ᐅ The backsplash does not match the kitchen.

For now, we are moving back into a rental apartment and have bought a kitchen for that purpose.
The kitchen is made of wild plum wood veneer (Kernzwetschge NB) and magnolia white (high gloss).
For the tile backsplash, we were offered 2 panels in wild plum wood veneer and a glass panel in magnolia white (additional cost 400 Euros).
We would prefer a more affordable solution.

Our considerations so far are:
- A thin panel in wild plum wood imitation; but where to get one (so far, hardware stores seem to only have thicker panels, as far as I have seen) and how to attach it?

- A film in wild plum wood imitation; but we have not found any option yet and wonder if it is even possible to apply this as a covering over the tiles? Or would the tile pattern show through?

- A suggestion from acquaintances: parquet flooring / PVC / linoleum in wild plum wood imitation; but how to fix it in place?

Do you perhaps have other ideas? Or experience with any of the options mentioned above?
