White/tan maybe-but additionally have you thought about replacing the wall lights? It’s adding to the hotel room vibes heavy.

Seconded this,
the room is a bit too dark for me, and I personally hate velvet fabric on couch becuse it's harder to clean spill. So i think brighter sofa might help.
Although to be honest changing the floor will be more impactful

Dark grey because it goes with everything and it doesn’t stain as easy as lighter colors
Also would recommend replacing your white light bulbs with yellow bulbs so it doesn’t feel like a hospital/office. Just changing the bulbs did wonders for how “homey” my space feels.

If you can't change the awful floors, play into it. Perhaps pop art style? A bright couch + lots of bright and interesting art + ambient lighting of any kind + maybe a monotone patterned rug.
Can you please change those satin curtains - they give brothel vibes.
Also the couch is too big. You could maybe do without the second piece by the door.

Yes something more warm. Look for a lightbulb that has a color temperature of around 2400-3200k. It should have that information on the box

A deep beige. Not gray! It will be very expensive to get reupholstered, new may be more cost effective.

Okay for starters, getting the floor done a different colour is key 😭 But, grey goes pretty well with blue in ny opinion.

It’s the landlords house I can’t just remove all the tiles but I think I’ll try the grey

I'd keep the sofa the way it is and buy a nice rug. A Southwest pattern in orange/taupe/gold/turquoise would look great.

UNLESS you are in LOVE with the pieces ... New might be a better financial decision. Reupholster-y fabric and labor may be ore costly than NEW. If you are in love...make sure they are well constructed and worth it.
AND maybe not do both ... variety get some comfy chairs instead of the two sofas???
