As much as I like the spectator look in fashion (which is a lot!) I also like it in flooring. Once upon a time I owned a condo in which most of the first floor was done in black and white tile. It was that way when I moved in…and it soon became one of my favorite things.
I especially loved the way bright colors contrasted against the flooring. In fact, I eventually added magenta towels to the powder bath – and thought they were the perfect touch.
Although I moved away from my condo several years ago, and have changed decorating styles drastically since then…I still love good black and white flooring. The following are some inspiring kitchens with this design element. What design elements or details inspire you?

♥ jemina – I love that you’re a lighting girl too! My husband laughs at all of the uplights, downlights, lamps, etc… that we have in our home. But I think it just makes the home seem happier!

I love the black and white. I’ve had it before in a place I used to live in. I think now I lean towards very light, pickled/washed wood, or ebony wood floors. But these images and homes are amazing.

I love the black and white chequerboard floor, I’ve been thinking of black and white victorian tiles for my dining room. I agree about bright colours contrasting beautifully against this floor. I design vibrant patchwork chairs and am always looking for good backdrops to take photos of my chairs, I think my dining room will need to double up as a studio!
♥ Kelly Swallow – I was just on your site. First off, your designs are gorgeous! You are quite talented! And I agree, I think your chairs would look great against a black and white floor. I bet it would make those bright fabrics pop even more! Thanks so much for your comment.
