Kim and Colin had already completed a lovely kitchen renovation, but the tile stopping the flow between their kitchen, hallway, and living spaces still bothered them. Like so many homeowners, they assumed the next step was a bigger renovation—removing the tile and replacing the flooring throughout the main level.
But that kind of update would have easily climbed into the $15,000–$20,000 range.
Instead, we focused on what was already there and transformed their living and dining room in one day with decorating—reworking the layout, layering in colour, and making a few key styling decisions that completely changed how the space feels.
Watch the makeover to see just how far decorating can go before you renovate.

Decorate or Renovate? The Living Room Won; The Kitchen Didn’t Change
Great job Maria, looks great! But I have a question: why didn’t you add a rug in the hallway or add art to the hallway to continue connecting the colors together?
Yes! That’s exactly where I would go next 😊
These are one-day makeovers, so the living and dining room were the priority for the biggest impact first.
In part two next week, I’m showing the colour I would choose for the adjoining spaces and I’ll also show the additional tweaks I would make so everyone can see how I’d complete the flow.
Loved the small, perfect changes. I’m getting ready to renovate/decorate so it was truly helpful.
