Improving appearance of ceiling tiles
+7
I have a 20’x10’ suspendedceiling in the lanai of our manufactured home. Some tiles have gaps or chips. Is there an inexpensive way to make them look fresher and updated other than paint?
what about a stencil to make them look like tin ceiling tiles
Here is a good link on this:

Take the tiles down. Spray paint the metal a dark color to make it "disappear". Cover the tiles in fabric and put the tiles back in place. Tape the fabric to the tiles so they won't slip. I did this in my basement bedroom and it looks amazing. Cheap fix if you already have fabric, curtains, sheets whatever.
I had a leak and it ruined several of my kitchen tiles. I was not ready for the expense of replacing them all so I tried pre pasted wall paper. Worked like a charm. They stuck so well and you can leave a 1/2 inch or an inch all the way around past the supports like a border. I just did the bad ones by the leak and papered the stained ones. I took good ones from the center of the room and traded them for the ones in the corner that were stained and ruined. I ended up with the patterned ones in the center of the room and the plain ones all around the edges. Looked terrific and all you need to do is measure, cut and stick them on. They adhered very well to the ceiling tile.
Sorry Folks. I did this to make the room look better when I put the house on the market. I guess it worked because the house sold in a week which is super quick in my area.
I had the kind of ceiling they call a "hung ceiling" with tiles in my laundry room. I took paintable wallpaper and wallpapered each 2' x 4' tile and then painted them with semigloss to reflect the light. As you can see by the green painters tape, I am preparing to paint the wood moldings.
