Sometimes you may be faced with a room with a color of wall tile you just can’t accept, but the wall is sound and the installation is good. It might be a kitchen wall or a bathroom wall; either way, it’s not acceptable. Now you can rip it off the walls and start from scratch with new tiles, or take a more budget-minded approach and paint the tile. That’s assuming it’s nowhere near a bathtub or shower surround or behind the kitchen sink, where it’s in direct contact with water.
If that’s the case, you can paint the tile and save money and omit the hassle of removing the tile. This is a no-brainer for a DIY project, because painting is one of the most popular improvements with a low investment and high payback to achieve new wall tiles in the color you want. The key to professional looking results is properly preparing the wall tiles before painting them.
