Guide to Amalfi Checkerboard Tile
Amalfi Checkerboard tiles are 7x7 inch matte porcelain tiles that combine cross and star shapes in a Moroccan-style geometric pattern. The larger 7x7 format creates a clean, balanced checkerboard layout for kitchen floors, bathroom floors, dining areas, entryways, and open-plan living spaces.
Because both the cross and star tiles are listed as 7x7 inches, Amalfi creates a more balanced color layout than uneven cross-and-star formats. Swapping the orientation changes which shape carries each color, but the overall pattern remains visually balanced. Tile Mart carries Amalfi in four earth-toned colorways: Bone, Mud, Terracotta, and Gray, across eight pairings.
About Amalfi Checkerboard Tiles
The 7x7 inch format gives Amalfi a larger, cleaner pattern than many smaller Moroccan cross-and-star tiles. This makes it well-suited to standard kitchen floors, bathroom floors, dining rooms, and open-plan areas where a smaller pattern could feel too busy.
Unlike Kasbah, which uses different listed sizes for the cross and star, Amalfi uses 7x7 inch tiles for both shapes. That means swapping the orientation changes the shape emphasis, not the overall balance of the layout. The cross reads as the repeating angular motif, while the star creates the pointed accent within the pattern.
Bone and Mud pairs off-white with warm brown for a grounded neutral look. This pairing works well in kitchens, dining rooms, bathrooms, and entryways where an earthy but balanced pattern is preferred.
Bone and Terracotta pairs off-white with warm red-orange for a brighter Mediterranean-inspired result. It creates more contrast than Bone and Mud and works well in kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, and warm-toned interiors.
Bone and Gray pairs off-white with neutral gray for the coolest and most contemporary option in the Amalfi series. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, modern kitchens, and spaces with cooler stone, metal, or white cabinetry.
Mud and Terracotta combines warm brown with warm red-orange for the richest and earthiest look in the collection. Because the colors are close in warmth, the pattern reads as tonal and grounded rather than sharply graphic.
All Amalfi tiles are matte porcelain with a water absorption rate below 0.5%, making them suitable for residential floor and wall applications throughout the home.
Why Choose Tile Mart for Amalfi Checkerboard Tile
Amalfi is the larger-format Moroccan cross-and-star option in Tile Mart’s checkerboard tile collection. Its 7x7 inch format creates a clear geometric pattern that feels more open and less busy than smaller decorative formats.
The eight available pairings give shoppers control over both color and shape orientation. Since both tile shapes are listed in the same 7x7 inch format, choosing between Cross and Star orientation is mainly a design choice. Matte porcelain construction also makes Amalfi practical for everyday residential floors and walls.
