The world is your oyster. You have to decide what feeling you want when you walk into this room and what colors you want to use to portray that feeling. You have some great breaking points with the ledge and window sills, so you can change colors between under the windows, the sill, over the windows and the ceiling. . . Blue Green A soft yellow Pull in some deeper colors . . . or do 2 tone (Probably should have kept a white ceiling for this one) Do something unexpected like an iguana green and gray Pull in a peacock blue Or keep your white and use just the ceiling and trim to bring in some color. . .

I'm not sure a matching row of anything is required on either side. The narrow bed edged by the sidewalk does limit what you can plant. Since that appears to be the sunniest spot, dwarf abelias could work (and fit) there. A few to consider are 'Kaleidoscope', 'Lemon Lime', 'Miss Lemon' or 'Confetti'. But there is no reason you can't mix it up with some other size appropriate broadleaved evergreen. Or even a dwarf conifer. And feel free to squeeze a few tropical-look annuals or temperennials like the cannas (which would look pretty stunning with the abelias). On the shadier, tree side, I'd assume you are not as restricted with the bed width because of no walkway? If so, widen the bed to accommodate other shade tolerant plantings that would fit.....maybe dwarf rhododendrons, pieris or kalmias and suitable perennials like hostas, which can appear very tropical with their big leaves. Or add caladiums for a more colorful tropical vibe. The point is that a single soldierly line of the same plant is boring and uninspired. They don't all have to be the same on either side so pick and choose to maximize contrast, texture and seasonal appeal. And I'd suggest just using annuals on the planting bed streetside of the walkway. With the typical excessively narrow walkway most houses have by default, large bushy plantings edging a narrow sidewalk will start to feel engulfing and intimidating and make the walkway feel even more narrow. I'd get rid of the those big green blobs to begin with. They are doing nothing to enhance the entry,

I guess the blue may work in the West Indies because it is cooling, but the room looks quite icy to me. That may be exactly what you need though. Sounds like you're happy with it.

When you saw "warm" neutral, are you thinking yellow undertones in the same hue as your floors and tall cabinet?  orange undertones to literally compliment the blue cabinets? warm pink undertones with are popular now? or a yellow-green undertone to create an analogous color scheme between your existing blue and yellows? What would suit the rest of your home? I ask because my first instinct is to create a clean backdrop for your muddy blue to keep the room looking too much the same value (muddy). So at this point I lean strongly to 2 and 4 to create contrast that keeps the space from being depressing. Your mock up doesn't have a warm muddy wall paint. It has a light bright wall paint. You have nice contrast between cool blue and warm yellow woods. You have contrast between dark bronze fixtures (I hope there is enough) and mid-to-light-toned everything else. What you need is a bright near-white value, and wall paint would be great. You also need texture contrast and a pattern. Will you have a runner or area rug? That can wait of course.
