Kitchens: Upstands and splashbacks????

Morning all

We're currently in the process of having our kitchen re-done and I'm in a little bit of a dilemma. We're not having wall tiles just an oak up stand to finish off the worktop and a stainless steel splash back behind the hob, now I don't know if I want the splash back on top of the up stand or on top of the worktop? The up stand is 80mm tall and about 20mm deep, the splash back is about 8m deep so if we have it flush with the top, they'll be a defined bit of up stand where its cut to make way with for the splash back but if we put the splash back sitting on top of the up stand, won't the oak get mucky and manky (obvs it'll be treated and cleaned regularly, will it even get too hot and go funny??).

So if you have up stands and a splash back, what have you done??

    We have an up stand around the edge and then our splash back is on top of the work top. I've flashed a pic below so you can see what I mean (excuse the mess our kitchen was still work in progress at this stage)! The gap is where our splashback is and then we had an upstand which matched our work tops!

    Yeah I'd have the splashback all the way to the worktop like Becklarr's photo.

    This is what I had been thinking but the carpenter said he usually does it so the splash back sits after the up stand.

    Thanks Ladies!

    Just to add mine is the same.

    We have oak upstands and a stainless steel splashback and the splashback sits flush with the work surface and there is a gap in the upstands.

    Defo splashback right down to the worktop, no upstand. This is what we do in our houses at work

    I have upstands all the way round but my steel splashback goes from worktop at the back of the hob all the way up. Less crevices for grease to collect and it looks neat.

    excuse the melon
