Find kitchen tiles for designing unique wall applications Backsplashes are very important to homeowners who love to cook. These are made up of tiles that extend up the wall from the counter; they can be anywhere from four inches high to a couple of feet (like behind the stove). The backsplash serves to protect the walls from splatters and stains but also adds a decorative element to the kitchen.
