7 Black and White Checkered Floors Decor Ideas

Today I want to talk about a decorating trend that I have noticed and absolutely adore: the black and white checkered floors. There’s a certain elegance and sophistication that this tile trend brings to just about every room where it is installed! Most often, the checkered tiles are installed diagonally but there is a Scandinavian kitchen you’ll see below that has them installed vertically.

This floor design can be done with bright black tiles or faded tiles, with a glossy finish or left natural.

Black and White Checkered Floors

Let’s take a look at some of the most common rooms where I see black and white checkered floors installed!

Entryways

Want to make a stunning first impression? Consider doing your entryway or foyer flooring with this checkered look.

Bathrooms

Checkered floor tiles also work really well in the bathroom.

Hallways

These floors were glossed over to give them a shiny and upscale look.

Breakfast Nooks and Kitchens

I personally love the black and white checkered kitchen floor look the most! It gives the room a French feel to it.

    I LOVE black and white checkerboard floors – always wanted one in the kitchen of my 1900 shotgun home. I’d love the look of a “worn” and lived on floor. My kitchen is square with Benjamin Moore Van Deusen Blue walls, white cabinets and SS appliances. How would I know what size the squares should be? I’ve actually thought about painting the vinyl floor. Lots of thoughts – head spins with decisions. Thank you, my favorite is the Scandinavian Kitchen.

      I also adore the look of black and white checker floors! Good question about the tiles – it looks like most of the prettier ones are about one foot squared! I’m sure you could ask your local hardware shop for advice :) Good luck with your remodel!

    I am trying to replace a vinyl black and white checkered floor I put in my kitchen 20 years ago. Can’t find it now. Can you share where to purchase last 2 pictured ? Looking for high quality vinyl or ceramic 12×12. Not as concerned with price as how it looks.

    Thanks,
    Linda Murphy
