Using lino as a kitchen backboard

Okay, it might sound a bit daft but has anybody used lino (not vinyl or vinyl tiles) on their kitchen walls instead of, say, kitchen tiles or coloured glass/acrylic sheets?

I've seen some awesome pictures of kitchens where people have created unusual splashbacks and backboards from all kinds of materials (including wooden flooring). I wondered if it would be possible to use lino and if so, what would be the best way of bonding it to a kitchen wall?

Alternatively if somebody has any good suggestions for vinyl I'd be glad to hear from you.

Thanks in advance.

    Traditional Lino as In Scottish type Linoleum makes a good fire-lighter.
    Not best placed near a cooker.

    I did just this before posting but was hoping for more replies specifically about linoleum thanks.

    Maybe you could fix it to the wall with the same spray adhesive used to secure it to a concrete floor?

    I would worry about its flammability in the kitchen. It would only take a little flame for a fire to spread across the whole kitchen wall, as it melts and drips flames around the surrounding areas. ;)
