The deep colour of the cupboard fronts reappears on the painted upper walls. Pale tiles separate those two areas, while the white worktop and sanitaryware keep the lower arrangement light. The room uses a strong colour in two places without making every surface dark.
Consider the furniture and paint samples together when planning a partly tiled room. Repeating a cupboard colour above the tiles can connect the fitted storage to the wider room. Check both finishes in the room’s light, since paint and furniture surfaces may show the same colour differently.
