Modern interiors with black and white floor tiles, pluses of contrasting design

Black and white floor tiles can be used for interior design in a variety of styles - from "pop art" to "classics." This versatility is simply explained: the base colors are on opposite edges of the spectrum and can be successfully combined with almost any other shade - both from the “cold” and “warm” segments.

When choosing a black and white floor tile, it should be taken into account that this option refers to contrasting solutions, therefore it is better to use it in rooms where people do not spend too much time - halls, hallways, etc. But for the bedroom it is better to buy material in neutral colors. In our catalog you can easily find the right high-quality tile at an affordable price. We sell not only through the online store, but also through a network of company stores in Moscow.

What are the benefits of contrasting tiles?

The main features of black and white design - rigor and elegance. But the presence of contrasting colors is not enough. It is necessary to use them correctly in order to harmonize.

The union of white and black gives the following advantages:

  • Classic style. Black and white will never go out of style, because the demand for tiles of these shades will always remain.
  • Universality. They are used for modern stylistic trends (hi-tech, minimalism) and for classical styles.
  • White and black are antagonists. The reception of contrast in design is one of the common ones, and these representatives of the color gamut are the best performers of this role.
  • With the right use of white and its dominance, a visual expansion of the room is achieved, and neglect of black will make the room uncomfortable.
  • The ability to highlight interior elements on a black and white background.

Important! Do not recommend using too bright interior elements, so as not to lose focus on the flooring.

Black and white flooring options

Tiles on the floor are ceramic, porcelain, PVC, etc. All this does not really matter. The main thing is how to use a combination of white and black tiles. There are lots of options. It is worth briefly dwelling on everyone.

  • Chess order. The reception is classic and suitable for any interior. Especially combined in the interior with classic furniture made of solid wood.
Checkerboard pattern with heterogeneous dark tiles
  • Diagonal chess order. It is used when it is necessary to visually push the walls. This technique is used in bathrooms and in the bathroom.
  • "Herringbone". Tiles should be in the form of rectangular dies. Stacked in two options: combined chevrons or one color.
Herringbone
  • "Network". A kind of "Christmas tree". Matte gray tiles are used, with which the best result is achieved.
Wicker coating structure using gray accents
  • Strip. It is used when the room is narrow and a visual shift of the side walls is required. Focusing on the stripes allows you to think that the room is wider, while the installation is simple.
  • White floor with black accents. It belongs to the category of white dominance, which allows to make the room brighter. Place small black inserts between the octagonal white tiles. Or use a square shape, but in this case they are tilted to the walls.
  • "Accent". It does not mean the alternation of colors, but the accented division into zones. For example: in the kitchen, place the dining table in black tiles.
  • Drawing. It will not be possible to make a complex drawing, but laying out simple abstract figures is quite possible.

Combination tile black and white floor is laid in different ways, which are used depending on the type of room.

Black and white tiles in the interior

Black and white will forever remain in the arsenal of designers. They were used to decorate the rooms in the classical style, they are also used for the latest stylistic trends, which is explained by respectability and high cost. On the other hand, they create an excellent background for highlighting bright design elements. Often there is a similar design in the kitchen, bathroom and toilet.

Bathroom design

In the bathroom, the tiling does not end on the floor, but goes onto the walls. The bathroom in contrasting colors looks elegant.

Here are some recommendations for arranging a bathroom in a fashionable and stylish way:

  • A small bathroom should have glossy white tiles and a small amount of black, so as not to cause a visual narrowing of the space.
  • Equal contrasting tones are preferred for large bathrooms.
  • The bathroom should have a lot of lighting, because in addition to ceiling lights, wall ones are used. The geometric shapes of the fixtures are simple. Perfectly combined chrome elements and a golden hue.
  • Images of contrasting tones are present in plumbing. The tone of the sinks, bathtub and shower match the white tiles.

Kitchen

Recently, less and less homeowners trim floors in black and white, and even more so use tiles of such tones for walls. They think it's overkill and bring gloom.

A similar effect will occur if the material is used improperly. If you wish, you can make the interior sophisticated and not annoying, allotting for one color half the space.

In the center of the kitchen, place a decorative panel with a black pattern, which is mounted on a white tile floor. On the contour of the floor laid out black tiles of smaller widths, creating the outlines of the room. At the same time, it should be holistic, not remain under the headset and other elements, have an equal indent from walls and furniture.

