The tile is so neutral, you can go with almost any color. The lighter colors will seem brighter in the dark space. I would find an inspiration piece and go with the colors from that...it can be an outfit you like, a plate, a pic of a room you like, a poster you'd like to hang on the wall...anything. So long as it's something you'd like to look at. Then go with it. My laundry room was inspired by a kitchen I saw on a house tour where the owner had white cabinetry and painted the little bit of wall space in heather. It was luscious, and i loved it so much that the color stuck with me....so now I have a heather colored laundry room...crazy to some, but I love it. And what the heck....it's a laundry room...why not liven it up.

I agree, the table doesn't go with the cool tones in the living room, and also lacks any warmth or feeling of comfort that should be associated with a place where you share meals with family and friends. When you talk about wall plaques or matching art sets it gives me a very impersonal feeling, as though the objects in your home are chosen more for looks rather than because they're something you love. For your home to reflect you, items used for decoration should speak to you and give the room warmth and personality. It's not a show room, although it should be beautiful, which your space easily could be with what you've done so far. You might consider a floor lamp behind your couch which reaches over far enough so that you'll have enough light to read, use a laptop, etc. Are you planning on drapery panels in your living room or will you leave the windows bare? In that case, colorful pillows in warm tones will be needed. A room with only cool tones or only warm tones lacks depth and interest. You can also keep that in mind when you're choosing art for the living and dining areas.

Thanks for those layout options artistsharonva. I am going with option 1. Or perhaps option 2 if I can’t find a large enough rug. Good advice! :)

Definitely a light rug with texture would work. Because of the metal pieces, I would suggest lamps that are organic like beautiful pottery in gourd shapes to soften the look of the room which I think is delightful but you asked for opinions to make a change. The end tables are nice but I think a table that is a tad bit lighter in wood tone and maybe a bit more bulk would look better with the larger lamps.
