Mowlem walnut kitchen with a seamless expanse of toughened glass that reflects light around the room and enhances illuminated shelving. Available in 24 colours (shown in Mustard). Intaglio glass splashbacks cost from £300sq m from Kitchens International

Who says practical can’t be beautiful? While the point of a splashback is to protect kitchen walls from spatter from the sink and hob, this wipe-clean surface has established a new design role, either as a subtle backdrop or a striking focal point.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT KITCHEN WALL SURFACE

The KBSA can help you to decide between the different options available for wall surfaces and splashbacks. 

The RWK Lugano kitchen by Kitchens International uses hi-gloss acrylic and glass cabinetry with brushed stainless steel units, along with a vinyl splashback.  The worktops are in Corian in everest and Blue Pearl granite.
