For additional color combinations, consider aqua and chocolate, coral, sunset, reds that contain more orange, ice blue, peacock. My personal favorite is lime green which also couples well with some of these other colors.
Regarding furniture. I believe there is a Scan design in your area.
I like these color combinations, I especially like the aqua and chocolate. That's how I did my bathroom in another house, turned out great!
I will be moving into an empty house in about 2 weeks in Ft. Myers, FL from Phila, PA. I am a guy who likes the modern/contemporary style. I plan on stopping in NC to hit up the furniture outlets and wanted to get some opinions on what would look good. The place I am moving into is pretty much all painted off white and I would like to add some color to it w/out painting.
THANKS!
We shopped in the Manayunk section of the City of Philly before we moved to SE Florida and found a lot of Scan Design furniture so we purchased lots. If you are looking for color in furniture you may find that the Carolina furniture companies concentrate on the browns and darker colors.
The aquas, lime greens, blue-teals and yellows, along with shades of red look great and can be discovered in Ft Myers at Robb n Stuckey or Denmark Interiors. Our home has a lot of white walls and we used art pieces along with caribbean furniture such as multi colored wall art and very heavy wicker to decorate our home. Lots of windows also help along with painting stripes between the ceiling and walls can substitute a lot of the look you are searching to achieve.
Good luck and we have several friends living in Ft Myers.
Benjamin Moore's pale avacado is a great lime green paint color (and I'm really into lime green Will look great with the stone sofa and your floor. Sounds like a great place!

Do you mean ice blue with peacock? That sounds intriguing to me. Can they be together in a casual room? Can you show some examples?
Thanks!
