This week on the blog, we\u2019re talking mixing and matching: worktops<\/strong><\/a>, splashbacks and upstands.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s an infinite number of combinations to choose from, so we\u2019ll share a few of our favourites – who knows? It could be the style inspiration you\u2019ve been waiting for!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First up: what are splashbacks and upstands?<\/h2>\n

Before we get to the style section, let\u2019s talk terminology. Quite simply, kitchen splashbacks and upstands are used to protect your kitchen walls against spitting and splashing.<\/p>\n

An upstand<\/strong> is the name for the turned-up edge where your worktop<\/strong><\/a> meets the wall. Usually about 10-15cm high, an upstand is a border around your kitchen wall – neat, hygienic and easy to clean.<\/p>\n

A splashback<\/strong> is much larger – they can either run all the way around your kitchen, or be placed in areas at high risk of splashing, like your hob or sink. While upstands fit seamlessly with your worktop, splashbacks are frequently (although not always) used as a contrast.<\/p>\n

New York Style: bright white and dark timber<\/h2>\n

\"Mix<\/p>\n

One of our favourite looks at the moment is the New York loft conversion style, which combines combination of clean white units, a high gloss white splashback and bold, dark timber worktops. It\u2019s a simple, chic twist on monochrome style, and it\u2019s so easy to achieve.<\/p>\n
