If you're looking for fun decorative pieces for your wall, here's everything you need to know about Mixtiles!

I'm waiting on my order, but here are my sister-in-law's photos she printed with Mixtiles. Don't they look awesome?

Basic Information About Mixtiles

Mixtiles cost $11 per tile, so if you were getting a box of 5 Mixtiles, it would cost you $55. Their tiles are 20x20 cm and 2 cm thick (which, in inches, is 8x8 and just under an inch thick).

They often have deals for ordering 12+ tiles, such as their current deal to get 12 tiles for $99 or 16 tiles for $125.

It will take about a week to get to you (though shipping to countries outside the US might take a bit longer). But they have a pretty quick turnaround and it's free worldwide shipping, which is amazing!

How do you order Mixtiles photo tiles?

Ordering a tile through Mixtiles is easy. They recommend your photo resolution be at least 499x499 pixels. You can even use photos from social media (like Facebook or Instagram) since those meet the minimum resolution required.

When you hit their landing page, push "Let's Go" and you'll be asked if you're making your tile for yourself or for a friend. If it's a gift, you can upload the photos yourself, or you can just send them a gift card.

If you're ordering some Mixtiles for yourself, you'll be asked to enter some information (like your email) and then you can get started.

You can then choose to upload photos from your computer (or whatever device you're using), Instagram, or Facebook.

How do you hang your Mixtiles?

When you get your Mixtiles, you'll see some sticky strips on the back. Just peel off the protective paper and stick your tile to the wall. They will hang to the majority of walls, but if you find that the strips aren't sticking to your walls, let them know and you can get a refund.

Another cool feature of Mixtiles is that you can move them around. If you decide you want your photo tiles in a different spot, just pop the tile off the wall and stick them in the new spot. It won't damage your wall, and you don't even need a new sticky strip.

You can move them around a few dozen times before you have to worry about the strips losing their stickiness!

I love that I can change my tiles around and try different arrangements super easily. I love the idea of ordering a few every few months, and adding to my family gallery wall!

But even if you don't move them around, Mixtiles are a great way to make a quick and easy gallery wall - without nails, hammers, or expensive frames.

Ordering Mixtiles Photo Tiles

Ordering for Mixtiles is super straightforward. You add your photos and then adjust them within the mock frame. You can zoom in and recompose them so they look the way you'd like.

Mixtiles Frames

There are 5 different options for Mixtiles frames. You can choose between:

• a black frame with a white mat (not really a mat, just an unprinted white border)
• a black frame with no mat border
• a white frame with a white mat
• a white frame without a mat
• or just a tile (so no frame or border)

After you're happy with the tiles you have and the frames you've picked, it's time to checkout. You have to have the same frame for all of the tiles in your order, but you could easily do a second order with a different frame, since shipping is free.

Once you've completed your order, you'll get an email confirmation that contains your receipt and an attachment with the photos & frame combinations you've picked. So it's basically like a proof of what you'll be getting.

ORDERING FAQ

Do Mixtiles only have one size?

They are definitely well known for their 8x8 wall tiles, but they actually have a few more sizes for US customers!

• 8" x 8"
• 8" x 11" vertical (or 11x8, horizontal)
• 12" x 12"
• 12" x 16"

However, this option is hidden on their website, since most people want their flagship 8x8 tiles.
