When installing cabinets with an attractive wood grain on shelves and the bottoms of drawers, we have used clear vinyl. Of course, there are many patterns as well. This is the least expensive option I have identified to meet a need for attractive, waterproof cushioning under glasses, plates, pots, etc. My last purchase was at $6 CAD per sq meter (make that about 9 sq ft for $6), Fabric stores and old fashioned hardware stores sell this on the roll as picnic table covers. The only drawback is that fit must be precise to avoid buckling as there is no adhesive. An adhesive tape can help there, but don't count on all of your cabinets and drawers being square...90 degree corners seem to be rare!
