Choosing the Right Splashback for Your New Kitchen

Designing your dream kitchen is not just choosing beautiful cabinets and high-performance appliances — it’s about creating a space that works for your lifestyle. At Paul Davies Kitchens & Appliances, our professional kitchen fitting service ensures every element of your new kitchen is expertly installed, including those finishing touches that make all the difference, like your splashback.

Whether planning a full kitchen refit or simply refreshing your space, choosing the right splashback is key to combining practicality with personal style. With our wide range of splashbacks and hoods, our expert team is here to help you select and fit the perfect solution.

Why the Right Splashback Matters

A splashback is more than a functional feature designed to protect your walls from splashes and stains. It plays a crucial role in defining the aesthetic of your kitchen, tying together your colour palette, textures, and overall design.

From sleek glass finishes to classic stainless steel, the right splashback adds polish and personality while making your kitchen easier to clean and maintain. When properly installed as part of a professionally fitted kitchen, it enhances the value and longevity of your space.

Splashbacks That Suit Every Style

There’s no one-size-fits-all on splashbacks; we stock various options to suit every kitchen design and budget. Here are a few of the most popular styles to consider:

1. Glass Splashbacks

If looking for a sleek, modern look, glass splashbacks are perfect. Available in various colours and finishes, they’re hygienic, easy to wipe clean, and reflect light beautifully. Therefore, ideal for smaller kitchens or contemporary spaces.

2. Stainless Steel Splashbacks

Stainless steel is practical and stylish, ideal for an industrial or professional vibe. Resistant to heat and stains, these splashbacks function brilliantly behind hobs and cookers, particularly when paired with matching canopies or chimney hoods.

3. Acrylic Splashbacks

A more cost-effective alternative to glass, acrylic splashbacks offer bold colour options and a smooth surface that’s simple to clean. They’re great for injecting personality into your kitchen without sacrificing practicality.

4. Tiled Splashbacks

Though not part of our direct product range, many customers choose to complement our fitted kitchens with traditional tiled splashbacks — a timeless option with endless design flexibility. If you go this route, our team can still advise on sizing and layout to ensure a clean finish around your appliances.

Matching Your Splashback with the Right Hood

Choosing a splashback goes hand in hand with selecting the right extractor hood. At Paul Davies, we offer a full selection of styles to suit all kitchen layouts:

• Chimney Hoods – Ideal for traditional layouts, offering strong extraction with a classic look.
• Canopy Hoods – Discreet and built into cabinetry, these are perfect for minimalist kitchens.
• Integrated Hoods – Designed to be hidden behind a cabinet door, for a sleek, uninterrupted finish.
• Island Hoods – A stunning choice for open-plan kitchens with central islands, often paired with striking splashbacks for added impact.
• Telescopic Hoods – Space-saving and practical, these slide out when used and tuck away neatly when not.
• Visor Hoods – Compact and cost-effective, visor hoods are great for smaller kitchens or apartments.
• Downdraft Extractors – The ultimate in modern luxury, these rise from the worktop at the push of a button and pair well with clean, glass splashbacks for a high-tech, streamlined kitchen.

Our team can help you select the right combination of hood and splashback to match your kitchen layout and ventilation needs while keeping everything visually cohesive.
