Checkerboard tile floors are back in a big way, and they’re making homes across the Okanagan feel both timeless and fresh. This classic pattern has been a design staple for centuries, yet today it works just as well in modern kitchens, cozy bathrooms, and elegant entryways.
Why We Love Checkerboard
The appeal is simple: checkerboard tile floors instantly add structure, contrast, and personality to a room. Whether laid straight or on the diagonal, the pattern draws the eye and makes any space feel designed with intention.
