I recently had to rent a "new" flat. The kitchens' wall tiles were somehow too awesome for me. As I had limited budget to renovate the entire hut, my choice came to... tadaaa: gaffer tape.

All you need is 10 meters of tape per square meter of wall to decorate. I needed slightly more than 2 roles à 50 meters. But I must mention that I had some meters to test.

Step 1: The Blank Wall

I decided to make some effort, so I removed the power outlet enclosures.

I really don't like the color of the tiles...

Step 2: What You Need:

Gaffer tape in the colors of your choice (and availability). I had black and silver.
Calculate your need - remember that you need 10 m per sq.m wall (assuming that the tape is 5 cm wide).
As mentioned I used 2 roles à 50 m. Look out and you will get it for 10€ per role.

A cutter knife might be helpful.

At certain points a plastic (!) spatula helps.
