Wall colour to tie together white and cream

[TheGirlOnTheLanding]

We've installed a white shaker kitchen with quartz worktops that are lightly veined with brown/gold. Floor will be warm wood effect vinyl. I was hoping to keep the walls fairly neutral and bring in colour with blinds, tablecloth etc. Some other elements have pushed us over budget so it makes sense (and is better for the planet) to keep the existing microwave, kettle and toaster (they still work despite the toaster being 20+ years old! Good old Dualit). They are a very buttery cream colour though - is there any wall colour that will tie them together or do I need to find some cupboard to hide them when not in use?

I am the wrong person to respond really, because I have weird taste and actually wouldn't know what to do with a white kitchen, other than paint the walls quite a dark colour, which I know wouldn't appeal to everyone.
But I suppose it would overcome the white/cream thing.

Or I might paint the walls in gold, as metallic a paint as I can find.

Hmm thanks @Giggorata, a dark colour wasn't really on my radar but something to consider

You could get a can of spray paint and spray the microwave and kettle. Not sure about the toaster but if the spray paint is ok for radiators then it would probably be ok for a toaster.

Cream walls? Will go with white as well as the quartz you've got?

What about a rug? It would really tie the room together.

@TylerD Aw, dude 🤣

As you were@TheGirlOnTheLanding I couldn’t resist the rug reference. Sorry to interrupt

Different whites and creams can look great together.

As long as the white on your units is a warm white - deeper white shade should work just fine with buttery. We have F&B Pointing on our walls, in places it's the colour of clotted cream - in other places in the room it's a very neutral balance between cool and warm - it might be worth a look.
Take a door and a toaster with you to the paint shop - go to a decent paint shop where they will have someone with an eye for colour, go at a non-busy time, so you can spend time working through the different shades - check the colours outside too. In today's aesthetic, a white kitchen needs to be warmed up with plants and wood - you can see that from the Farrow & Ball link - it's all about the dressing. Choose wooden frames for artwork and furniture, an aged rug will help too.

Cream or sage green walls (have a look at farrow and ball vert de terre)
Then blinds with some colour/pattern, like flowers, Dunelm do nice ones

Thanks all - I've now ordered samples of F&B pointing, James white and schoolhouse white to see how they look in the room and I've ordering samples of blinds fabric too. It's hard to visualise when the walls are freshly plastered and I know it'll never look like those F&B pics but it's a good starting point.
