Someone posted this in another dilemma comment earlier today. The cabinet color is similar to yours. The colors in the backsplash go very well. http://houzz.com/photos/101989

i'd do charcoal or lighter grey with charcoal in it., ideally hung to the ceiling and touching the floor. measure floor to ceiling, buy the length that covers the most space, put the rods at that height.

I'm starting to really like the Blue+orange combo.Not one i would instantly have thought of, but I've seen a few pics online after reading your suggestion and i find it really cheerful and soothing at the same time. Thanks for the advice!

I want to paint my kitchen walls inclusive of where the presses are so the wall with the window and the wall to the right. The island is a sage colour. I am thinking a very light heather colour so the kitchen will tie in with the living room (pic2) & get a rug for under the finish table to link the two. Any opinions? PS. I'm thinking of getting a yellow rig for the living room under the poof & front two legs of each of the couches
