I’m outside and on my phone, but it looks like your golden paint color may be theodd man out more than any of the others elements

Have it dyed.

Just saw the stairs. How much carpeting do you have?

Would it be better to do the dark wood throughout the bottom floor and just use brighter area rugs for softness? Instead of three different types of flooring?

Not a lot of carpet. It is in family room, dining room, and on stairs.

Can you run the dark wood floor in the foyer? I think everything will look better when you get rid of the tile.

Yes.

Edited to add: getting rid of wall to wall carpet in a dining room is a good thing in and of itself.

And when you decide to remodel down the road, pick a medium brown that won't show every speck of dust and dirt : ) .

What color is the paint on the walls? It looks greenish to me. Also, how many area rugs do you have, and what are you doing with them? I count two red ones and one black and white one, and they all look very oddly positioned.

If you can do the dark wood where the tile is, I think it would look much better. Maybe not an ideal complement, but at least not as discordant as having 3 different flooring types + and area rug all within view. The carpet is quite pretty, I think, so maybe when you're due for a paint job, you can find something that plays better with it.

That paint color is the worst offender to me.

Below is a very pretty view of your home only brought down by the wall color. It may clash with your kitchen, but I think from this perspective something like the BM Tapestry Beige in the photo below would look nice with your dark floors and blue-gray carpet.

Unfortunately, this is a pricey mistake. If you keep the carpet, then I would advise re-painting. My true preference (which is expensive) would be to go wood all the way and re-paint (that golden color seems a bit dated).

I agree. Wood throughout. We can repaint a little at a time.

Are there specific paint colors/color family you would suggest?

I think that you are getting frustrated over this but if you could visualize things from another angle then you probably will change your mind, I have seen beige and greys working well together even if one is warm and the other cold, take a look at this idea photo .

Your colours are all here!!!

It’s not beige. It’s a green/gold. Very unappealing, and dated. Paint.

You have a few options:

(1) Run the dark wood where the tile in the entry is. This will cause less of a clash, and be less visually disrupting than having three different floorings. You can then find a paint color that works with the gray carpet yet still feels neutral and works with your furnishings.

(2) Run the dark wood throughout the entire downstairs. This will create a cohesive look; you can use a throw carpet in the den area (not on the diagonal, though!). You can then find a paint color that works with the gray carpet on the stairs yet still feels neutral and works with your furnishings.

As far as recommended paint colors, that's difficult based on photos. The carpet you chose appears to have a very blue undertone. If you got rid of the carpet completely on the first floor, you might want to try SW Accessible Beige, it's a great color I often recommend to clients who want to go a little gray but still want a warm look. I don't know if it would play well with your carpet, though.

We are going to doing the entire bottom floor with the wood. We will use area rugs to soften and provide colort. The carpet will stay on the stairs for now. Eventually, we will paint. We will be more careful about finding a neutral paint color that will work. Thank you for all of your suggestions. This has been very helpful.
