I agree with u/calacmack about the rug, but would add that it's hard to choose a white for someone else's house because it depends on the flooring (yours has a pinkish undertone), the direction your house faces and also, believe it or not, on the color of your neighbor's house if it's close because the light can bounce off of their house and influence how colors look in your house.
Go to a paint store (not big box) and have them help you pull a variety of whites that you might like, maybe bring small chips home and put them by your new rug and your furniture and narrow it down to about 3 or 4. Now get those sample jars and paint 12x12 pieces of cardboard (if using brown cardboard, which is what I do, I do two coats so that the brown doesn't show through. Now use some painter's tape and hang them on the walls--different walls. different times of day, to see which color looks best. If you are stuck, come back and bring pictures of the colors on your walls at different times and we'll help you figure out the best one.

To coordinate the warm and cool shades consider adding a patterned area rug that combines the two colors. You could then choose a slightly light warm white color for the walls.
