  Splashback

Step 1 Begin with your worktop and pick the
appropriate material

• The splashback of your kitchen should be one of
  the last things that are installed or picked, as
  there are fewer color and material options for
  worktops, the contrasting or complementary
  textures and colors will be narrowed down.
• Some of the most common splashback materials are
  tiles, glass, stainless steel, and marble. They
  all fall into two categories the traditional
  (tiles and wood) and modern styles (stainless
  steel and glass). If you choose the former, the
  grouting materials are difficult to clean. As for
  the latter, the materials will corrode if not
  treated correctly. Each material has its own
  advantage and disadvantages, so choose what best
  suit your needs.

Step 2 Think about the size and placement

• One great way to make a statement wall in the
  kitchen is the use of fully clad splashbacks.
  They have that wow factor effect.
• Alternatively having a full height splashback
  behind the hob and a shorter splashback in
  lighter work areas will reduce the impact of the
  splashback but will save on cost.

Step 3 Decide whether you want the splashback
to blend or to be a feature into the background

• If you have selected a worktop with a neutral
  color, a feature splashback is a great way to add
  some color it will also serve as a focal point
  to your kitchen.
• If you have chosen worktop that is flashy, a
  subtle or matt finish splashback may be the best
  option, so that it wont draw attention away from
  the worktop.
• Pick the colors that are either complementary or
  contrasting if you want to add interest or colors
  that are similar tones to your benchtop for a
  more consistent look.
