How can I update my low tiled ceiling without making it look lower?

My kitchen ceiling is in dire need of a makeover. The white tiles are just so drab and old fashioned. I've looked at stick on wood but it becomes very pricey! Any suggestions?

Paint them! White is a typical go to, but you might consider a very pale sky blue to give the illusion of more space. Test a spot and live with it a bit and see what you think.

Paint them with a good coverage paint like Kilz. It's commonly available at hardware stores and WalMart.

Maybe staple super heavy duty aluminum foil on ceiling!?
