Continue with Corian
Corian is an incredibly versatile material. It can be shaped into sinks, draining boards and even taken up your walls to become a splashback to create a lovely streamlined feel. If you want to rein in the costs, you could go for a low upstand, which just rises about a hand’s width up the wall, as shown here.

Go ‘fir’ real
You might previously have only associated Douglas fir with Christmas trees, but it actually matches very well with muted acrylic worktops, too. To create this minimalist Scandinavian-themed kitchen, slim grey Corian worktops have been teamed with 300mm-wide Douglas fir boards, which have been used for the splashbacks and unit fronts to create this stylish, one-of-a-kind scheme.

Bare all with brick
Brilliant white worktops in smooth acrylic contrast beautifully with sealed natural brick. Here, the worktop has been taken up to a small upstand to make a nice clean border against the brick.

Give it a retro twist
Acrylic may be a super-modern material for your worktops, but that doesn’t mean you can’t lend it a retro feel. Here, warm grey metro tiles, with a contrasting grout to highlight their brick formation, cover the wall behind the sink.
The choice of two warm greys, a flash of bare wood inside the units and some vintage-style accessories give this contemporary work surface a soft, old-school feel.

Let your window double as a splashback
What better way to make more of a view across the garden than to turn it into your splashback? This idea, perfect for contemporary homes, isn’t as common in the UK as in some other countries (this kitchen is in Brisbane, Australia), but a window splashback is an idea to consider if you’re building a brand-new extension.
Do consider window treatments first, though; it will be a less feasible option if you’re committed to a blind or shutters for this window.

Add colour with glass
For a really eye-catching kitchen, opt for a vibrant toughened glass splashback in a striking colour of your choice. The smooth, modern finish makes a particularly good match for an equally seamless contemporary acrylic worktop.
The latest technology means companies can now supply glass in almost any colour under the sun. Some will even colour-match from a sample you give them. Here, bright white acrylic work surfaces and matt grey units are brought to life by a sparkling marine blue splashback.

Tone it down with pale tiles
If you want a comfortable kitchen that oozes understated luxury, team light-coloured acrylic worktops with toning plain tiles.
Here, simple Glacier White Corian work surfaces top traditional, Shaker-style units and sit against a backdrop of glossy white metro tiles. The two surfaces combined create textural contrast, rather than breaking up the clean, white expanse.

Jazz it up with coloured lighting
To create a much more contemporary effect, team contrasting dark tiles with a thin, neutral acrylic surface and then use lighting to jazz it all up.
Here, miniature metallic grey tiles sit alongside a white Corian worktop and are illuminated in lilac. You could even choose lighting with different colour options to create different moods.

Opt for a unique design
The latest digital printing processes make it possible for almost anything to be printed onto a splashback. Here, this vibrant piece of artwork has been printed onto a piece of glass. Teaming this with minimal white units and sleek white worktops ensures the splashback is the star of the show.

Or… forget the splashback
By placing the sink and hob in the middle of the kitchen within an island unit, you avoid the need for a splashback altogether. Here, a bank of floor-to-ceiling units runs along the far wall, while the sink and hob sit neatly within this Corian-encased unit.
