Yay it worked! I should be posting more photos When they told us we can customise we went crazy and flipped everything around within the Garnet outer shell haha. With the colours selection the first thing was the tile selection and then we worked around picking colours from there. We went for the basic colours as the pallette of colour will mainly come from the furnitures and accessories.
TOTALLY agree with the simplistic approach to colours - I really believe the colour should come from what you can add to the basics, especially when the seasons change, not that you'd change the couch 4 times a year (much more if you were to do this in our city!), but more the things you put on top. Looking forward to more pics. I have to post my plan up too, as I also loved the fact that they were happy to change the structural plan at no cost!