Design Tips

Based on the foregoing, we can note several features of a harmonious and concise design of the premises in a contrasting black and white palette:

  • Small rooms should contain a lot of light. The lack of natural light is compensated by artificial sources. It is possible to perform zoning by lighting using dimmed lights.
  • If the room is not very large, then the predominance of white over black should be felt. In spacious rooms, you can not focus on one of the tones.
  • For the bathroom, the location of the mirrors is important. They should reflect light areas of the cladding.
  • Minimal use of dark tones is achieved with the help of ornaments. So the interior looks more interesting, but there is no psychological overload.

No wonder black and white are the colors of Yin-Yang. They harmonize with each other and succinctly fit into any interior.

Black, white and more

Black and white colors in the interior, despite the seeming ordinaryness and dullness, are actually stylish and even daring. No wonder they are quite often used precisely in modern styles - hi-tech, minimalism. These two colors are perfectly combined with clearly defined lines, they require a minimum of decorations and accessories - moreover, they themselves can become details decorating a room.

The rooms, decorated in black and white style, do not seem gloomy or too bright. On the contrary, they seem to radiate a special energy, make the rooms alive, even juicy. This color combination makes you focus on the details, and therefore any decorative elements will immediately catch your eye. And the flaws, by the way, too.

On a note! White is far from the warmest color. Of course, a room decorated in black and white will look bright, but still it is a rather specific combination that has certain features.

Black and white room decoration

Black and white colors in the interior, especially for flooring, are most often used in "cool" rooms. This is a kitchen, a corridor, a bathroom. Tile immediately comes to mind, however, a floor trimmed with a laminate or an engineering board may also be black and white. Some believe that black and white floors are too difficult to fit into the interior, but this is far from the case.

The snow-white edging of the furniture in the form of a ceiling and walls with double dubbing in black and decor in gray tones looks very creative

By the way, do not use black and white in the interior in equal proportions - this will cause irritation. However, floors with a checkerboard pattern, where both black and white are used in equal amounts, will look quite harmonious.

Design Tips in Black and White

Floor, wall, ceiling and black and white flooring

Black and white flooring is ideal for bathroom and kitchen. Therefore, special attention will be paid to precisely these rooms in the apartment. But for the sake of justice it is worth saying also about bedrooms and halls. Here, black and white floors will also look pretty nice if you successfully select the flooring material and other finishing materials.

The idea of ​​floor and ceiling decor in a black and white kitchen

On a note! If you purchase a laminate of dark and light colors, and during the installation of the cover alternate the lamellas or lay them with a Christmas tree, then you can get interesting patterns.

In such a room, it is best to trim the walls with dense wallpaper with a predominance of light colors. A monophonic light finish of three walls will look good, if the fourth has a large pattern of dark color. The ceiling is best done in white.

In a bathroom it is best to use a tile. To make the appearance of the coating non-standard, you can experiment with the shape, size, pattern of the masonry. “Zebra” looks very cool in the bathroom - in this case, stripes of black and white colors alternate with each other.

Black and white floor with applique

Particularly interesting is the black-and-white pattern enclosed in a marble frame around the perimeter.

In the kitchen with a black and white floor, white furniture with a dark countertop will look good. Black and white combo headsets also look great. It is undesirable to use completely dark, as the room can turn out gloomy. But in good lighting, headsets and tables may be black. Bright and flashy colors, even with small inclusions, are undesirable to use here.

Black and white glossy kitchen - continued in reflection

Attention! Interior items and wall decoration should not match the pattern with a black and white floor pattern. Otherwise, you will get a “screaming” bad taste. Yes, and on the emotional state of a person, such a combination acts negatively, causing irritation.

Black and white flooring

Suppose a final decision is made to use black and white shades in the interior of a room and to make the floor in the same color scheme. But how to make the latter interesting and memorable, and not just striking? Here you can experiment with styling drawings - options can be as follows.

    Chess - the most familiar and understandable kind of black and white pattern (however, not only black and white). It is as simple as possible using ordinary tile. Quite often, this floor design is found in the style of minimalism. By the way, it is not necessary that the shape of the flooring elements is exactly square. If you lay the oblong laminate planks with a “checkerboard”, you can get a rather unusual composition.

The tile is staggered.

Tile Laying Schemes

On a note! Various contrasting patterns can be made on the floor. The main thing is that they have clear lines, be harmonious, combine with the interior and do not look sloppy.

