and wipeable. Perfect for the girls’ bathroom and our home gym, but would also be great in a kitchen, dining room, laundry room, mudroom, hallway… The possibilities are endless. For an installation guide, you can see how we installed them in the home gym, but I would also recommend you look at the FloorPops installation guide for step-by-step instructions, as well as a video!
To be durable enough to withstand foot traffic, our FloorPops were designed with a strong adhesive. This means that they are NOT removable in the sense that some peel-and-stick wallpaper or wall decals are removable/temporary. They can, however, be removed should you choose to. We recommend using a scraper or an object with a thin, flat surface to wiggle under a seam and pop a corner of the tile up. From there, you should be able to peel off the tile with your hands. Please note that the adhesive is strong and is likely to lift paint. They may possibly leave residue behind as well! Nothing a little goo gone can’t fix.
These are recommended for interior use only!
Absolutely yes! They are water-resistant and wipeable, and obviously, we’re putting them to good use in the girls’ bathroom.
If your tile has an uneven texture, I would say they’re not going to stick as well. As far as dealing with the grout, FloorPops recommends filling all grout lines with thin-set tile mortar before installing it to create a flat, smooth surface. Or you could do what we did and offset the direction they were installed.

Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

Do you happen to know if the grey and white marble ones are discontinued? I can’t find them anywhere?
We’ve heard that more are on the way hopefully in the next few weeks!
When will these be back in stock?
We’ve heard in the next few weeks they should have Bonneville Gray back in stock!
Hi, I purchased a couple boxes of black and white tile, 12x 12, from Home depot, to ensure color would work, before purchasing balance. I received the boxes, indicates 5 white, 5 black tile. Only black tile were in both boxes.
That’s odd. All 10 were black? Please return them to Home Depot so they can trace the batch that’s affected and ensure it’s corrected.
Would it look strange to apply them over tile, adjacent to wood floors? My concern is that it would be a super thick transition. What transition piece to you advise using?
I think that could look great! I mentioned above that I’d choose a light marble transition piece or something that matches the material of the adjacent flooring.
Hi! Can these be installed over wood flooring?
I’m super interested in the beige but I’ve seen reviews that they have a purple/blue undertone and that won’t really work where I would like them. Any info on the undertone would be helpful to eliminate having to return. Thanks!
Hi, these are beautiful. Is there any grouting involved or do you just buy them right up to each other?
Hi Laura! Floorpops are not compatible with grout, so they make for an easy installation.
Can you explain what you mean by “offset” (instead of filling in the grout)?
So when we’re laying it over tile, we rotate the FloorPops 90 degrees and put one corner directly over the middle of the tile underneath so it’s not the same direction pattern as the tile. That helps create a more even look.
