For the floor I would try to match the ceiling.

I would paint the ceiling white and then put in wide plank oak flooring.

Match the ceiling or go super dark like espresso. You will need to keep all the walls & furnishings light to make it work. Great house & neighboehood btw!

Here is a picture what that might look like. (I just googled "MCM hardwood floors" and clicked on Images.)

Please don't paint the ceiling. If you buy a MCM house usually it is because you like the feel of that style, so please don't take away the essence of the house. I have the original floors in my MCM and they are the 3.5 inch planks in a light tone that balances out the darker ceiling.

Congrats on your new home! How about wood look tiles instead?

This. Those ceilings are dated. The lighter the color of the floor, the less it shows dust. I suggest you look at laminent.

It is more durable than wood, keeps its shine and easier to clean. I love it

Based off this picture, I woukd paint the ceiling white, stain the beams a darker color, and go with a dark (not golden) oak floor finish.

If you keep the ceiling tye natural wood color, I would go with some sort of natural tile floor like slate.

We had this kind of ceiling in an historic home in TX. It was stained (or weathered) to a dark espresso color, almost black. One room had oak floors (the brown kind, not the orange kind) and the other room had terracttoa tiles. Both were gorgeous. The darkness of the ceiling made the room feel more expansive and not distracting like the picture.

Please don't paint mid century wood ceilings white. Please.
