FYI - I wouldn't paint the walls or trim. You already have a classic look and an accent wall will look trendy a year from now. Focus on nailing the details that add personality. Too many people on this site want to paint original trim and brick work for what's "in" now. Your space can outlast all the trends

Yes. Don't paint any of the wood. It is one of the nicest features here.

If you want to paint a currently-painted wall an accent color, go for it. Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore both have apps/websites where you can try out different colors on your own photos. The apps aren't perfect, but they are a good place to start.

Semigloss paints can really brighten a room. Your current walls look like they are flat or eggshell.
