Chequerboard is equally impactful in both large and small-scale formats – whether you opt for quintessential monochrome or warm, earthy tones.

There’s something about chequerboard patterns that feels instantly familiar and timeless. The bold contrast of alternating black and white squares creates a striking visual that’s both balanced and dynamic. But what makes chequerboard tiles even more exciting today is how they’ve evolved. No longer just black and white, there’s a whole spectrum of colours, shapes, and sizes to explore, giving you endless ways to make it your own.

Take our Di Scacchi Tumbled Marble, for example. They’re bold, sophisticated, and unapologetically eye-catching. The Italian name Di Scacchi, meaning “chessboard”, really captures the spirit of this design, it’s all about those alternating squares that bring depth and life to a space.

But maybe you’re after something a little subtler, like Berlin Warm Grey / Sand Matt Porcelain. It’s chequerboard, yes, but in a more muted, calming way that still offers that classic balance without overpowering a room. And it’s not just about the design, tile size plays a huge role too. Larger tiles, like our Fitz collection, give off a modern, sleek vibe, while smaller options, like Kobi Satin Porcelain or our 100x100mm marble selection, create a cozier, more intimate feel.

What we love most about chequerboard tiles is how they offer a timeless foundation for whatever aesthetic you’re after. They’re versatile, so you can mix and match to suit your space.  Whether you want it bold, subtle, contemporary, or cozy, chequerboard tiles give you the freedom to create something that’s completely you.
