Need kitchen decor help!

Hello Houzz-ers!
The photo is an almost completed kitchen, grey units and black granite worktop. I'm struggling to decide on what colour to paint the walls? I'm a bit of a colour-phobe so a little scared about using bold colours but happy to be guided by the Houzz experts on here!
Thanks for looking :-)

Comments (11)This colour is also lifted a lot by metallic accents and will complement your grey kitchen - especially if you change the cabinet knobs to polished brass and mirror this change with a lamp or picture frames in the same material over the blue. If you use warmer temperature lighting in it, it goes a soft sea green in the evenings, which is very mellow. It's Farrow & Ball Light Blue....See Morekitchen decor help
Comments (2)Ooh, please move the toaster before you set fire to the cupboard over it. Putting a toaster under a cabinet is actually dangerous. Constantly heating the cupboard will dry the carcass out until it can actually ignite eventually. To pull the top and bottom cabinets together with the flooring and tiles i'd change all the kitchen equipment and cannisters etc to a bronze colour. Making them all the same theme colourwise will make it look more polished and elegant. As the kitchen area is a little dark, take away everything from the window sill to maximize the light. Don't put up a blind as that will hinder further. I can't quite make out some of your dimensions needed, so this is a rough guess. Maybe something like this could work. You are hindered by the fact that your doors open inwards and I'd highly suggest changing that....See Moreneed decorating help
Comments (45)Sadly it doesn’t work out mathematically (well if my maths is right!). You obviously get left with odd sized panels either side of the fire, if you have graph paper it may be worth drawing it. I’d allow for squares c50cm and the trim 8cm (Think it worked out at 49.69 height wise). I’ve just added this where the panelling obviously isn’t balanced around the fire. If I remember in the morning, I will add pics of my bathroom panelling although it’s not the square type. I’ve got 2 windows which aren’t completely central so there’s skinnier panelling one side of the window...See More

I am a big fan of feature walls with vibrant paint or cladding! I concur with Daisy, orange goes so well with grey, and it evokes warmth too.
