# Benefits of a Caesarstone splashback

 26/09/2017 |

[ Previous ](https://blog.caesarstone.co.uk/kitchen-cabinets)

When planning or designing a new kitchen, careful thought and attention are often paid to the worktops and cabinetry – these are, after all, two staples of any kitchen design. But how often do you consider the kitchen splashbacks? 

Splashbacks play an important role in today’s hardworking kitchens. As well as enhancing their aesthetic appeal, they also help to protect the wall behind the hob and sink area from splashes, stains and watermarks. Kitchen splashbacks are available in a variety of materials, as well as different sizes to suit your space with bespoke options for a made-to-measure fit.

![statuario maximus kitchen splashback](https://blog.caesarstone.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/statuario-maximus-kitchen-splashback.jpg?width=1240&name=statuario-maximus-kitchen-splashback.jpg)For instant impact, this kitchen incorporates Caesarstone [Statuario Maximus](https://www.caesarstone.co.uk/catalogue/5031-statuario-maximus/) surfaces with a matching feature splashback behind the cooker area. As well as protecting walls, it also adds design continuity. 

** **

## Material matters

The choice of kitchen splashback material will largely depend on the type of [worktop surfaces](https://info.caesarstone.co.uk/kitchen-worktops) you have selected for your new design.

### Tiled splashbacks

Tiles are a popular option for many and they work with a range of kitchen styles and complement timber, laminate, natural or engineered stone, such as quartz, mineral or porcelain, worktops. They can be used to create any number of patterns and textured tiles are becoming highly sought after, with wavy designs as well as raised relief patterns and prints. The major drawback with tiles however is that the grout lines can quickly become ingrained with grease and dirt from cooking and washing-up, so cleaning them is often a challenge.

### Glass and steel splashbacks

For a budget option, toughened glass kitchen splashbacks are available to buy off the shelf as standard sizes. Or, for something unique, you can commission a one-off design from a specialist glass kitchen splashback designer. Stainless steel panels are another option, and they’re often used with a steel range cooker for a matching look.

### Caesarstone splashbacks

If you’re looking for something more cohesive to provide your kitchen with a seamless finish, speak to your designer about continuing the worktop up the wall either as an upstand or as a full kitchen splashback. Some of the most successful schemes involve using the same material for your worktop as well as an island and splashback to tie everything together.

Fashion and lifestyle content creator, [Phillippa Bloom](https://www.instagram.com/philippabloom/), was [redesigning her family kitchen in London](https://blog.caesarstone.co.uk/case-study-tradtional-meets-contemporary-london-family-kitchen) and selected 5171 Arabetto for both her worktop and splashback. She said, “When I look back at our before and after pictures and the installation journey, it really is the worktop and splashback that bring the whole kitchen to life and complete the look.

“I knew I wanted a hardwearing worktop and splashback in our kitchen, and there is no better on the market than Caesarstone. The fact that it looks so beautiful but is also non-porous, stain and heat-resistant makes it so practical and such a gamechanger for our kitchen.”

As well as providing a unified aesthetic for your kitchen, it also makes keeping the area behind your cooker clean a breeze! Caesarstone surfaces are [so easy to maintain](https://www.caesarstone.co.uk/care-and-maintenance/quartz-surfaces/), they just need a quick wipe with a damp cloth and a mild detergent – and because they’re installed as a large slab, there are no annoying grout lines to get stained or discoloured.

[Grand Designs stars Zara and Guiliano](https://blog.caesarstone.co.uk/case-study-grand-designs-dream-home-caesarstone-kitchen-worktops) designed their dream house from the ground up and at the heart of it lies their striking kitchen. They’ve used [5820 Darcrest](https://www.caesarstone.co.uk/catalogue/5820-darcrest-quartz-worktop/) not just as their worktops and waterfall-edge island, but also as an upstand and windowsill behind their main sink, and as a huge statement piece on the back wall.

![caesarstone-foxes-maltings-final-darcrest-04](https://blog.caesarstone.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/caesarstone-foxes-maltings-final-darcrest-04.webp?width=1440&height=960&name=caesarstone-foxes-maltings-final-darcrest-04.webp)

When speaking of her kitchen, Zara said: "*We chose 5820 Darcrest kitchen surfaces which feature a mysteriously dark earthy base, enriched by a veil of organic ochres and brownish greens running throughout. It has a honed finish which gives a beautiful non-reflective sheen.*

"*The experience with our Caesarstone worktop has been an absolute pleasure. It’s created a striking, elegant look with easy maintenance. The surfaces are really easy to keep clean and remain looking brand new with a simple wipe down after messy cooking.*"

Of course, if you prefer a more pared-back look, we have a wide choice of softer colours and patterns. [This family](https://blog.caesarstone.co.uk/case-study-tranquil-family-kitchen-past-present-design-influences) used our [6131 Bianco Drift](https://www.caesarstone.co.uk/catalogue/6131-bianco-drift-mineral-worktop/) surface for their worktops, kitchen island and as a full backsplash, creating a continuous and contemporary look. They paired the granite-inspired grey worktop with bespoke walnut cabinetry and brass hardware to add layers and interest to the space.

When designing her kitchen, [chef and content creator Mandy Miller Simmonds](https://blog.caesarstone.co.uk/case-study-ultimate-chefs-kichen-mandy-miller-simmonds) also used a lighter surface – [5031 Statuario Maximus](https://www.caesarstone.co.uk/catalogue/5031-statuario-maximus-mineral-worktop/) – but paired worktops, splashback and kitchen island with dark green shaker cabinets and brass cabinets to create a gorgeous and dramatic juxtaposition.
