checkered floor

Two-tone tile pattern

A checkered floor has a pattern of alternating squares in two contrasting colors, typically black and white.

The design appears in kitchens, diners, and formal spaces like Masonic lodges.

The diner had a classic checkered floor and red vinyl booths.

The pattern creates visual rhythm and makes dirt less noticeable than solid colors would.
