black and white floors, black and white striped rug in entryway

One of my preferred choices when it comes to statement flooring is a black and white floor.  From marble tile, painted hardwood floors, black and white tiles, there is a lot of options for black and white floors.  Quite often, when trying to bring impact to our home decor we focus on walls and ignore the floor when the solution could be as easy as adding an enduring black and white area rug.  Changing or improving your floor doesn’t always require a permanent change.   Consequently, the classic combination of black and white can either be interpreted in a modern rug or in a more permanent solution as the timeless checkerboard.

A hallway or entryway with a black and white floor is a design that never gets old, and it serves beautifully in either traditional or modern spaces.  Another benefit is the ability to enhance art, sculpture and wall moldings.  I compiled a few of my favorite spaces with black and white flooring for you to peruse and get inspired by, from a powder room that can transport your guests to a space where they can dream to a kitchen that is as unique as it could be.
