When redesigning our kitchen, we would like to cover the wall between the countertop and the upper cabinets – initially, of course, we thought of the Fastbo panels. However, we don't really like the color, plus they are only 50 cm wide, so there would always be joints. Now we had the idea to instead use cabinet doors from a tall cabinet, maybe in the same color as our desired front (Ringhult cream white). That means the aforementioned cabinet door would be laid horizontally against the wall on the countertop, fixed to the wall at the top with 2-3 screws. The base cabinets would be lowered enough to cover the screws – due to the thickness of the board, the cabinets would then hang at an angle. So I wouldn't screw the upper cabinet rails directly to the wall, but rather support them accordingly underneath. What do you think of this idea... :confused:

I am a tile favorite. With the Ringhult front, I would fear that it would not withstand cleaning behind the cooktop for long without becoming unsightly.

The idea that the surface behind the cooktop will eventually get ruined has something to it... But you could put a glass panel in front of it... Because as I have found out, others before me have had similar thoughts.

You just have to know what you like. I wouldn't find a niche cladding in the same color very nice and prefer contrasts, but that's a matter of taste. The glass panel would need to be sealed all around, otherwise water vapor and dirt will probably get between the glass panel and the Ringhult top surface.
