Renovating your home can be expensive and messy, particularly if you’ve never been a hands on kind of person.
But Kmart’s revolutionary adhesive rolls in the home decor space have been making waves online because they looks like timber flooring and marble tiles.

Clever DIY’ers have been using the adhesive to redesign their kitchen counter, bathroom vanity, coffee table, cupboards and doors – making a statement without breaking the bank.
Others have used the vinyl sheets to create entire feature walls – with one woman, Tash, using the light wood grain and marble print vinyl sheets to makeover her bedroom.
‘It was so easy to apply and best of all it cost $25,’ Tash, 43, told FEMAIL.
The roll comes in three different colours – a dark wood grain, light wood and marble – and costs just $3 for two metres.

But others said the low price – and relative time it takes for it to chip away – is worth it

‘Just use baby oil to get the stickiness off once you remove it,’ one person suggested.
