Kitchen tiles and worktop idea's

i have decided on getting light green high gloss kitchen units from ikea, I was wondering what colour splash back for behind the hob and also what colour worktop? white is lovely but with a family of 6 would it get stained quickly? just would like a few idea's

Green sounds gorgeous!!! I have white gloss (north facing coldish kitchen) and love the shine :-)
We have white glass splash backs - and no issue with staining... only 2 of us though, so not a lot of serious cooking though. They look great after a year. Get the odd wipe down, nothing else needed!

Our worktops are melamine blue/grey mix, kind of an aged wood effect. Sounds awful but looks great - pretty clean and modern. Apart from granite, probably easiest to keep. Marble stains quite badly, I also looked at concrete and stainless steel - but apparently they mark very easily too. A light grey corian or white/silvery quartzite might work with your green?

Just something to be aware of with Ikea kitchen units, you will need to use a 63 cm wide worktop , which limits you to Ikea's own worktops or a custom made worktop as standard width is 60 cm

thank you, will look at Ikea's worktops this saturday, making the journey up, the white quartz sounds good will see if Ikea has something like that
