Treatments For Tin Ceilings & Tile Walls

Tin ceilings and tile walls set the tone for a room's ambience.


Tin ceiling tiles and wall tiles provide strong design elements in the look of a home's decor. You can learn how you can use and customize tin ceiling tiles and wall tiles to add elegance and to fit a specific space and decor style of your home.








Antiquing Tin Ceilings


Paint the tin ceiling tiles with a bonding primer and allow to dry. Paint the tin tiles in two or three tones of the same color. Paint the dry tiles in a cream color, allowing some of the existing color to show through. Cover approximately 80 percent of each tile.


Copper Tin Ceilings


Use paint to replicate the look of copper tin ceiling tiles. Use dark brown paint and coat the tile. Cover with a copper metallic paint, using a small foam roller.


Wall Tile Murals


Wall tiles are more than protective back splashes. Customize wall tiles to depict anything from landscape scenes to replicas of original masterpieces. Look for companies specializing in wall tile murals you can tailor to fit a specific area.


Unusual Wall Tile Designs


Lay traditional subway tile in a vertical pattern or combine two tones of the same color to create a harlequin pattern. Another option is to outline architectural detail in a bold colored tile.
