Checks, please. 🤍
One of our favourite parts of designing a custom home is finding those details that give a space personality without making it feel like it belongs to a particular trend or moment in time.
Enter the checkerboard floor.
Checks may be trending right now, but they’re far from new. This classic pattern has been used in interiors for centuries, which is exactly why we love it. It can feel traditional, contemporary, playful or sophisticated depending on the materials, scale and colour combination you choose.
In these homes, the checks create just enough contrast to make a statement, while still sitting beautifully within the home’s timeless palette.
Black and white might be the classic, but checkerboard floors can be created in soft neutrals, warm creams and terracottas, greens, greys or natural stone combinations allowing us to interpret the look specifically for the home and the people who live there.
Because when we help our clients through the home design process, we’re not simply selecting finishes that look beautiful together. We’re looking for opportunities to add character, personality and those unexpected details that make their home feel distinctly theirs.
Trends come and go. Great details have staying power.
