Tin Tiles
Ceiling tiles are a great solution for spaces with unfortunate but necessary drop ceilings. In basements, drop ceilings allow instant access to leaky pipes or damaged wiring. Sure, the grids can be torn out, and drywall can go up; however, that’s a major headache. And if you can’t do it yourself, it’s also a major cost. Simply swap out unsightly foam tiles for raised panel tiles. This is a great project for people with beginner DIY skills. Often, the only tool needed is a utility knife to cut the end pieces to size.

Beadboard
Beadboard is an affordable option for upgrading unsightly popcorn ceilings or drop ceilings. Look for beadboard planks – rather than 4x8 sheets – to simplify the installation process. Since this project involves cuts with a chopsaw, it’s ideal for homeowners with medium DIY skills.

Painted Stripes
Add graphic impact to boring, white drywall with a taped-off, painted pattern. In this neutral boy’s room, designer Brian Patrick Flynn revved up the energy with a few bursts of pea green and brown. To create perfect stripes, he measured, taped off 14-inch alternating stripes, and then painted them using a roller. This project costs less than $100 and only takes a weekend to complete.
