Talk with someone in the paint department at either Home Depot or Lowes.
How about mauve? It's in the same color family as burgundy (red/pink mixed with blue) and would blend with the carpet.
I did a bit of research for you on the 'net. Colors that work well with burgundy are gold, pumpkin, terra cotta, rose, hunter green, royal blue, and copper. If you have a color wheel, create an imaginary triangle having one point be the burgundy. Those other two colors compliment the burgundy.
If you choose the gold, pumpkin, terracotta or copper, they should already compliment the oak wood.
The main question is : does your kitchen and dining room open up to each other or are they self contained? If they are self contained the colors can be different, if they are open they will need to match or coordinate to avoid clashing. You need a paint color that will make the wood POP! This needs contrast for the paint to the wood. The colors you have chosen is not enough to contrast. Good luck.
The dining room opens up to the kitchen which then in turn turns into a hallway with a single window leading out to our garage. I was thinking of doing homberg gray by sherwin williams on the bottom in a striped pattern (in glossy and semi gloss finish maybe?) and I'm stuck as far as what to use for the color on the top and in the kitchen.
