Kitchen backsplashes today are done using many materials but the main one is still tile, and the trendiest type of tile backspalshes is a stacked one. By laying tiles on top of each other, you’ll create a pattern that looks both neat and striking, it’s a non-typical idea to go for as we usually see different patterns. Stacked tiles in the kitchen will make it look more polished, refined and elegant, even if you rock industrial style.