Black and white combos, graphic or geometric patterns

In general, there are a lot of variations in styling and painting various floor coverings in black and white. You can apply a little imagination, and then the horizons of using these shades will become truly limitless.

Quality coating selection

An important condition for creating a beautiful black and white floor is a quality floor covering. As such, PVC, ceramic or stone tiles, laminate, parquet or engineering board can be used - in general, almost any type of flooring.

Advice! For apartments located on the ground floor, as well as for private houses in which there is no floor heating system, it is recommended to use a laminate as a floor covering. This is the warmest kind of finishing material for the floor.

Tile laying - preparatory work

Since tile is the most common type of floor finish in terms of color, it should be considered exactly its installation. However, before starting work on installation of the coating, it is important to carry out preparatory measures. They include the preparation of the necessary tools, as well as cleaning the floor from the old coating and leveling.

DIY floor leveling

To create a black and white floor you will need:

  • rubber hammer and ordinary,
  • hammer drill
  • building level,
  • tape measure and pencil
  • screwdriver,
  • spatulas - sharp and serrated,
  • tile cutter
  • crosses dividers.

Tile Tools

Materials that are necessary for laying tiles on the floor:

  • tile adhesive
  • waterproofing material
  • the mixture is self-leveling,
  • floor tiles in black and white.

Materials and tools are listed only the most basic, but some may not be needed. It all depends on the initial state of the floor, the room as a whole, and on some other factors.

The first step is to prepare the rough floor. It is cleaned of the old flooring, if any. You can remove it using a hammer, rotary hammer and other tools. The corners are especially carefully worked out. Further, all debris is removed from the surface, all cracks are necessarily closed. If necessary, the curvature of the floor is corrected - for this it is most convenient to use a self-leveling mixture.

Attention! Waterproofing is mandatory, if it is planned to lay floors with a heating system.

Laying black and white tiles

After the floors have been prepared, you can start laying directly the tiles on the floor.

Step 1. First of all, a pattern is schematically depicted on paper, which should be obtained on the floor after laying the tiles.

Schematic Pattern Example

Step 2 Next, the tile of black and white flowers is laid out on a dry prepared floor according to the selected pattern pattern. Pencil notes are made on the draft floor, which will then be convenient to navigate.

Tiles are laid out without glue

On a note! On sale there are also such types of tiles in which black and white colors are already included in the range of flooring.

Step 3 The adhesive for the tile is evenly applied to the floor, as well as to the back of the tile, but in small quantities.

Application of adhesive to the base

Tile glue is available in a wide range, and it is not easy for a novice master to make a choice. But a correctly selected composition is a guarantee that the tile will not move under loads, and the coating will last more than one year. Our special article help make the right choice!

Step 4 Further, the surface of the glue on the rough floor is leveled with a wide notched trowel.

Step 5 If the glue got on the previous row of already laid tiles, it is carefully removed until it has time to dry.

Excess adhesive must be removed immediately.

Step 6 The tile is laid on the surface with adhesive applied.

Tile laying process

Step 7 The tile is pressed on top, crosses-dividers are inserted into the joints between it and the previous row - left and right.

Plastic dividers are inserted into joints

Step 8 Similarly, the entire tile is laid. In this case, it is necessary to lay, carefully aligning all the joints so that there is no bias and violation of the geometry. After drying the masonry (after about 3 days), the seams are overwritten with a special sealing compound.

Advice! Before starting to lay the tile on the floor, the rough surface is best primed. Then the adhesion of glue with it will be much better. And tile laying should begin from the angle that is clearly visible at the entrance to the room. Otherwise, in this place there may be scraps of tiles that will catch the eye and spoil the impression of repair.

Black and white checkerboard floor tiles

Black and white interiors never bother. The theme of a chessboard on the floor is one of the most versatile and elegant ideas for interior design - it represents dynamics while maintaining harmony. How to organize a project to take advantage of the symmetrical statement of a black and white combination?

The checkerboard pattern on the floor, depending on the additives, will look traditional or eccentric. The chess on the floor matches the retro style and is associated with the American fashion of the 50s, and, contrasting with the wooden floors and pastel colors of the walls, it creates a room in a rustic style. Ascetic black and white is also suitable for simple minimalist furniture and industrial interiors. And if you add a bright graphic accessory to such a room, you can create an interior in the style of pop art.

