regan165 I have very similar cabinets and my walls were the same color for about 5 years...also similar flooring and appliances but I got tired of the lack of contrast, I changed the hardware to black and the walls are a taupe/beige with a few muted teal and white accessories and white shelves with black iron brackets. Much better. 'All grown up'!
This kitchen has an interesting use of pale wood cabinets. Usually you find that pale wood is used in modern settings will sleek or no hardware. But here it is paired with a rich spice-colored wall and the overall effect is that the kitchen doesn't come across too dark. Nice!
