On one hand, a retro design, an aesthetic that showcases the interplay of black and white tiles in a timeless yet old-school style. On the other hand, a duo that has made a comeback among the 2026 tile trends, now much more than just black and white. Checkerboard floors are a trend we saw everywhere in 2025 and will continue to assert itself in 2026. But have you ever considered how this trend would look if you incorporated it into your bathroom and contrasted it with different interior design styles? Shall we explore some dualities with you?
Attractive Checkerboard Bathroom Floors for Every Design
Modern Bathroom with Gray and White Checkerboard
Gray and white tiles are a common pairing in bathroom designs that incorporate modern and minimalist elements. When this coolness is the preferred approach, pairing them with cooler-toned color palettes can create a futuristic modernity. However, if you want to break this modernism a bit, a design like a checkerboard bathroom floor and warm lighting can make your bathroom more welcoming.
Japandi Bathroom with Natural Stone Checkerboard
Continuing with minimalism-based interior design styles, I’d undoubtedly rank a second in a Japandi bathroom, inspired by nature. It features wooden walls and bathroom decor, along with breathtaking plants, and a checkerboard flooring that normally draws attention, all incorporating natural stone tiles. This design, which allows for the incorporation of every element of nature into your bathroom, can be achieved by using black slate and a second, more earthy color.
Mediterranean Bathroom with Terracotta Checkerboard Floors
Now, I know it may be hard to imagine. But, imagine a Mediterranean bathroom with a checkerboard bathroom floor of cream limestone and warm terracotta floor tiles. Also, you can enhance the overall image of the bathroom by using a bronze claw-foot tub, plaster walls, and an arched niche with terracotta pots, woven baskets. That’s what an Italian village feels like, as a bathroom tile design. With olive oil scented soaps and all the airy aesthetic of the Mediterranean.
Scandinavian Bathroom with Red Marble Floor
Would you have thought of this checkerboard bathroom floor combination? I doubt it, but hear me out. Wouldn’t it be nice if you added a characterful, easily distinguishable detail to a minimal and simple design like the Scandinavian interior style? Simplicity doesn’t always have to come with a dull image. You can rewrite all the rules with a red marble tile in a checkerboard.
Mid Century Bathroom with Travertine on Floor
Would you like to revive the resurgent mid-century modern design by combining a retro design like checkerboard tile with modern bathroom details? Travertine tiles will not only provide the warm, high-quality aesthetic you desire, but also provide the functionality you desire in bathroom tiles by ensuring they are perfectly suited to your floor.
Industrial Loft Bathroom with Limestone on Checkerboard
Let’s imagine something bolder, like an industrial bathroom. Have you ever seen a loft bathroom with graphite slate and ivory limestone checkerboard floor? So, if you haven’t, what about creating it together? Match them with concrete walls and exposed copper pipes. Include a freestanding tub, reclaimed-wood vanity, your tea tree scented skincare bottles, scented candles, and new orchids you are still trying to keep alive. That’s a combined living space, combining all the welcoming vibes with a colder, bolder attitude.
Have Fun at the Hotel-Like Bathroom with Checkerboard Marble Floors

I understand your inspiration and your instinct to feel like you’re living in a luxury hotel every day, thanks to the harmony of black and white tiles.

Coastal Bathroom with Blue Marble Floor
A really big fan of the ocean? Or just want to live with the aesthetic of the waves, in general? Let’s speak about a coastal luxury bathroom featuring a checkerboard bathroom floor of sandstone and pale blue marble. If you’d like to level up your coastal bathroom design, think about adding a rattan bench, woven baskets, and open shelves with sea-salt scrubs, lotions, and fresh towels.

Still reeling from your Paris trip last month and still wanting to see traces of Paris, the city of love, everywhere you look? I think I know the perfect way to do it.
