After I shared Kim and Colin’s makeover last week, I received a few disappointed comments that I didn’t properly address the grey tile in their kitchen and hallway. So I’m tackling it here.
The common decorating mistake that a lot of people make is adding more grey to grey floors and I’m here to tell you it’s way easier than that to bring those floors to life!
And replacing the flooring in this home to create one continuous look through the main floor of the house would easily be $20,000 or more because it would ALL have to be replaced if you didn’t have more of the same wood flooring. And most of the time, that’s not where we need to start.
The truth is, gray isn’t the problem.
What’s missing is colour.
In this video, I’m showing you exactly how I would choose the right paint colour for their hallway using my Killam Colour system large colour samples, along with two simple ways to transform the space so the gray tile fades into the background instead of being the thing you notice first.
Because when you get the colour right, everything else starts to fall into place.
Watch this video and then let me know in the comments which you would prefer? New floors everywhere or a decorated and painted entry hall!
And if you want to learn how to do this yourself—how to actually see colour and make these decisions with confidence—my True Colour Expert Training is coming up in Chicago, May 14 & 15, 2026!
This is where I teach the system behind everything you’re seeing here. Because once you get this, you’ll never be guessing again. Register here.
