Can I see some pictures of your living rooms please?
I'm getting bored of ours now, we just painted the walls when we moved in and im getting rather bored of them now!
Also what colour is your woodwork, i.e skirting boards, doors, door frames and window sills?
All mine are in a horrible orangey colour wood (Varnished) but they look awful, and it doesnt help having different coloured wooden floor and fire place, so i'm tempted to paint them all white?

Ceilings painted in brilliant white silk, walls slightly off white, the lightest hint of brown in them. When I say slightest its barely noticeable until dusk, otherwise looks all white pretty much. Didn't plan it that way but looks good. Chimney breast is chocolate brown colour.
Skirtings, doors and architraves all varnished in a warm walnut. Feature window glossed white.
As I'm in the top of a converted house (top floor flat) I've also got a few rafters coming through, they had previously been heavily glossed so rather than strip right back ended up also doing those chocolate brown.
Overall looks pretty classy but practical IMO. Works for the age of the house.
No pictures to hand though

This isn't my living room but it'll be the same idea downstairs; Gloss white architrave and skirting and 'white oak' doors. I got carried away with glossing though; 2 coats of Primer, 2 coats of undercoat and 4 coats of gloss.
I have Oak floor to go in downstairs and it'll mostly be brilliant white walls and brilliant white ceiling and one feature wall in each room

Noooo, don't paint wood! Just get them back to wood an use a good stain/varnish.
Dark oak looks good

Light oak is nice but most mouldings will be pine!
Ours are all white, if were to change would go for oak.
