Checkered Floor: A Timeless Classic

I’m a big fan of black and white checkered floor. They can transform any interior into a timeless classic beauty.  Checkerboard floor or checker pattern dates back thousands of years as they started being used as a visual motif in many different ways from pottery to textiles, to ceramic to of course floors.  It’s probably safe to say that the checkerboard pattern started as complex diamond patterns installed in intrinsically complicated ways that can date as back as A.D. 9.  So the checkered floor comes from way back then as you can see, hence it’s more than timeless, it’s the real deal.   Black and white checkered floor can be used in many types of home styles from painted floors found in more informal to stones or marble found in classic formal homes.
