How to paint checkerboard floors to create a smart, fashionable finish

Black and white checkerboard flooring in kitchen.

Do you want to know how to paint classic checkerboard floors? Then you’ve come to the right place. Here, we guide you through the process of giving wood flooring an on-trend checkerboard finish. 

It's a straightforward DIY project that will add a stylish and distinctive finish to any room. You can go with the classic black-and-white color combo or stray from the standard. Why not try a dark blue and a light gray on your bathroom flooring or a light gray and dark gray in your hallway?

And it's not just the colors you can play with. If you want something slightly different to the timeless straight checkerboard finish, try a diamond pattern to add a twist that will ooze and style and class.
