How to Paint Your Outdated Tile Floor
Hey there Gerrie!
If you don't want to stencil or replace it, maybe using grout refresh/grout paint to change the grout color may be an option. Sometimes a small change like freshening up the grout with a lighter color can make the tile look totally different! Here is an example and the tile looks a lot like yours before!

I have also seen people paint it a solid color and it look really great as well!

Just some thoughts! Hope you figure it out!
I agree with changing the grout. I think the dark grout is what really makes this look dated. I would be tempted to remove the old grout and redo it.
You can but epoxy tile paint kits or epoxy based paint.

i would stencil over them ..Home depot provides all the kits
No need to remove the grout. Mapei makes Grout Refresh in 30+ colors. It is easy to do, just time consuming. It has a sealer in it now so it will not stain. I love this stuff. And it may make all the difference instead of painting and sealing a floor which is a lot of work
You could also stencil it, too!
