Is this the upstand for the whole of the worksurface or a splashback behind a sink or hob? If it's the Upstand then i'd match the worktop. For the splashback, then match the type of surface to that of the worktop, ie, if it's gloss stay with gloss, if matt stay with matt. As long as the surfaces are easy to clean then staying within a style will keep the kitchen looking seemless.

An upstand sits on the worktop and is around 4" high. A splashback normally fits behind the hob area to prevent splashes ruining the wall. You can have one or both fitted.

Is there any reason why you're not having the same quartz for the up stand as you are having on the worktop? That would be most people's choice. I do like the tiles however, and think they would go very nicely with what you describe.

Hi Tashmina, I like the tile, however I would like to see how you intend to incorporate this with your kitchen? What colour is it? Is it a modern or more traditional kitchen?
