Kitchen Worktop and Splashback Trends
Kitchen worktops are no longer just a practical surface. They are a defining design feature that can completely transform a kitchen’s look and feel.
At BCK Interiors, we design kitchens that balance style, durability, and everyday usability. From luxury quartz worktops to industrial Dekton finishes, these are the kitchen worktop trends we are seeing more and more of, illustrated through some of our recent bespoke projects.
Dark kitchen worktops for bold, contemporary kitchens
Dark kitchen worktops remain one of the most requested styles we design with. They create a dramatic, confident look and work beautifully in both modern and transitional kitchens.
In one recent project, Dekton Kelya worktops with a matching splashback were used to enhance a dark colour scheme throughout the space. The deep tone and subtle veining add visual interest while maintaining a sleek, cohesive finish.
Dekton worktops like Kelya are particularly popular for their durability, heat resistance, and low maintenance, making them ideal for busy households who want style without compromise.
Full-height splashbacks, a luxury kitchen trend that is here to stay
One of the strongest kitchen design trends we are seeing is the move towards full-height splashbacks, especially in quartz and porcelain surfaces.
A standout example features Artscut Calacatta Royal Gold Quartz worktops with a full-height splashback extending to the top of the cabinets.
This striking stone instantly elevates the kitchen, adding a sense of luxury and drama. It is also one of the most popular quartz worktop styles our clients choose, thanks to its bold veining and timeless appeal.
Mirror splashbacks, adding light, depth, and luxury
Mirror splashbacks are an increasingly popular choice for homeowners looking to add interest and elegance to their kitchen design.
In a dark, moody kitchen, a Bronze Vincenzo antique mirror splashback adds warmth, depth, and a refined sense of luxury. Paired with a Dekton Lunar splashback, the layered materials create a sophisticated, high-end look.
In contrast, a Smoked Grey mirror splashback was used in another project to reflect light throughout the kitchen subtly. This approach helps create a brighter, more open feel while still adding a touch of glamour.
Mirror splashbacks work particularly well in smaller kitchens or spaces with limited natural light.
Industrial kitchen worktops with durability at their core
Industrial-style kitchen worktops remain a strong trend, especially for homeowners seeking a contemporary edge with exceptional performance.
Dekton Trilium worktops offer an industrial-inspired aesthetic with rich texture and depth. Beyond their striking appearance, they provide outstanding durability, resisting heat, scratches, and stains. This makes them a practical choice for keen cooks who want a surface that can withstand everyday use while still looking effortlessly stylish.
Dekton worktops continue to grow in popularity due to their combination of design flexibility and long-term durability.
Choosing the right kitchen worktop for your home
While kitchen worktop trends offer plenty of inspiration, the right choice always comes down to how you use your kitchen and the style you want to achieve.
At BCK Interiors, we help you compare quartz worktops, Dekton surfaces, and splashback options to find the perfect balance of beauty and practicality. Our bespoke kitchen designs are tailored to your space, your lifestyle, and your taste.
