The Best Way to Alter the Image of a Room

Whether you choose painting, staining, tile or linoleum to create it, a checkerboard floor can be an outstanding addition to you home design. As a child, I can recall when my mother decided to fulfil her lifelong dream of having a checkerboard floor as the kitchen floor. Considering she was always so conservative about the selection of the flooring in our homes up until that point, I was surprised and a tad concerned. But low and behold, it turned out so well that it became our favourite feature of the house, and the envy of mothers throughout our neighbourhood.

As it was then, it is now. A checkerboard floor will create a new feel for your kitchen, mudroom, or bathroom. There are endless possibilities of pattern combinations and colour combinations. While the black and white formula is by far the most popular, you are in no way restricted to this timeless choice. This will result in a personalized and interesting space.

In fact, while many people tend to overlook this option, switching the flooring in a room is one of the best ways to change a rooms image. I have yet to see a checkerboarded floor that did not demand attention, or win the approval of all who see it. With this selection you will have the knowledge of its history of success, but the excitement of being the brave one on the block to actually do it.