Checkerboard tiles are a great idea for a classic kitchen. It looks interesting - a symmetrical tile floor with large black and white tiles (for example, 30 x 30 cm) and the same pattern, laid out with small tiles (for example, 10 x 10 cm) on the wall. In order not to overload the interior, it is better to cover with such a pattern only part of the wall, for example, on the kitchen apron. For a kitchen with a smaller size, it is better to opt for small plates. Spacious rooms can be decorated with large, contrasting tiles.

This floor works great, in particular for Scandinavian interiors. Why? Scandinavian interiors are usually drowned in white. Often, white walls and cabinets, as well as neutral-colored countertops and floors, become somewhat dull. A black and white pattern on the floor will help get rid of boredom.

The black and white floor in the Scandinavian interior adds elegance and blends perfectly with other design features such as a fireplace and piano. Although Scandinavian interior design is based on cool colors, you can feel the warmth in such a house using various additives in brown and warm beige tones. It can be wicker baskets and chairs, atmospheric lanterns, flowers and many paintings on the walls.

A chessboard is the dominant element in the interior, so when choosing in its favor, it is worth the rest of the surface and furniture to choose in neutral colors to maintain harmony. Compliance with moderation is not a strict rule; people who like colorful interiors can emphasize originality with yellow, red or blue accessories. Chairs and lamps, however, should be the same color and have a smooth texture.

In rectangular bathrooms, it is better to stack a chessboard directly or obliquely. The location of the tile parallel to the side walls makes the room visually ordered and gives a modern style.

For rooms of less regular shape and not having perpendicular corners, it will be advantageous to arrange the tiles with diamonds or obliquely. Such a pattern is somewhat more difficult to obtain, but it allows you to mask irregularities, creating a sense of harmony and lightness. He can also visually expand the room, increasing the floor area.

What additives are suitable for a chess floor?

In addition to using tiles on the floor, we must choose something from additives with a checkerboard motif - from kitchen towels to carpets. Jewelry can be made independently, for example:

  • paintings and photographs in simple frames in the collage technique,
  • a quilt on a bed with two colors,
  • geometric patterns on textiles - these can be bedspreads or curtains.

Why use a chess theme in a home?

  • a chessboard floor is a strong accent that distracts attention from uneven walls and floors,
  • dirt on the black and white floor is less noticeable
  • a chessboard is an excellent motive for zoning a space, for example, intended for a living room, kitchen or bar,
  • the location of the black and white mosaic obliquely visually expands the space, thanks to this, we can get the best proportions of the interior, the room can be visually expanded or extended,
  • A chessboard is an eternal pattern that suits many styles and patterns.

Black and white kitchen tile on the floor - classic or art deco?

Black and white colors love the classics, in addition, they will also find a suitable place in the Art Deco style, as their main characteristic is elegance. The dining room or kitchen with black and white tiles on the floor, decorated in accordance with the standards of the classical style or art deco are characterized by elegance and sophistication. The best way to achieve this effect is to use these two colors at the same time. In addition, the chessboard also looks good in the bathroom. Interestingly presented are the longitudinal stripes in the hallway and living room.

This solution is often used in problem areas - for example, a hall that is too narrow, a corridor or a room can be visually expanded if you place transverse stripes perpendicular to long walls on the floor, this technique visually expands the space, and if you do the opposite, it will make it longer.

Longitudinal stripes in contrasting colors on the floor make the room longer visually, photo

Square tiles can also be used to separate areas in the apartment, for example, to separate the kitchen from the dining room, the dining room from the living room, or to emphasize a room in the house.

How to use small black and white tiles and mosaics in the interior?

If the floor is covered with expressive mosaic in black and white, what colors are ideal for such a solution? In this case, one should observe moderation and choose soft colors in the interior that are not too flashy. It’s better to focus on pastel shades, and to make the interior in harmony with the mosaic floor, you can cover part of the wall with lovely tile similar to the floor, preferably white, black or gray.

Choosing a black and white tile, it is not necessary to choose a pattern resembling a chessboard, you can try to match the tile in two sizes.

Small tiles and mosaics can also decorate the living room, covering the central wall or part of it. Not only do these elements go well with a checkerboard or diamond pattern on the floor, they are also great for wooden furniture, wooden floors or their imitations.

