Hi,
It’s looking great. I like the light units on the walls with the dark units at the bottom. I take it you’re quite handy in the DIY sense? How about the classic white square tiles. They are very cost effective and not too tricky to put up.
They could be laid in two different ways, (see my photos) although personally I think, as you have the pattern of the marble in the worktop, a classic grid would look best. You could use dark grout (which would tie in with the light and dark of the cupboards).
Your windowsill could then be dark, to again pull in that contrast.
Good luck with it,
Rebecca

I love your countertops and think you did a great job with this kitchen on a budget! Are you going for a bit of a statement...or maybe colour? Or hoping to stick to inky blue and white? The first image is a tile that would work with your colours and add a bit of a statement from here (https://www.ceramictilesupplies.co.uk/ceramic-tile-backsplash-ideas/). The second is an idea that would add a bit of warmth to your kitchen with wood effect tiles. And the third is a grayish colour to pick up a bit of grey from your countertop from here. (https://www.porcelainsuperstore.co.uk/opal-grey.html#). White tile is a good option too but I get really picky about matching my whites...I think it could be tough to find a white tile that works perfectly with the white in your countertops and the white cabinets. Conats on the great kitchen project and good luck! xx

All the advice about glass and tiles as a splashback are pretty permanent so why not try some other solution. I've tried tektura which is flexible and if you get fed up with it take it down and change your design

I think the kitchen looks great. Perhaps a pile of chopping boards next to the sink and something vintage on the shelves. I wouldn't do a coloured splashback with an industriał look. If you really want to change it and budget isn't an issue (they are dear!) try an antiqued mirror splashback. You can also just silver leaf the ŵall and then have a clear glass splashback for a budget version. Alternatively have a look at metal sheeting splashbacks, you can also get hammered ones etc for texture. If you don't mind mixing metals then try bronze or copper. I had thought you could do american tin tiles on the ceiling as an alternative to bounce light but then realised how high the cupboards are fitted.. You could also look at tin tile wallpaper and again clear splashback over the top. Not for light, but leathered marble looks great but I'm struggling to find any in the uk

Kitchen cooker splash back or tile all around?

We vote tiles! If it was my kitchen (and mostly because I'm a messy cook) I would be inclined to tile (or glass backsplash) anywhere that might need to be wiped down-e.g. behind cooker, along any counters where I might be doing any food prep. This gives you plenty of options-you could tile behind cooker and counters in metro/subway tiles, but be careful as it could look busy with the granite and wood grain of kitchen-it will depend on the grout. Alternatively, you could use big clean glossy tiles like this marble look above.

If you did do tiles - which would look great - say chevron style if you like these - and do a darker grout - behind the cooker does get splattered, so the darker grout would not show - the tile area needs to cover right up to the top of the kitchen cupboards and round the cooker hood. It is strange how years ago everyone stuck a piece of stainless steel there - they are a nightmare to clean, and admittedly look out of place.

You could go for a laminate splash back to match your Calcutta worktop.

I have the same worktop!

I bought the matching upstand and painted the walls above. I then went over them with dead flat Polyvine decorators varnish. Even behind my hob any splashes wipe right off with no problem.

I think with the size of the kitchen keep it simple :)

Agree with Danielle and i'd also suggest having the matching upstand all round the worktop.

Could also look at having a painted glass splashback made to size to go behind the hob and sit this on top of the upstand as its an electric hob and have it going just up to your extractor and made just wide enough to fit between the wall units. (use some mdf and make a template to make sure it fits).
