I personally have no shelf paper in the cabinets and drawers.

I have in the past, and I always had trouble with it bubbling and crimping and not fitting. It sounds like from reading this, there are better options, but I am still not going to do it.  Mom now lives many states away, and she was a stickler for it.  Moving?  She will be right there to help with the shelf paper!

I use liner on the lower shelves but not upper ones. I don’t remember the name but sorta thin rubbery feel to it. Bought at Walmart.

I absolutely use it!  It protected my brand new cabinets.  I have always used it no matter what cabinets.  I recently moved and in my previous cabinet, also new, I used Elmer's stick glue (Extreme) to hold in place.  Just 3 dots of glue across the front of the cabinet. (each corner and one in the middle) When I moved I simply removed the glue with a straight edge blade. No damage. Nowadays, with the cost of things, I saved my shelf liner from the previous house and reused here in new place. I liike this one, Home Depot carries it.

In addition, I put it in the under sink cabinets, with a microfiber cloth or light colored towel to not only bring light into that area but be a little proactive in case of a leak.

What a wonderful idea!!!  I have extra from my bathrooms and just stored it.  Now I will take it out and USE it in my dresser drawers.  Thank you!!!!

Not exactly shelf "paper" but I did put plastic shelf liners in my kitchen when we moved in last year.  I feel it protects the wood and is easy to clean.

When I moved into my condo two yrs. ago I wiped down all the cabinets and put in new liners.  It makes them "new" to me, despite it being a used residence.

I used plastic liner that is smooth on one side and ribbed on the other.  I put the ribbed side up.  It is not adhesive.  So I just cut a piece to fit and put it on the shelf.  It stays put.  I like it because nothing slides around in there, and if a glass is not completely dry from the dishwasher, I am not worried about the water getting on the shelf and ruining it somehow.  I think I bought it at Target and/or Walmart.  I used a lot of it and it was not cheap in the long run, but I am glad I did it.

yes!  I like the way my cabinets and pot drawers look.  Plus it's easy to clean.  I have also "lined" my bathroom cabinets.  I picked up the larger rolls at WM & Lowe's.  I like it came in wider widths to accommodate my drawers.

I used the Contact non-adhesive with grip in a beige color like this:

I use this grippy liner in plain white on my shelves where I store glassware, more to protect the glass from chips and scratches than to protect the shelf. As another poster has shared, I also use it under my kitchen sink in case there are drips or leaks.

I use leftover wallpaper. 

I never had luck with the peel and stick.  It either wrinkled or there were big bubbles in it.

I used rolls of leftover wall paper that I really loved.  I havent thought about it in years but that wall paper is from a house I lived in in 1989.  Still love it and its super easy to clean.  I used double stick duct tape to get it to lay flat.  Its been in 3 houses now.
