Checkmate

The same way checkmate is the ultimate victory in chess; checkerboard floors are a big winner in beautiful interior design! At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love to infuse the homes we design with timeless elegance and personal flair that reflect each client’s unique individuality. Checkerboard floors are a fantastic option to create a truly show-stopping space. A flooring mainstay since before the Renaissance, this style is always stunning in a chic, glamourous, retro-Hollywood kind of way. Though the bold pattern has a strong presence in a room, it also acts as a neutral in that it supports statement décor elements without fighting for attention. These images highlight some gorgeous ways to incorporate this look and feel into your home. Whether an accent application or a larger expanse of space, both marry beautifully with fabulous art, accessories, furnishings, fixtures, and architecture. The result is a one-of-a-kind environment that speaks directly to the homeowner’s signature style. There is also a fun and playful vibe that comes through with this pattern – who else would be tempted to set up a life-sized game of chess or hopscotch through your living room?! Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors have you saying checkmate about your winning home design with the addition of checkerboard floors!