Decoration Features

The contrasting combination of black and white has been used by designers for a long time. This is a classic technique that does not lose relevance and originality from season to season. Many people consider such a duet boring and monotonous, but in fact the black and white finish looks rhythmic, stylish and spectacular. The above colors are achromatic colors. They are in harmony with other tones and shades. Ceramic floor tiles painted in classic tandem are often used in minimalism and high-tech styles. There are many methods for stacking dies. Colors on different sides of the spectrum emphasize and complement each other at the same time.

The design balances between a too faded and light decor, as well as a gloomy atmosphere. This is the golden mean, combining the severity and richness of black with purity and radiance of white.

Design Benefits

The characteristic of the black and white floor is elegance, expressiveness and severity. The size of the dies can be varied, as well as their texture and location on the floor.

Experts highlight the main advantages of using tiles in a classic color:

  • Universal decor. Finishing material fits into various stylistic directions: both modern and classic.
  • Classic. The combination of black and white will always be relevant and appropriate. Using this technique, you can not worry that it will go out of fashion.
  • Contrast. Reception of contrast presents color from the best side, revealing its richness and fullness. Designers often use combinations of different colors for greater decorativeness.
  • Rhythm. Alternation creates a dynamic that makes the overall look more spectacular and spectacular.

Colors can have equal meaning or one acts as the primary. The tile, where the dominant color is white, is ideal for miniature rooms, especially if there is a lack of lighting. Light color will serve as a visual enhancement of contrast, and black will focus on the finish of the floor and break the monotony of the monophonic coating. If you want to focus on achromatic tiles, refuse to use bright and catchy decorative elements that will catch the eye. Shades of gray, beige or brown are ideal as an additional color. It is not recommended to use more than 3-4 shades when decorating one room.

Finishing material in the interior

Regardless of fashion trends, black and white color will always be used in the field of decoration. In any area of ​​a residential building, such a combination will look successful and quite appropriate. A duo of achromatic colors can act as an independent decorative technique or serve as a backdrop for other elements.

The bathroom in the above range looks elegant and elegant. With the finishing material, snow-white and black plumbing looks perfect. If we are talking about the design of a small room, make a bias in favor of white. A large amount of black will create a gloomy atmosphere and narrow the compact space. In large rooms, the proportion of black and white can be equivalent. At the request of the client black color may prevail.

To fully reveal the beauty of the tile, it is necessary to place a sufficient number of compact lighting fixtures. It is advisable to install many miniature lamps around the perimeter of the room. Complete the classic decor with golden elements.

Restroom

Rooms with a separate toilet also feature black and white flooring. This is usually a small room. As a basis, it is better to use white dies with the addition of black mosaic.

Living room

Floor tiles are used to decorate living rooms and halls. Finishing material in such a combination looks great in a variety of stylistic directions. This color is in perfect harmony with antique carved furniture, voluminous details covered with gilding or silver paint. In large rooms, you can use the technique of creating a composition of dice of different colors. The drawing will be an original addition to the decor. For design, you can use large-sized tiles, alternating with the same sequence.

Styling methods

Of great importance is the method of laying the finishing material. Decorators have developed many tricks.

  • Christmas tree. To lay the dice in the form of a "Christmas tree", they must have a standard rectangular shape. Specialists distinguish combined masonry when tiles of different colors are combined, as well as a "Christmas tree" of dice of the same color.

  • Network. Designers highlight a separate kind of "Christmas tree" called "wicker". In this case, in addition to black and white, gray tile is also used. Dies are laid out alternately.
  • Band. In the form of straight stripes, tiles are laid to expand the room. Vertical lines will make the room longer and horizontal lines wider. This method is simple. It is often used in combination with modern and austere styles.
  • Insert. In this case, one of the colors is the main one, and the second is a complement to it. For this design, octagonal tiles and small square dies are used, which are placed between the tiles in a dominant color. For small rooms it is better to choose white color as the main one. In spacious rooms, the main color can be made black. It will give the interior chic and nobleness.

  • Drawing. From the dice lay out the picture. It can be some kind of figure or expressive abstraction. It all depends on the preferences of the owner of the house and the decorative direction. Most often, dies of various shapes and sizes are used.
  • Accent. Using one of the colors, a specific area is highlighted. As a rule, white color acts as a background, and black is framed by a specific place, for example, a dining table in the kitchen, a bar, a fireplace and so on.
