Never even thought about where kitchen splashback design ends? It can be a surprisingly complex question.

From a designer’s perspective, the best time to stop a splashback is… never! After all, when you’ve chosen a beautiful material, why wouldn’t you want more of it? Taking a splashback wall-to-wall and benchtop-to-ceiling makes for seamless lines and a dramatic effect.

Of course, in reality it isn’t always an option to cover every centimetre of wall in a coveted stone. Even in this luxe kitchen someone had to decide: where should the finish end on the wall behind the oven? Above the range hood? Below it? At the same height? In your project, these decisions can be simple or quite complicated, depending on multiple factors.
Opinions differ on this, but for a polished look, ending at the corners rather than wrapping around to finish the side walls, if there are any. In the case of an odd corner, consider the whole corner as part of the ‘back’.

In some cases, a ‘sidesplash’ on a non-cabinet wall (perpendicular to your main splashback wall) can be functional and beautiful. However, skipping it is the simplest way to avoid situations where elements don’t line up neatly.

Typically, the bench, upper cabinets and wall all end at different places on the sides, leaving no definitive stopping point.

Small kitchens – Fully covering the wall is usually your best bet in a small kitchen (or in a larger kitchen that has just a small area for the splashback).

Big kitchens – In the case of a large kitchen, or one with dramatically tall ceilings, taking to full height can bust the budget or completely overload the look. In a case like this, ending the tile vertically at the same line as the upper cabinets gives a better finish.

Now you can have the luxury look of Marble and Stone without the luxury price tag.
