Matching Backsplashes with Quartz Worktops

The Ultimate Guide

When it comes to modern kitchen design, the worktop quartz is a star player, particularly in high-end homes across Dorset, Bournemouth, and the South Coast. But as any interior designer will tell you, even the most stunning quartz worktop can be elevated by the right backsplash. At Vision Worksurfaces, we offer an extensive range of solutions not just for your quartz worktops, but also for the often overlooked yet crucial kitchen worktop covers and backsplashes.

Why the Backsplash Matters

Think of your backsplash as the canvas that accentuates your worktop quartz. While kitchen worktops may take centre stage, the backsplash serves as a backdrop that can either make or break your overall kitchen aesthetic. Beyond aesthetics, backsplashes have a functional purpose; they protect your walls from splatters, grease, and potential staining, making them as practical as they are stylish.

About us

Coordinated Styling

Quartz is a popular choice for kitchen overlay worktops—thin layers that can be added to existing countertops for a fresh look without a complete remodel. If you’re opting for a kitchen worktop overlay, your backsplash needs to not just match the new overlay, but also blend well with the existing structure. Quartz overlays for kitchen worktops often come in neutral tones, which can be effortlessly paired with a monochromatic or patterned backsplash.

Textures and Colours

Quartz is revered for its vast range of colours and patterns. When it comes to choosing backsplashes, you have the luxury of opting for contrasting textures and tones or sticking to a monochrome theme. If your quartz worktop is a neutral grey, for example, a splash of colour on your backsplash can add vibrancy to your kitchen. On the other hand, a classic white quartz worktop often pairs best with a subtly textured, white backsplash for a clean, modern look.

Practicality of Worktops Overlay

When selecting a backsplash, practicality should be considered along with aesthetics. The good news is that quartz is incredibly durable, and it pairs well with a range of materials including tiles, glass, and even more quartz. If you’re installing an overlay for kitchen worktops, choose a backsplash material that is easy to clean and maintain. Given the humidity and water exposure, materials like ceramic or glass tiles are often recommended.

Customisation Options

Here at Vision Worksurfaces, we offer an extensive customisation range for your quartz worktops and backsplashes. Whether you’re looking for overlay for kitchen worktops or something more traditional, we have options to suit your specific needs and aesthetic aspirations.

Backsplash Height

When planning your kitchen remodel or upgrade, the height of the backsplash is often an overlooked factor. While traditional backsplashes extend only about 4 inches above the worktop, modern trends often feature full wall backsplashes that stretch from the countertop to the upper cabinets. The choice is ultimately yours, but remember, a higher backsplash offers more room for stylistic expression, not to mention added protection for your walls.

Local Trends in Dorset

In keeping with the local architectural trends of the South Coast, light, sea-inspired colours and natural textures are highly popular. Quartz worktops in shades of white, beige, or light grey paired with a complementary backsplash can lend your kitchen a contemporary, yet timeless look.
