A CLASSIC THAT GROUNDS A SPACE

Checkerboard tile has endured for generations because it brings order, rhythm, and balance to a room. Handcrafted in Minneapolis, each 4×4 tile carries subtle variation that softens the graphic pattern and gives it depth—so the result feels lived-in, not rigid.
Whether used on a powder room floor, entryway, or kitchen backsplash, this checkerboard creates a foundation that supports the rest of the design without overpowering it.
