Stay with light beige for your main pieces like the sofa and chairs. Add in other colors and patterns with pillows and throws. Keep the drapes simple and hang them high as possible (with a traditional height ceiling not a vaulted). It would help to have pictures and to know what style of furniture you prefer--modern, traditional or a mix.

Thanks!!! That looks lovely...!! Unfortunately the white counter wont work for the kitchen im planning - abundant turmeric in Indian cooking precludes any soft colour.. Went out today and got myself a black countertop with white veins (I HATE granite), and am now planning white shutters to go with it instead of the grey... Any other thoughts? Am not mulling over the backsplash...

I see this post it really old, but if you haven't already, with blue roof, you can go with white or white toned wall paints, or give it a Moroccan look by painting the walls mustard and doors and windows white. This color scheme is very lively.

Anshu, You should share the images . You have gone for a bold choice with Grey and black in my guess it should look good with light pastel shades. Thanks Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.
