From Rustic To Radiant: MSI’S Village And Stella Subway Tiles

Subway tile has long been a design staple, celebrated for its clean lines and endless versatility. Today, that timeless favorite continues to evolve through innovative textures, formats, and finishes that capture both tradition and modernity. Our latest ceramic tile introductions bring this balance to life, offering homeowners and designers fresh ways to reimagine walls with warmth, color, and charm.

Our Village and Stella Collections showcase two distinct yet complementary sides of subway tile design. The Village Collection captures rustic character through artisanal texture and handcrafted detail, while the Stella Collection brings a radiant twist with mellow color and glossy sheen. All are Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified^®, supporting both beautiful and breathable interiors while offering inspiring possibilities—from cozy, organic spaces to bright, modern designs.

Village Collection

For those drawn to natural imperfections, our Village Collection captures the look and feel of handmade design in every detail. Each 4x12 glazed tile features subtle variation and texture that create depth and dimension across any wall surface.

The matte finish enhances its organic appeal, while the muted, weathered tones evoke a sense of heritage that feels both grounded and inviting. Ideal for indoor walls or covered outdoor settings, this collection brings artisanal craftsmanship into everyday spaces. As part of our broader ceramic tile lineup, the Village Collection complements natural materials like stone and wood, making it a versatile choice for transitional and rustic interiors alike.

Village Coral

Warm and welcoming, Village Coral radiates character with its rustic hue and handcrafted appeal. It’s perfect for cozy kitchen backsplashes, sun-drenched patios, or outdoor seating nooks protected from the elements. This 4x12 glazed wall tile offers a matte finish and V3 shade variation, adding dimension and depth to every installation.

Non-rectified edges lend a natural, handcrafted feel, while its 3/8" thickness ensures durability for residential and light commercial walls. With its rich tone and tactile finish, Village Coral infuses every space with personality.

Village Tildes

A softer take on rustic style, Village Tildes introduces soothing gray-blue undertones that elevate serene, spa-like settings. Its vertical layout option creates graceful visual flow in showers or accent walls, while the subtle surface texture adds a layer of natural refinement.

Ideal for interiors or covered exterior spaces, Village Tildes pairs effortlessly with wood tones, stone accents, and brushed metal fixtures for a look that’s both timeless and tranquil.

Stella Collection

Where Village channels rustic warmth, the Stella Collection brings light, playfulness, and modern polish. Offered in six radiant hues, each 2" x 10" glazed ceramic tile features a lustrous surface that reflects light beautifully, enhancing depth and movement.

Stella Blush

Romantic and refined, Stella Blush enchants with its delicate pink tone and luminous surface. The gentle pastel hue infuses softness into modern interiors, ideal for accent walls, vanities, or statement backsplashes. Its sleek finish enhances light reflection, while its minimal variation ensures a polished, cohesive look that feels as tasteful as it is contemporary.

Stella Emerald

Vibrant yet balanced, Stella Emerald adds a fresh, energizing pop of color to any design. The jewel-like green hue complements both stainless steel and natural stone, making it a striking choice for vertical subway tile installations behind grills, kitchen ranges, or outdoor bar areas. With its bright sheen and subtle shade consistency, this 2” x 10” ceramic wall tile creates an atmosphere that feels refined and refreshing.

Stella La Perla

The definition of understated grace, Stella La Perla pairs subtle pearl tones with a reflective finish that enhances brightness and depth.

The tile’s smooth face and low variation create a pristine canvas that works beautifully with modern neutrals or warm metallic accents.

Stella Oceano

Capturing the serenity of coastal design, Stella Oceano brings breezy blue tones and a glossy sheen to contemporary walls. Perfect above a kitchen range or in a beach-inspired bath, its gentle color variation creates subtle movement reminiscent of ocean water.
