Colour schemes for internals

[Flashollie]

So my van is black and will have a blue stripe or accent somewhere on the outside, something like this but probably less stripes

My question is how not make a huge mistake and get the units etc wrong and you can't live with it.
I am having this built shortly and I am just choosing colour for the interior finishes.
I am currently thinking of:
mid grey leather for seats and RnR bed with a blue stitching to bring the colour through
pale grey blue flecked floor
a pale cream ivory for the units with a darker edge banding
a dark ish wood effect worktop
Blinds a slate grey
Splash back and window / blind surrounds in the above blue
a pale grey carpet for the walls.

I am worried this is all a bit drab but I want calm not garish

Its personal taste but I'd like to hear about any tips or mistakes people have made or what you would do differently if you did it again?
I want a light airy space but also practical.

@Flashollie have a look at the VanWorx conversion that someone has posted. The subtle colour accents make all the difference!

Some nice styles. Not thinking of a conversion anytime soon but if I do this is the sort of thing I would go for.

Yes there's good choice of colour schemes from 3 bridges.
Those curves on the work top look great but they must lose you about 20% of the working surface and impact on the cupboard space on the left?
I'm going for a flat worktop.

ThreeBridge also do flat worktops, we had our van converted by them nd wouldn’t change a thing. They will do what you want but with sensible advise if they think you’re mad. Dan was so patient with us and delivered on time despite the snow in December. Worth every penny.
