Interior Inspiration

Get Inspired: Checkerboard Floors in Different Ways

July 27, 2022
  • Share

Checkerboard floors are trending in interior design again. But did they ever go out of style? Designers are incorporating the classic pattern into kitchens, bathrooms, foyers, and mud rooms. There are so many ways to add a pattern to your home. The classic pattern takes the basic room from boring to beautiful. Checkered floors elevate a space by adding dimension. Different tones and color combinations will have different impacts. Muted tiles will create a soft and charming design. While bold colors will add playfulness and whimsical textures. See some of the COCOCOZY team’s favorite rooms that have checkerboard floors below.

Instead of the classic black and white checkered color palette, this kitchen features a brown and white tile pattern. It complements the rustic style kitchen and gives the room a charming accent floor.

Checkerboard flooring and tiles have been seen in art and pottery dating back to 1500 B.C. Throughout the centuries, the style has been utilized in different structures including in ancient Rome and Egyptian hieroglyphics. Today, the trending pattern is a wardrobe staple and a classic flooring for modern designs. Checkerboard patterns don’t just stop at interior design. It also expands to fashion and home decor.

You don’t need a perfectly styled table or a dozen new pieces to make a fall gathering feel special. Start with what you already have and layer in a few simple details.
Think woven placemats + simple white plates + gingham napkins + fresh greenery. Add clear glassware and a simple centerpiece, and you have a table that feels warm, collected, and ready for dinner with friends.
The best part? Most of these elements can work beyond fall, too. Just switch out the napkin pattern or greenery and you have a completely different look.
Save this for your next fall gathering and use it as a starting point for your own table. 🤎

The spaces that get it right pair it with warm oak, aged brass, and something worn-in: an antique dresser, a vintage runner, a hand-thrown vase.
