Tile backsplashes were initially designed to protect countertops and walls from spills and spatters. Today, the backsplash is a central design feature in any modern kitchen and should never be an afterthought. Where style and practicality are concerned, modern backsplashes do double-duty. Without skimping on either looks or function, a backsplash does wonders to enhance both the practicality and beauty your kitchen.

With a myriad of materials, colors, and textures to play with, the style options are limitless. To help you envision your dream kitchen, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite backsplash designs. From crystallized glass to marble, there’s a gorgeous wall tile from MSI that will take your kitchen into the next stratosphere of style.
