Starting from scratch with the furniture

Hi gang! I've been working on furnishing the place that I rent for the past year. I wanted solid wood furniture for the place, and a lot of it ended up being mid century pieces because so much is that has nice wood grain. Lol now my problem is that I fear the place looks too retro rather than classic. I plan to change the rug in the living room in the near future, and my search for a different main couch is ongoing. Any suggestions? Are there pieces of furniture that you would change up for something more traditional? And don't worry, that TV is coming down off the fireplace.

And what about decor? I know that's a personal thing and subjective. I haven't really started to much with the decor as my main focus has been the bones of this place with the furniture. I need to think of comfort and pillows...but the furniture needs to be rearranged!

I would like the look to be less retro. Does it look too retro and thematic? I wanted a classical look.

I appreciate any suggestions and opinions. All is welcome! less
