While I cringed at the pink tile (I thought surely you were exaggerating), it looks to be in good shape. If this was my place I'd devote my money elsewhere and save up to someday tie in wood flooring in that area and refinish all the floors. Or get new tile if that's cost prohibitive. For now, I'd try to work with the tile.

Two colorways of the same rug:

What items do you already have for this space?

Thanks Kathryn. Looks better already! I have a pair of brown leather sofas or a grey sectional sofa. I think the brown sofas would work better in this room but I'd definitely need a large rug to break up all the brown. Any thoughts on the fireplace marble?!

This photo is dated and crazy, but it does make me think that you may be able to work with it until you have time/finances to take on a whole redo. If you paint the surround white and then do some really large and colorful art above it (much larger than pictured here - imagine the art sort of replacing the wallpaper), the whole fireplace area becomes the focus, rather than just the tile.

Awesome suggestions, thank you!

My cell phone painting skills are totally shoddy, but here's a vague idea of what I mean.

Honestly, you'll save lots of major hassles if you go ahead and address the floors now. After you move in it will be a dusty mess--everywhere. You'll deal with moving furniture, too. Use the same flooring throughout. Either wood or large neutral marble tile.

The house looks grand but the previous owner lacked vision and taste.

If you're on a tight budget, you probably can't afford to address the issue which would be to take out the marble and replace with wood and then refinish everything.

I would use other's cosmetic suggestions to minimize the pink marble until you have saved up sufficiently so that you can afford to fund without economic distress.

Taking off the pink marble from the fireplace would be a relatively inexpensive fix and you could select something timeless so it wouldn't be money that would have to be spent again.

Yes redoing floors after having moved in is a hassle but it's not the end of the world if one can't afford to do it prior to moving in.

If you do decide to wait, don't waste any money on rugs that try to tie the pink with your other furnishings unless you want to keep pink in your scheme. Pink is big in decorating now but not so much the pink of your floors.

Kathryn's idea for oversized oriental rugs is great. Use your brown sofas in the living room. For the foyer, look for a oversized rug with mainly dark brown or sage green but with just a teeny bit of pink/faded red. Since your areas are so large, you may want to check out estate sales, Craigslist, vintage rugs since most people can't accommodate such large rugs.

In the living room, get a lighter oriental rug in, perhaps, mainly green/brown/hint of pink. You'll want lighter here since you have the dark brown floor and sofas, so you need contrast.

This decision might depend on when/ if you plan to redo all the floors. If the answer is pretty soon down the line, let it be for now. It the rest of the wood floors are in good shape, I would personally leave them, but spend a bit of money right away before moving in if possible to replace the pink tile. Doing this sort of thing once you've moved in really is a pain, dust gets everywhere. (But not impossible - we did it). The foyer floor can be self-consciously different, as long as it relates in some way to the rest of the floors.

Thanks everyone. I think I might just bite the bullet, replace the marble tile with wood flooring similar to the other wood flooring and then refinish everything in a darker brown stain. If anyone has any thoughts/tips or tricks about doing this or suggestions about color, I'd love to hear them! Thank you.

You've got a huge area to be stained, so make sure to have your refinisher put test colors down in a few different areas for you to see.
