When it comes to updating a kitchen, the splashback is one of the most hardworking design features in the room.

Protecting walls from splashes, steam and everyday cooking mishaps, kitchen tile splashbacks also offer a powerful opportunity to add colour, texture and personality to the heart of the home. From classic metro tiles to statement patterns and sleek modern finishes, the right splashback can instantly elevate a kitchen scheme.

Leading tile, wall panel and flooring specialist Hyperion Tiles is encouraging homeowners to rethink this key area, choosing splashback tiles that balance style with long-term practicality. Hyperion Tiles director Richard Skeoch explained: "A kitchen splashback should work just as hard as it looks good. Tiles are heat-resistant, wipe-clean and incredibly durable, making them ideal behind hobs and sinks. Whether you opt for timeless ceramics, robust porcelain or a bold patterned design, a well-chosen splashback can completely transform a kitchen while standing up to daily life."

Our Nina Campbell Goa Indigo Chocolate wall tiles (20 sq cm each) are made from ceramic with a rich gloss finish. Ideal for kitchen splashbacks and feature kitchen walls, they deliver bold colour and a handcrafted feel with designer appeal.

Follow our top tips on choosing kitchen tile splashbacks:

• Balance style with practicality: Ceramic and porcelain tiles are ideal for busy kitchens thanks to their durability, low water absorption and easy-clean finishes.

• Decide on a focal point: Use patterned or colourful tiles to create impact behind the hob, or keep things calm with block-colour or neutral tiles that complement cabinetry and worktops.

• Think about light and space: Gloss finishes and lighter shades help bounce light around smaller or darker kitchens, while matt tiles offer a softer, contemporary feel.

• Don't overlook grout: Mid-tone grout shades are practical in family kitchens, disguising everyday splashes while still looking polished.

• Choose with longevity in mind: Classic tile shapes paired with contemporary colours tend to age more gracefully than overly trend-led designs.
