wallpaper over tiles

rainbow456

Hi, In my kitchen I got strangely 3 walls with painted wallpaper and 1 wall with tiles, they were like this when i moved, I dont want to remove the tiles or paint them as so much hassle and will be selling on soon, so I wanted to know can you wallpaper over tiles and what is the best way to do it so the paper stays put? thanks in advance for any reply.

i'd like to know if this is possible too and if so how is it best done, if anyone knows.

I can't see that being possible. I would of thought it would be cheaper and easier to paint the tiles

Hi,

I would think you could, though you would need a good heavy paper.

Have a look at here at Contour Wallpaper, some nice designs, or you could use a 1200 lining paper, maybe need to do it twice to hide the grooves.

The good thing about the lining paper is that you can emulsion over it.

seems like a real bodge to me. i'd leave the tiles or tile transfer to give them a lift.

Just clean the tiles.

Wallpaper over tiles = wrong

Remove, paint or clean. Do not wallpaper over them.

Seriously,don't wallpaper over tiles.Not only will it be a pain in the backside but it's a proper bodge job and pretty pointless.

Clean them up and paint them or something,just don't wallpaper over them!
