Stacked tiles are among the major trends in home decor, they are the new classics. Stacked tiles will easily give a trendy feel to your kitchen if you place them on the backsplash or the whole wall. Stacked tiles are usually quite skinny ones, and you may clad them vertically or horizontally, and play with textures, too. Let’s find out more about stacked tiles in the kitchen.
