Black and white is always right for this designer, especially when it comes to floors. Black and white checkerboard – and its variations – have dressed a number of our BHDM projects. Beyond the geometric classic, black and white tiles in all patterns are here to help dress up your space.

For our round up of some of our favorite black and white tiles, we went straight to sources you can order yourself, no designer trade account required. These pack a lot of look, many in durable finishes like printed ceramic and durable stones. Read the fine print, and while you do, consider some of these finds for your bath, kitchen or even entry hall, for an update on classic black and white.
