For me, I am choosing 1, if I am having a wooden floor, I would rather paint the walls. Or keep the walls and re-carpet it.
I would probably re-carpet myself. Something soft so it’s a more cozy space, where you want to be relaxing barefoot (no shoes allowed kinda deal).
I would always leave the “brick work” exposed. That being painted is a crime, as it is a center piece of the room. I also don’t think I would paint the beams black, I prefer them wooden.

So that wood wall is not wood, it’s like 1/8th" veneer. So of all the things, I’m okay with that going. Granted, don’t paint it, rip it out, apply new walls where necessary, and then paint those.
That being said, we moved in 1997 to a house with the wood paneling, and as we were ripping it down, there were a million large holes everywhere, so we put it back up and painted it. White.

Veneer is fine to paint usually. Textured veneer looks tacky when painted.
We hide real wood too much in modern interior design; celebrate it because it might become very rare.
