Hello forum community,

These tiles are old. It didn’t bother us at first, but now we would like to change them.
They are located right at the entrance area, in the hallway where the stairs branch off, and in the kitchen.

My wife would like to paint the tiles using Misspompadour paint.
So far, we have heard that tile paint often doesn’t live up to its promises. However, this usually referred to bathrooms or kitchen areas above the countertop where water or steam frequently comes into contact with the surface.

How does it perform in the area I described?
Wood frame armchair with white cover, panda plush toy on it; brown tiles and beige carpet in the room.

Interior: bright hallway with beige carpet runner on brown terracotta tiles.

Bright entrance area with brown tiles, carpet runner, and a wooden chair with white upholstery on the left.

Hallway entrance: coats on hooks, shoes, backpack, box, brown tiles, barefoot on the floor

Hallway with terracotta colored tiles, white door with glass panes, welcome mat ‘Hello’.

Kitchen: window, metal shelf, laundry basket with clothes, round carpet, tiled floor.

Small utility room: brown floor tiles, refrigerator on the right, shelves and laundry trolley with towels.

Can you install vinyl flooring? If so, you can also handle the leveling compound.

Click vinyl, yes; glue-down vinyl we don’t feel confident installing ourselves.
