Show off with tiles
It doesn’t matter whether you opt for minimalist metro tiles, like these, or vibrant patterned designs, ceramic and wood naturally work well together, so tiles are the perfect splashback for wooden worktops. And while wooden flooring might have been too much in this scheme, porcelain floor tiles finish the room off elegantly.

Pick out tongue and groove
Panelled walls finished in a contrasting colour to painted wooden units can look very effective, especially in traditional farmhouse-style kitchens.
Here, simple duck-egg blue units topped with a pale wood worktop sit serenely beneath a cream-coloured tongue-and-groove wallcovering. Just ensure you use paint suitable for a steamy kitchen environment.

Mix it up
To create a relaxed, bistro-style setting, team wooden worktops with a mix of splashback finishes. Here, chunky surfaces sit alongside tiled and mirrored walls. This look is well suited to large kitchens with high ceilings, but would perhaps look a little too fussy in a smaller space.

Play with heavy metal
If a material has protective properties, won’t be damaged by water and can easily be fixed to a wall, you can turn it into a splashback, as this edgy scheme demonstrates. Here, corrugated metal undulates across the walls and becomes the star of the show, leaving simple wooden units and worktops as the vital supporting cast.

Go back to brick
Raw materials tend to sit nicely together, so wooden worktops and simple brick or stone will work like a dream. Here, vibrant blue-painted units have been combined with a mix of wood and stainless-steel worktops to give this welcoming kitchen a clean industrial feel.

Add some sparkle
Brightly coloured, back-painted glass splashbacks contrast gracefully with both light and dark wooden worktops. Alternatively, you can place a clear-glass sheet over a wallpapered wall; just make sure it’s sealed properly to prevent condensation creeping in.

Call for copper
Many light oak worktops have a coppery tinge, so this iron-glass splashback gilded with copper leaf to give a marble-like effect is ideal for this kitchen. The splashback has been overlaid on a wall painted with olive green paint, but you could experiment with different background colours.

Take your worktop up your walls
If you have wooden units, too, this look could be overkill. However, if your units are in a contrasting material, such as the white cupboards seen here, using the same wood on the walls as the worktops can create a very striking and streamlined feel.

Create a mirror image
Mirrored splashbacks complement any worktop – they simply reflect the room back at you. And they are very effective in narrow galley kitchens with a single natural light source, as they help to bounce the light further into the room.
In this kitchen, a mirrored splashback sits alongside simple handleless units and makes the centrepiece wooden worktop appear to double in size.
