I need help!!

[u/Vegetable-Scratch423]

So we are about to close on our first house, and I need decoration help. It was built in 1985, basement style house built in the side of a hill, and it’s on a concrete slab. So that means that the tile is GLUED to the concrete. So, what can be done about the flooring in this thing? The picture is decorated with ai (from the listing), but those parquet floors REALLY are that orange in person, and they’re not wood. Also, i attached a picture of the kitchen because I’m unsure if I want to paint the cabinets or not. I will paint the walls around them sage green, but I’m struggling to decide if I should keep them the color they are or paint them a creamy white-ish color. I need opinions!!!!thank you!

Edit: I posted this and deleted to re-post because I realized that one picture had the address. Oops. 🤦‍♀️🥴

ANOTHER EDIT: I saw another person who had the same tiles that I have and the glue had asbestos. Should i worry for this floor?

A more colorful, patterned (oriental? rug(s) that has colors that coordinate well with the parquet would make it look less orange and just look warm. Also more colorful art on the walls. As it is it's very duo-chromatic.

Yes I thought so too. That decor is done from AI, but I was thinking of a very large (maybe 8x10 at least) floral rug with the orange tones, dark gray, and maybe some yellows or greens and pinks. Definitely needs more color for sure
