Default Decorating a kitchen

So about 8m2 including 10% tile wasteage, so that's 32 quid's worth of
tiles, 2 tubs of BAL Greenstar (£19) and some grout (£20 at worst). A
decent can of Dulux Endurance is £20. So the tiling option is £51 more.
Take out the lining paper and adhesive if you do use those and you're left
with the question:

Are the admittedly very cheap white tiles above going to look better or
worse than painted lining paper or painted walls?

My lined and painted walls certainly look good to me. :-)

There is also the consideration that a quick repaint of the wall
can easily change the look of the kitchen if you want to refresh
it, whereas you are stuck with the tiles.

There are washable papers available with more acceptable designs,
but it is a very subjective area. You will probably get much
better choice if you have a local specialist shop, rather than
looking in the sheds.
