I need some decorating help.

This is my china. The real colors may be hard to see- there's a deep terra cotta color, medium green and a tiny, tiny hint of blue. Cream background.



This is the kitchen. It's butt ugly at the moment. I pulled down the wallpaper and took down the shelves. I am going to leave the bottom half of the wall paneled for now, and we won't be getting new cabinets for while either. I want to do a copper backsplash (the metal tiles). I would love any input because I want to display my casual china, so I would like some help on using color. I will be painting the walls (top and bottom in different colors) and the cabinets.
Thanks.

Re: I need some decorating help.

Is it a big kitchen? How about doing a terracotta color on the walls...or maybe just a shade lighter than that.

Re: I need some decorating help.

I would do something very light and unobtrusive, like a very light shade of green that compliments the green in the plates. Any color too bright, would take away from the plates and would make them blend in too much.
