Dream Home - Thinking about the interiors - inspiration and hand visualisations

I've started to think now that I have finalised the layout of my dream home, what the interiors are going to be used for and how they will look.
I have in mind using environmentally friendly materials and fittings wherever possible to contribute to this low emissions home.
I used a number of photographs based in NY as inspiration for colour schemes and materials to be used.  In this first photograph of NY, I loved the bright yellow against the dark grey/blue sky line and grey buildings. It was both combining sun and rain in the one picture.  As the kitchen/dining/family areas face south east, the use of dark colours would be OK as plenty of natural light coming in.  I love the sunniness of the yellow and its mood enhancer for starting the day.

For the Bedrooms - again influenced by images of New York - I came up with the following schematics.

The boys love sport, so bedroom 2 and 3 on the plan have this in mind when thinking about their interior

New York Skyline painting by Daniel "Danny O" O'Connor is made from recycled materials in his collage. Made from magazines, newspapers, scotch tape and drawings and then assembles them on old album records.
The New York Yankees are committed to helping to promote a sustainable environment and have implemented many green initiatives at Yankee Stadium.

For the Master bedroom, I loved a photograph of late autumn in central park, where the leaves on the trees are golden yellow and there is snow on the ground. this along with the iconic brick wall from loft interiors, inspired the look of the room.

lastly for the formal lounge area, I used a painting of 'Brooklyn & Manhattan Bridges by Joan Farre to inspire the colour scheme and muted look of the room.
