Interior Colour Scheme Ideas

Just throwing around some ideas for the overall Interior Colour Scheme. Nothing is set in stone and ill probably change my mind and head in a whole different direction because, well lets face it, its still a long way off before I move in. Construction hasn't even started yet, but I'm a planner, I like to be prepared, but most of all I'm just too excited to wait...

Anyhoo..

There will definitely be an overall base scheme of grey and white mixed with wood and metals. I'm a neutral girl and I always gravitate towards neutral schemes as they are probably the easiest to do and always look good.

However as much as I love neutrals, they are pretty safe... and I don't want to be too safe. I want my house to be interesting and full of life, therefore I'm plan on bringing in pops of colour throughout. I'm envisioning my walls in the main living areas to remain fairly neutral but will bring in the colour with my curtains, rugs, accessories etc. These are easily changed if I mess it up because no doubt I will make some bad choices, and it might take a few tries to get it just right, don't forget this is the first time I have ever done this! In the bedrooms I might get a bit more daring and paint the walls a bold colour, maybeeee.

My Dining, Kitchen and living rooms are very open plan, its really one big room.. The colours need to flow throughout this space to make it feel cohesive but I'm still hoping to define each area in its own way.

Some of the colours that I'm leaning towards at the moment are Navy, Yellow, Coral and Pink. No particular reason why other than I just love these colours.

Here are a few samples.. not the exact shades I would use but you get the idea.

So what do you think? Everything will of course evolve over time, I might scratch those colours and go for something different but for now that's the direction I'm leaning towards. Would love to hear anyone's thoughts.
