A Soweto woman who shares home decor and lifestyle content gave her followers a proper plug on 19 March 2026. Precious shared a video of herself on her bedroom floor, peeling the backing off stick-on tiles and pressing them one by one onto the clean concrete. The result was a beautiful beige wooden-look floor that blended perfectly with the rest of her room.

What makes these tiles such a popular find is how simple and quick the whole process is. There is no cement to mix, no grout to apply and no measuring and waiting for everything to set. You peel off the sticker, press the tile down and move on to the next one. A pack of 36 tiles costs R350, and Precious also let viewers know that if they want her to get and deliver the tiles for them, she charges a R200 runner fee on top of that.
