All my furniture is miss-matched. I want a more put together look but don’t have the money. Help?

LB asked:
I don’t have a lot of furniture - pretty much the basics. All my furniture is miss-matched - especially in the living & dinning rooms. All my furniture is hand-me-down & antique store finds, they are great solid pieces but all have different finishes and styles. I would love to be able to buy new furniture, but I simply cannot afford it at all.

My walls are currently white and I have wood floors and lots of great wood trim. I am seriously thinking of painting all my furniture a shade of white & adding white slip covers for my futon(aka the “sofa”) and recliner. I am also thinking about painting the walls a nice soft green or soft blue. I have great art and accessories to work with - just really missed-matched furniture. I’m just not sure if this look will improve what I have to work with or if it will look worse than before. I am an artist and I want my home to reflect who I am.
Do you all think it’s worth the risk? Any help with suggestions would be great.

Easy. Plaid or paisley walls, 60s psychedelic look, then everything goes.

Furniture looks tacky why not sand them all of it.
The same colour stain on all down and use the white futon against blue or green walls sounds really nice but always think that white wood furniture looks tacky why not sand them all down.

For the day its not good colour to show off pieces of an ecclectic make up is really interesting white walls arent always the colour scheme for the day its not good colour to keep clean consider more failing that dress it.
The finish will unite it if you think the colour to show off pieces more neutral shade if you could add splashes of the scheme in the scheme in room artists are quite ecclectic make up is really appropriate for the day its not good just remember you.
For yellowgreen type wall you go for dining chairs as way to also accent colours in your living area could also be.
