Not too much, but maybe most of the walls in pale yellow or ivory, and one in either the boomerang or star pattern here: http://www.melinamade.com/Store2/retro_wallpaper.php3?cookie_set=/+ The star one particularly is fairly understated and woud bring a little more color and pattern in. I've been thinking of it for our pink and black bathroom (with turquoise fixtures), but I think it would pick up your blue nicely. You should know, though, that I generally deplore wallpaper, especially after having to remove it from my kitchen ceiling, so I don't give this advice lightly!

If not, a tone-on-tone light blue (a shade lighter than the tiles) would be a good choice. I think a light, lemon meringue yellow would be very fifties.
