Hello everyone,

basically I am having super hard time to chose room layout and colors. I though all this would be fun and easy but man I was wrong.

So lets see the dilemma:



So this is the space, sorry for putting such a mess of images, but I didn't have anything else to work with :/. So the blue and green thingy is my corner sofa, witch I already ordered, I chose this color:



The square toilet paper thingy is the desk, I prefer separated table from kitchen because I can still move things around, idk. I was thinking to make the table similar to this:



And the kitchen is L-shaped as seen on images. I am struggling first with colors, I am thinking of using two toned kitchen layout with this colors:


Top parts would be whiter color ( in shop it has name of cream beige, but its like closest to white with a bit of tint of warm color) and bottom part of kitchen would be one of the grays ( right one fits better with cream beige in my opinion, in the shop the color has name Diamond Gray).


So to sum it up, I am afraid that I will mix the colors badly. Like I have some creamy top kitchen and some grayish bottom, then black table legs, then beige sofa and so on. I am thinking wrongly here, or is this all okey? I was thinking of adding a lot of warm colors since my parquet is light brown and there is a bit of low level of sunlight.

Generally I need some opinion on the issue or I'll go nuts from overthinking all this. Any help would be appreciated.

    Am thinking that the darker lowers will bring your design down a bit, especially as it is in the rear corner of the flat. An all cream/white would be a good background to your table design. The wood in the table will bring a warmth to the space as one looks over. You could add more warmth by wood items such as utensil jars or chopping board so the benches don’t look sparse. Switching to an all cream/white will give you a calm space with your settee. If you feel like you need more color, then it’s easier to change out accessories like kitchen ware and cushions than cupboards.

    I would ditch the grey. I don’t feel it would go with the sofa at all. I’d use the white/beige units all over. As kazzh says it will keep everything calm and light. The table is lovely and it will add a warm wood element. When your kitchen and sofa are in place then add cushions, art and a nice big rug in a favourite colour. Maybe a sideboard for more storage. Add wall colour if necessary. You will be amazed how you can add colour and interest with these simple things.
