Not sure if you can get a Viking (or perhaps another brand has this bird egg blue color). I think it would look really nice and just be sure to select a tile that has that shade + black and white. Or you could just keep black appliances and have lots of color in your backsplash. houzz=];[houzz=]

I think the mixer you have is a fabulous color and I would work with that.

I have a beautiful result in my own house from raising the cabinets and including a country-style shelf that runs underneath them all for attractive things I use that work with the color scheme, and I bright cheerfulness is maintained with a white tile backsplash in a more ornate pattern that isn't overwhelming because of the light color. Looking at your mixer and stye, it looks like you love a country cottage style with a little modern stainless steel so the right art over the sink would be beautiful. Here is a photo of my kitchen and a beautiful chest I stripped and re-designed/painted for an area that needed something opposite the kitchen table..

I suggest selecting a neutral tile or stone (either manmade or natural) as a backsplash then adding the color in accessories like your mixer, teapot, dish towels; things that can be changed out as color trends come and go.

..and P.S. black and white is classy! You just need a few accessories with the right pops of color, and some nice pattern in a backsplash! :-)

heres an idea, add some glass front doors, put your color in there and around, and go with shiny white tile work. also add some stainless or white floating shelves over the sink area, for more charm.

what about glass subway tiles, that are coke bottle color?

Thanks. Maybe a few more pictures will help. I like the idea of painting the walls same colour as the back splash but not sure which colour of backsplash to go for. I'm a little afraid that white tiles will make it too sanitary. I still have the ice blue mixer but I also have this stainless steel one (present ) which I have tried and I think it looks too bland in the kitchen.

My kitchen is basically the same as yours. I have marble backsplash and the walls are a light blue.

I love all the ideas especially for the glass doors and colour on the shelves so they show but don't take over the kitchen. Thanks so much all.

@Design homemaker, your kitchen is beautiful and you are right, I do love a country cottage feel and I can't do without stainless steel appliances. Thanks loads the ideas.
