checkerboard floor

Black-white tile pattern

A checkerboard floor has tiles arranged in an alternating two-color pattern, typically black and white, resembling the game board.

The style appears in classical architecture, diners, and entryways: The old barbershop had a checkerboard floor.

The pattern creates visual interest through simple geometric contrast.
