You can definitely combine different timbers in your scheme. Furnishings will tie into your floors as a material rather than a tone, although the red tone in jarrah is quite dominant, it would be a mistake to ignore that. I would opt for warm pigments and colour notes, but not so light on the walls that you emphasize the red by contrast! Without knowing your stele in furnishings, interior directions, I am making suggestions on rooms I have seen or created that do work in this scenario. You will take from it what is relevant. I have seen a rich wine colour, which does look fantastic with timber furniture, it creates a moody ambience which is rich and has a sophistication to it. Lighting is key to creating a successful look with rich tones. This deep rich plum shade can be used for modern, traditional or specific interiors, like provincial or deco quite easily. Have you read pantones colour of 2015 is Marsala. Is a crimson shade, so you can be right on trend too. I suggest keeping your trims white to really crisp up the architectural details, ensure your ceiling are Matt white to absorb light and introduce texture to soften the look. Jarrah an look very formal, so if you have a glossy finish, bring in elements that counteract or contribute that same shine, as in metaliics or mirrors etc. Textiles in plush textures like tactile fibres layering pillows featuring cashmeres or velvets will add to the luxe and keep it comfortable too.

The next time I decorate by a colour of the year will be the first time. Don't hold your breath. I have nothing against this particular colour but it doesn't work with all the things I've collected over the years, and I am not about to discard carpets bought after hard bargaining with dubious merchants in Istanbul or Islamabad because they don't "go" with a paint colour that someone voted "colour of the year." In its place, I think the colour would be quite nice (better than this years choices, certainly). It's just that my place isn't the right place for it.

now that you mention it ace and miss, I do believe the horse is a little horrified at what has happened to those poor springbok. And now that I know that is a who and not a pattern on those pillows, that is all i shall ever notice when i look. My appearance is now roughly the same as the horse, I do not seem to be turquoise though.

I'd be inclined to move couch & armchair along wall with large recess if they will both fit. Mount TV onto flat wall opposite. You could have a low unit to house electronics, or use the one you have. Have purpose-built storage cabinet w/shelving built into smaller recess. Some of the shelving portion could be backed w/mirror to help throw light into room. Use the shelves for books, objects of art, photos etc., and the drawers or cabinet below to store things you don't want on show all the time. I also think a large area rug will ground the family room area from dining/kitchen. A neutral one perhaps or you can inject some colour. Large art pieces on wall as mentioned. A largish plant in a raised pot would add some greenery. You may find you need a floor lamp near couch & chair. Regarding the kitchen, I think you might be able to fit a narrow timber sideboard at end of island bench so you have some additional storage there. I say timber because it would warm up the coolness of kitchen. I agree undercabinet lights good idea for additional task lighting. You could either go mirror backsplash or some gorgeous tiles. As there are a several changes you want to achieve in this space, it might help to do it in stages. Storage seems to be a priority (fam rm & kitchen) and rearrangement of furniture & TV. I would tackle this first. Additional decor ie rug, art pieces on wall(s) could be addressed next. Then splashback and some additional lighting if budget allows.
