Chequerboard tiles

If you’re drawn to the timeless appeal of chequerboard tiles, you’ll find endless ways to make this classic pattern your own. From traditional black and white marble floors to softer pairings in warm neutrals and earthy tones, our chequerboard tile collection celebrates the beauty of natural stone and porcelain through carefully considered combinations.

For those seeking a truly classic look, marble is the natural choice. The crisp white tones of Bluestone and Calacatta Tumbled Marble come together in our pre-mixed Di Scacchi to create a striking monochrome floor that feels equally at home in a Victorian hallway or a contemporary kitchen. If you prefer a softer interpretation, the warm limestone tones of Dijon Di Scacchi offer a more understated take on the chequerboard pattern. It’s a look that can be adapted in countless ways, as explored in Di Scacchi at Home, where the enduring appeal of chequerboard is brought into a range of considered interiors.

Chequerboard floor tiles also bring character to bathrooms without overwhelming the space. Pairing Calacatta Amber with Porcini Emperador creates a warm, inviting palette that complements natural timber cabinetry and aged brass fittings. For a bolder scheme, combine Fitz Claret Honed Marble with Ceppo Sicilia to introduce rich colour, texture and natural movement underfoot, working beautifully in both classic and contemporary interiors.

For a more modern interpretation, small-format porcelain tiles deliver the same iconic pattern with exceptional durability and ease of maintenance. Collections such as Kobi and Portman can be paired to create crisp chequerboard layouts that suit contemporary spaces while retaining the timeless geometry that has made this design a favourite for generations.

Whether you’re restoring a period property or designing a modern home, chequerboard tiles provide a versatile foundation that never goes out of style. By thoughtfully combining complementary natural stone or porcelain tiles, you can create a floor that feels timeless, characterful and uniquely your own.
