Combining a sleek clean kitchen environment with the provision of colour, interest and enhanced light can be something of a challenge, but one of the latest trends in kitchen decor does just that spectacularly well - glass splashbacks and glass upstands. We are all familiar with stainless steel and enamel splashbacks, which offer a practical if rather dark solution. But with glass, the level of interest and impact can be outstanding.

So what can you expect in colour terms? Well, there are plenty of options available from a beautifully clean and sharp zest green, to the deep, and the seductive tone of fuschia pink and from the subtle, calming Atlas sea blue to the elegant statement made by shimmering gold; and many colours in between.

These glass splashbacks panels come in a variety of sizes to suit standard cooker widths and sit neatly behind the hob. They have a self-adhesive backing, which makes them extremely easy to fit. Further, they are formed in very strong glass, which also makes them incredibly difficult to break! The splashbacks naturally conform to all required BS standards.

Then, to make your splash of colour extend further, you can add to the splashbacks with matching glass 'upstands'. An upstand is a glass panel that sits against the wall extending up from the worktop, making a beautiful (and very quick and easy to fit) frieze that can extend as far as you want around the kitchen. Unlike tiles, the size of these panels means the joins are reduced to a minimum making them far easier to clean and less likely to encourage dirt and germs. So, if you want a dash of colour in the kitchen - then splash out on a new glass splashbacks!
