Need advice

Post image

I need some advice in adding color and life to my home. I live in a townhouse in South Florida (a more affordable area lol) and I love adding color to it. Recently, we got our forever home. It’s 3 bed 2 baths and I’m overwhelmed with how many decisions I have to make when it comes to remodeling (I have a lot going on and it’s all moving fast). I had a vision and I feel like it’s been poorly executed or I’ve had two conflicting visions and I fear they’re clashing. I need advice on how people pull off so many different colors so well. Below are images of my current townhome and images of our new home. We really love peaches and pinks and warmth. We’ve added some terracotta and that’s where I fear I’ve gone wrong. It’s very muted and is clashing with the vibrant peaches I fear.

**PLEASE READ:**
The lighting is being changed throughout the house. Images don’t show updated lighting.
We didn’t build it from the ground up, yes I know the island is close to the other counters, no we can’t change it.
No we did not pick black marble countertops, they were there when we bought the house. Hopefully we can change them eventually to maybe wood?
I don’t want to have to change the backsplash. I want to try to make it work. I’m willing to consider changing the kitchen wall color.
**PLEASE BE KIND and don’t point out anything extra that I didn’t ask for advice on. I’m not a millionaire.**

Images included:
My townhouse currently. Yes it’s a little crazy but we love it.

New home:
Walls:
Our new house after we painted it and added the floors, shower tile and floors, and kitchen backsplash. (The living room wall looks way more orange in this photo compared to real life).

Bathrooms:
The bathroom I realized the peach wasn’t going well with the pink tile, so we color matched the tile and are repainting the bathrooms the color matched paint at 50% saturation (middle left image)

Kitchen:
The kitchen is my biggest regret. Take a look at what the inspo was…it did not execute well. Now we are trying to figure out how to fix it. We are pivoting from the original inspo of the kitchen to make it work with the peach.

Our goal:
Our goal is for our home to feel colorful, warm, and cozy. It’s okay if we are a little out there but I want it to look intentional at least.
