Hello Diya, Go with light grey or pearl white wall tiles with overhead cabinets. If u want you can go for vibrant colors also, if used in proportion will give the happening ambience for small space. The functionality and store space has nothing to do with color combination. U can go for white ( light color ) cabinets with pop up wall tiles and a small suggestion if u can replace that counter top with light color finished top, that will change the space a lot.

Anshu, You should share the images . You have gone for a bold choice with Grey and black in my guess it should look good with light pastel shades. Thanks Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.

@Rock Doc: Are you addressing this to me? I haven't actually bought these tiles yet - when I do, I will definitely be going for the handmade ones. They're a work of art and irreplaceable in my opinion. However, there are also screen-printed tiles available in the market in more or less the same patterns; the workmanship is of course different, but you get them cheaper, and they're also more easily available. You could give that a shot. I'd recommend Aakaar Flooring Solutions - they're here on Houzz and are able to provide both the above-mentioned types.
