In reply to Linda. I suppose you could if you wanted a slightly longer term solution! I don't think I'd recommend that in a rental, for the sake of your security deposit though.

Can you fill the grout lines with Dap or similar to completely get rid of the grout lines first?

In reply to Layla. That's interesting, I haven't thought about that. I really don't know, but I would say just try it and see! It's such an affordable option, and it's so easy to put up and take down that it would be worth a try! Come back and let me know if you do it, I'd love to hear.

Hi, maybe this is a stupid question but I have seen some people put contact paper on their kitchen walls. Would you recommend this? I thought about doing the same thing but I have some fear about mold growing on the wall under the contact paper because mold grows best in dark and damp places. I want to stick contact paper to the wall on some areas where the wall can get damp more easily (We’re not that good at keeping the kitchen dry..) so I thought that if you would have contact paper there, you could easily wipe any damp away. Any thoughts?? Thanks!

In reply to Mai Martinez. Hi Mai! No, I didn't have issues with pots, but I always used trivets.

Hi there I love your post,My family and I are currently renting and the tile is hideous so I said let me look up how to cover tile with contact paper. Have you had any issues with heat like hot pots which you normally be able to place on the surface? Thanks again for the post.

In reply to Christine Marlow. I've never tried that Christine! A couple things come to mind though, things might settle in between the cracks that could be hard to clean. Are you thinking of peel and stick flooring tiles, or the ones made for backsplashes? That would make a difference in my next thoughts. :)

Yes, I did use white a couple times (with the higher quality DC Fix brand), but sorry, I didn’t spill anything on it that would stain. 😀

I have spilled tomato sauce on the less expensive paper I have in my kitchen now (blue and white granite look) and it did come out after some rubbing with rubbing alcohol for a few minutes. There was a second sauce spot that I didn’t notice until the next day and it didn’t *totally* come out, but you still can’t see it unless it’s pointed out.

Even though the DC Fix brand has a lot more white, it also has a glossier surface, so I’d expect it to be harder to stain.

Really tempted to do a white and grey marble look but nervous about the contact paper getting stained. Did you experience any staining and/or ever use a lighter colour like white. I’m clumsy and worry I’ll spill cranberry juice everywhere and stain the contact paper. Thanks in advance!!
