How to brighten up dark kitchen and dinning room cabinets?

My kitchen/dinning room has dark cabinets and the rest is almost entirely pale yellow.Wanting to do something to break it up. I like headboard but theres a picture window in the dining room and don't think the headboard would look right as the window is down to about 18 inches from the floor.I don't want to change the cupboards.What would you suggest??
