How To Install Faux Ceiling Tiles To A Kitchen Island Tools Used:īefore I began to apply my faux tin ceiling tiles, I measured the areas that I wanted to cover with this faux tin ceiling tiles. I’ll add the link in the “tools used section of this post” and again at the end in a shopping guide. I chose white, but they also have these in a faux metal finish. Oh and BTW these faux ceiling tiles come in many different designs. This was super easy to do, but I did mess up and I’ll explain how. It looks just like those real old ceiling tiles, except it’s plastic, which is much easier to work with. After searching the isles of our home improvement center I came across this stuff.

Since we’re not planning on staying here for many more years, anything that I do to decorate must be in our budget. And the cost of using that wood that changed my mind.
