You have gorgeous spaces and light!

I think I'd hire a decorator to get a plan for colors, upholstery, rugs, textures, various other elements like furniture placement and groupings.

Then, I'd have a vision to execute on my own timeline and budget.

I think it would be worth the investment.

Good luck!

I totally agree with ida! Not sure what color mine is, but definitely a warm tan, not taupe or any sort of gray. You do want other things to be your focal points, not your wall color. You can get as bold as you want with pillows and accessories, and you already have a good start with your rug, which is beautiful. Very pretty kitchen also~keep it tan.

What a beautiful home! You'd be surprised at how many colors work with pale yellow/gold. If you're really overwhelmed, consider getting a designer. Get photographs together of rooms/colors/"looks" you like so he/she has a starting point. I have a very small house, but have paid a designer to guide/confirm things for me a couple of times. She was able to spend an hour or two with me, looking over my inspiration pics and helped me make color and furniture placement decisions. If you decide to make paint choices yourself, I strongly recommend you by sample sizes. Paint large poster size boards and look at them at different times of the day. Look forward to seeing the outcome!

There are decorators and then there are color consultants. If you only want color selection help, you might need only a color consultant, and that will probably cost less. If you need help finding and selecting furnishings, then a decorator may be what you want. Some Sherwin Williams stores have color consultants who will come to your house and help you select colors in your ropms and lighting for a modest fee, part of which can be applied to a paint purchase. IIRC, the fee is something like $100-150. We talked to one in the store, but did not use her.

On my laptop screen, the wall color does look a bit more yellow than I would prefer. I am looking at the tile, granite and the rug and would like a color closer to the light taupe that is the outline of the circles near the bottom right. I would look at Accessible Beige, Agreeable Gray and the colors in those families.

I like the warmth the color you have there now brings to the room. If it were me, I'd probably leave it and live with it for a while before changing it.

Oh man look at all those windows and sunshine. Are you ever lucky (or not). Sunlight can really play havoc with paint colour choices. I would take some time and really follow the sun and study how it lands on the walls in the various rooms. Look at the difference in the current colour between where the sun is hitting and the corners in shadow. What happens to the colour - does it muddy, does it just tone down. What are your seasons like - lots of snow and winter sun or more rainy and grey, east coast or west coast. Those factors will affect how the light affects the colours as well.

I painted our living room and dining room peach (this was in the 80's) in the fall and when the spring sun hit the walls the corners became pink. I had to repaint.

Every color (OK, just to be safe-almost every color) can look amazing when decorated around and styled. I had so many yellow walls in my current place when I moved in-I made it work everywhere (but the master bedroom when the light was different and that very same yellow looked too dark, and drove me crazy until I repainted it).

I suggest you live with it a little bit and then decide whether to repaint, where, and to what.

I don't know where you live but here we were quoted 5000 paint job for the room with ceilings like yours, and it was several years ago. And you really need a pro for the height like this...ladders and all.

You can pick a bit different shade for the kitchen if it bugs you already-it will still flow nicely even if it's different and more neutral..just be mindful of the undertone of that neutral so it doesn't clash with gold everywhere else.

I have paler yellow with deeper yellow accents in living and dining, and more calmer and neutral tan in the family room-they work together quite well. The plan is partially open, so all colors are seen at once.

These windows are really really cool. Do you plan to leave the build in next to them? I think it interferes a bit with their awesomeness so to say.

I see nothing wrong with the colors you have now, they certainly are neutral enough to handle any colors you may wish to use as decor. If your rug is your inspiration piece, then perhaps you could choose some tones in it that you would like as pillows or art. Take a picture of the rug and then a close up of the colors and take it with you in the event you see something you can't live without lol. I find art and rugs to be a good starting point for inspiration. I let the paint be the final decision and you can do that since you have such a nice background tone in the house already. You have a lovely home, love the shape of the kitchen.

I would unify the overall look of the rooms by painting the stained trim. Most of the trim seems to be white and then you have some random light stained windows ... it looks like they started painting it all white and gave up after 80% was completed.

It will also be much easier to pick a color that goes with just white and not having to worry that the color also looks good next to the stained trim.
