Good luck OP - the most important thing about your house is that YOU like it. This pattern mixing style is typical in the south - think Charleston. I would guess an Alexandria based designer might be a good fit.
There’s a lot of space between a turquoise dining room (including the ceilings) and beige. A more normal design would be done wallpaper behind the built ins, cool fabric on dining room chairs, colorful drapes in a neat pattern. But just painting the entire room and ceiling in a bright color?
