I'm decorating my living/ dining room space on a budget.
I got the buffet and table for free but they needed some TLC. I have the buffet sanded to its natural pine (I still need to reattach the drawer fronts) and the table is currently getting back to its natural oak, but I don't know what colour to restain them!
The chairs have a walnut stain and the wood floors are also on the darker side, but I don't want it to be too matchy machy like my grandma's formal dining room. The colour scheme is inspired by the paintings in the last pic; greens, terracotta, subtle blues, and cream. The wing back chairs are being reupholstered in a dark green. still on the hunt for a coffee table.
Do I lean in to the dark wood coordination or add a second lighter wood tone that speaks to the leather couch so it is not too matchy matchy? Help me decide please!

I like it as is, but also a slightly darker stain with an orangy/reddish hue may look good too! Wouldn’t go very dark though. Also where are those chairs from? I like them.
