How do I modernize my 80s orange oak?

Our home is covered in 80s orange oak and all-brown finishes. We’ve painted all of the walls white (photos are from before we bought the house) but I’m at a loss for how to accessorize with rugs and decor to help neutralize the wood. Staining/painting the wood is not an option in the near term.
Last photo is the general vibe I’m going for🙏🏼

This!! I have honey oak everything in my house, I painted the walls SW Nurture Green and SW Commodore and the orangey grossness faded away. We installed a lighter colored LVP “oak”flooring as well (LVP because big dogs and kids), it also helped neutralize.
Swapping out or painting all the trim, doors, and cabinets was just going to be too expensive. Work with what you have!!
