Rehabbing a 1930's bungalow. There is tile present on the walls of the dining room, which is the most central room of the first floor. The tile is in decent shape.
Creeping on my rehab budget and would prefer to not demo the tile. Any tips for maybe refreshing the look? (Epoxy paint, acrylic resin). Could this have an ill-effect for home buyers if kept in?

I think he can do wainscoting/ beadboard and just have it taller. We actually do a 2/3 wall height in many of our high end projects (see pic below). This would cover the taller tiled wall. For the shorter tiled wall, just add filler/plywood/whatever material to bring flush with tile and then sheetrock/beadboard over to desired height with trim.
This pic below was actually in an old primary of mine that I remodeled. Same issue- old tile that I didn't want to demo, so we glued on beadboard, hid the top gap with stop molding, and added baseboard on bottom. Clean look for a budget!
Today is the multiple designs of tiles are available. There are a lot of bathroom-tile-design-ideas in my mind. That has come up in 2018 like wallpaper images designs. TILES & MOSAICS is still considered to be the best and luxury item to have in the bathroom. Mosaic is a piece of art which is made from collecting the different small pieces of coloured glass, stone, or other materials. It is often used in interior decoration.
