I'd go with a grey which has a brown base - Farrow & Ball Skimming Stone would work well with your worktop.

There are so many different types of work surface now its a mind field so make sure you take your time choosing. If your kitchen is predominately cream it would be nice to add a splash of colour on the work surfaces in a brown palette.

Yes - mixing like this in different areas is fine! And oak is warmer on the elbows if it's an island with an eating area too !!

The fireplace is looking great. It looks like a fun project. I work from home too and it can be sometimes a bit much, not being able to break away from the work. I like surrounding myself with things that inspire my work rather than the work itself. Although, that niche you've got is screaming for a built-in bookshelf. But instead of using it as storage for workstuff, you could fill it with things you love instead. It would add texture and colour to the space. You could also consider having it in wood, to bring in the wood texture your wanted on the floor. I really like the colour palette you've chosen. I have a grey carpet myself. It would be easy to add a pop of blue on your chairs. If you are worried about the desk chair, there are products with castors for carpets. Another thought, is perhaps the desk can be pulled away from the wall, so it fills the room. It can act as your desk, as well as a meeting space or a family space in the evening. It also won't feel like you are facing a wall all day long.

kitchen. Shaker and gloss mix?
Q

I also don’t think this works in my opinion the gloss finish and the handleless door doesn’t fit with the traditional shaker door. Consider something that ties the two parts together- I think this could be to have your traditional blue kitchen island and then the wall side have flat fronted matt white cabinets with handles that match the island. Alternatively consider a contemporary take on the shaker door and have the same door (in different colours) for the whole room. Some German manufacturers such as Leicht do a contemporary shaker. There are also traditional inframe kitchens that you might consider- The Modern Classic from Mereway has no panel but is still traditional because it is in frame
