Definitely. I've got orange-y hardwood floors (old red oak with the
original varnish) so I picked warm colors.

The previous owner, well, he had pink carpet (which we've since ripped
out) and very pale blue (almost white) walls. And a fireplace mantel
stained medium oak (like all those kitchen cabinets from the early
1990s). We still have the mantel.

Oh. And he had cottage-cheese textured the cove ceiling in the
living room, then sprayed glitter on top. That was the first thing
to go. Thankfully it had never been painted, so a sprayer full of
warm water took it right off.
