Can I use contact paper to cover a tiled bathroom?
And yes, I have permission to up-date but I don't want to put to much money in a place that I'm only renting.
PS. The big mirror has to go too. Any ideas?

Go to Walmart ad find the area that has the shelf liner and contact paper, find the color u like and redo the pick tile and counter top. Also, take the mops and brooms out of their, add pictures on the wall and a flower.
They sell peel and stick temporary wall paper in walmart, Home Depot etc that is renter friendly and leaves to tacky behind when taken off and add wood trim around the mirror. Here’s a few photos below📌🌸
After n before we contact papered...
I would frame the mirror, using corner blocks so that you only need to make straight cuts on the decorative molding. Lowes and home depot will cut the molding for you if you bring the measurements. You could buy a Giani kit and paint the tiles or Rustoleum also makes a kit. If you prefer you can paint the entire sink area in an epoxy paint. BUT I think the retro pink tiles looks great. I would paint the walls in a coordinating color and decorate around it, but frame the mirror, I would put baskets under the sink or some kind of shelving for storage. You could even go to garage sales and pick up a small dresser to put under the sink. Anyway have fun with it and Incorporate the pink.
H Jan, you sure can, there are a wide variety of them to choose from as well. This demo is on countertops but you can follow instructions same for the walls.

Hello, so i have been redoing a whole old house and learning as i go, first dry the tile, second only peel the contact off as you go, not the whole piece, then you can decorate, like pin stripe, spritz with shiny spray paint, paint it over with polyacrylic at least 3 coats, I'd go 4, or 5 coats, make sure each layer dries and wipe with windex rag right before applying next layer. At the end lightly sand with 2000 sand paper, just to make it smooth, and shiny, then buy stickers and vanity lights and keep the mirror, otherwise no telling what's behind it!!
Peel and stick tiles might be a good option around the sink, remove them when you move out. You could make a frame around the big mirror and stick it on, they have styrofoam trim (paint-able) that is very light at Lowes and Home Depot.
Why not use Tile Covers they are great, lots to choose from...
Yes if you cut it to fit each tile! or otherwise use Tile Covers or /transfers.
Hi Janice: I totally agree with William. Get the agreement signed by both of you and dated. If you paint anything, you may be required to return the area to it's original state. Since you're just renting, I'd learn to live with it - and the mirror. You can add removable stencils to the tiles and mirror, but I wouldn't do anything permanent, even if you do have an agreement. Also, decluttering will help, and you can add some pretty accessories to compliment the pink.
