Hi Maria, we love the wood but it is a little overwhelming in that space with the timber floor. A liming white is a great idea as mentioned by a few people here. This will let you have the best of both worlds, a lighter, brighter finish while still allowing the wood grain to show through. You could try Feast Watson Liming White Floor Finish (yes, it's not a floor but it has the size of a floor!) and build up the number of coats until you are happy with the amount of timber grain showing through. You'll probably need to give it a light sand first as it's most likely already got some type of coating on it. The other option would be to leave the walls as is and consider a large, light neutral coloured rug as pompom suggested on the timber floor and perhaps a good sized piece of art on the wall or white wall shelving instead of the dark side unit you have to reduce the amount of timber in the room.

Judging colours from photos is fraught with danger as they appear different on different devices. And choosing whites is not easy. However I’ve just gone through white selections in my renovation and have warm greys in the house. I narrowed down to Casper White Quarter or Lexicon Quarter. Both will work with warm grey. Sounds like Casper for you as you already like it!

Yeah I know what you mean... I have to paint it anyway as it needs repainting and the colour that is there has a pink undertone which really bothers me. not a pink person at all... So you would suggest just staying with an antique white or something and just adding all my colour with accessories?

Disclaimer -- I hate grey with a vengance . So i may be biased . But if you scroll up , and get the 'luxury planking' at the top of your screen , and the Perfect Boredom at the bottom ( the heading thing cuts through the middle ) it looks horrible IMO . In the middle photo , the darker timber and the white actually makes the grey almost acceptible as a base , but look at the other pics , and even the floor is looking as grey as a corpse with all the colour washed out .
