Black and White Pattern Floors

April 22, 2013 by Jane F 2 Comments

black and white pattern floor - kitchen with geometric checkerboard floor - arkpad via AtticmagBlack and white pattern floors have a two-for one value — pattern and neutrality.

One aspect of modern home spaces is the simplification of surfaces. On floors, that can mean embellishment without traditional layers. Perhaps that’s why we’re seeing an increased number black and white pattern floors of floors with integral patterns instead of plain floors with rugs on them. Hard surfaces such as ceramic, stone or vinyl tile is easy to maintain and harbor less dust and allergy-producing mites than soft coverings. While black and white checkerboard patterns have long been a foyer staple as well as a neutral. Even more intricate patterns look especially dynamic. A handsome kitchen [top] with vintage-style latch-door cabinets introduces a variation on the large scale black-and-white checkerboard floor theme. Plain white field tiles alternate with stylized floral tiles. Because the patterned tiles are set point-to-point, the floor appears to run both on a grid and diagonally.

A solid white kitchen floor keeps the look consistent right up to the knockout punch of vivid blue combined with black on the cement-tile backsplash.

And, because all the other surfaces and fixtures are white, the floor pays for itself visually.

    Hi tlc,

    I don’t have an exact source for the first photo but Granada Tile’s Echo collection cement tiles look like a good solution that can likely give you a very similar look. They have a visualizer that shows all the different patterns and you can change colors to see how the design will look.

    Here’s the link to Granada Tile:

    The second floor, as indicated in the post, is vinyl parquet by Neisha Crosland. The only source I have for that is Harvey Maria, in England but they may be able to steer you to a US dealer. Here is the link:

    One of my good friends is going through the same thing in Seabright, NJ. Whole first floor was under water. Best of luck to you with your reno. Jane
