Room with Honey Colored Parquet Floors

Room with Honey Colored Parquet Floors
I'm moving into a new apartment with honey-colored parquet floors and I don't know how to decorate to complement/minimize these floors. Traditionally, I have always had dark wood furniture. Can I somehow decorate to minimize the clash between the two wood tones? Do I need to re-think my furniture (ie: paint it all white or visit Ikea?).

What about wall colors? I've tried doing a "decor storyboard" but every color I combine with the honey looks bad. I'm also in the market for a new couch. I can't decide what color I should go for. I thought about white but it might be to hard to care for. I've always wanted a red couch, but my sister says the red will make the floor look more orange. Maybe something more neutral like sage or taupe. Can anyone advise?
