I think it's nice. What red floor and cabinet? I see wood. And what light fixture are you talking about?

The flooring leans more red in person, and the light fixtures above the table. The photos I put in the original post are doctored. These are not

I really like the first one you shared. Thank you!

Is there money in the budget to refinish the floors to get the red out? Can't tell if they are real hardwood, engineered or what. That would be a job that I'd do before moving in. A light natural color would offer contrast with your cabinets, and a nice backsplash with a light colored counter would help.

I see nothing bad with cabinets at all. Is there a blue in consideration, whether light, medium, or dark? .. what color inspires you/ yours?

I agree with @everdebz, I will recommend going for rugs. To have an idea read How to Choose an Area Rug - Tips for Every Situation

I would need to see your stuff how can we answer with no context

If not changing the countertops, work with them to determine flooring and paint colors. Looks like a greige might work with those. Light floors will be coastal and show less dust and grime. I think the cabinetry will still read red though, so a professional paint job on those may be needed.

Hi Stephanie congrats on your home. We have a "coastal vibe" really is open to interpretation. To some that means relaxed white furnishings and to others it means kitchy beach signs everywhere in bright colors .

The main things to ask is how much change are you willing to make? The flooring looks like manufactured hardwood. Or possibly even wood looking tile? Hard to tell by photos.

Questions

-Will you be pulling all of the existing flooring up?

- Are counter tops staying?

- Are you changing cabinets? New? Painting existing?

- Is adding Character in the budget? By this I mean adding Casing to windows, adding moulding for interest and character.

- Are any of the paint colors staying?

- What colors do you want to see used in the home?

Without knowing these answers I can jump in blindly and say I would replace all the flooring with a light wood. I would paint the cabinets. I would likely do blue but that scares people so at the very least I would do white perimeter and blue island and by blue I mean a lighter French blue. Before I started the paint however I would do some finish carpentry on the back side of the island and cover up the drywall with wood moulding to be painted out along with the cabinets. The hardware doesn't bother me. I would drop in pendent lighting over the island. I would bring in two barstools (3 is too crowded) in a coastal vibe. Ultimately I would change out the granite to a white quartz and bring in a light blue backsplash. In the kitchen eating area I would Look into extending the bottom cabinets/counter the length of the wall. This of course would be done before paint and counter so they look like they always existed there. This would bump up you kitchen storage greatly. But if that isnt in the budget then I would at the very least get a long sideboard/buffet to go there. Filling as much of the space as I could. For lighting I would think about a great beaded or Capiz shell chandelier to tie into your coastal feel. Id drop that in over a round table with some rattan chairs. On the window I would axe the wood blinds and I would bring in woven shades. I would dress them with simple white drapery panels on rings and raise the height to as close to the ceiling as possible. No tie backs. That looks dated. Moving into the family room the fireplace looks modern. I would clad it in wood moulding and add a mantel. I don't think the accent wall is necessary but it doesn't look bad. I would instead carry the moulding on the fireplace across that entire wall and keep that painted white. Paint on the other walls I would choose a light neutral color. Now that all your floors are wood I would bring in some great area rugs. Rugs in family room and entry for sure. In the entry I would paint the door a great color blue. I mean the interior side. It looks like you may have room under that window for a small entry table. Again blinds would go and I would do woven. Instead of a mirror in that bump in I would choose a great piece of art to go there. On the ledge above the door , if possible I would remove it all together. If it has to stay don't put anything on it. No reason to bring attention to a useless architectural feature. But if you happen to be able to remove it at the same time I would have them drywall that bump in where the mirror is.

I can say all that but without seeing your existing furnishings there are no specific recommendations I can make for chandeliers etc as they may not work well with what you have.

Current furniture and rugs. Table is rectangular. Haven’t moved in yet, so anything goes. Looking under $8k for flooring and paint. BM Natural Linen + Creamy White is what we had in our previous home for the main floor, so my furniture is kind of centered around that. We are military, so we tend to keep furniture until it’s completely unusable 😅

• All existing flooring will go as it was terribly installed.
• Countertops will need to stay as is for now
• Cabinets will need to stay as is for now.
• Adding character not in the current budget for this project
• All paint colors can go
• Color pallets we had before, but willing to think outside that box as the colors may not work with the space
  
  

Current flooring is laminate. Not a big fan. Currently looking at this flooring - Fair Isle Strand Bamboo.

I`d add a good bamboo flooring for that interior. My choice would be a Rustic Mist Xtra Wide $5.30per sq ft (Installation: Float or Glue Down) from Ambient® storage. Always great quality of products. And one of the most important for me, its list of variations of diference colors.
