Kasbah Checkerboard Tiles

Guide to Kasbah Checkerboard Tile

Kasbah Checkerboard tiles are matte porcelain tiles that combine a 5x5 inch cross tile with a 6.5x6.5 inch star tile. Together, the two shapes create a Moroccan-inspired cross-and-star pattern for entryways, kitchen floors, bathroom floors, backsplashes, and feature areas.

Unlike a standard square checkerboard layout, Kasbah creates an interlocking geometric pattern with more movement and detail. Tile Mart carries Kasbah in four earth-toned colorways: Bone, Fawn, Terracotta, and Smoke. The collection includes eight pairings, with most combinations available in reversed cross-and-star orientations so you can control which color appears more dominant in the finished layout.

About Kasbah Checkerboard Tiles

Because the star tile is larger than the cross tile, the color placed on the 6.5x6.5 inch star will usually appear more dominant across the finished installation. The 5x5 inch cross tile acts more like the secondary color or accent. This makes orientation important when choosing a Kasbah checkerboard pairing.

Bone and Fawn creates a soft neutral pattern with off-white and warm tan tones. Choose Bone Star with Fawn Cross for a lighter, more open look. Choose Fawn Star with Bone Cross for a warmer floor with more tan showing across the layout.

Bone and Terracotta pairs off-white with warm red-orange. Bone Star creates a lighter Mediterranean-inspired pattern with terracotta accents, while Terracotta Star creates a warmer, bolder floor where the red-orange tone becomes the main visual color.

Bone and Smoke pairs off-white with cool gray for the crispest contrast in the Kasbah series. Bone Star keeps the pattern bright and airy, while Smoke Star creates a stronger gray-dominant geometric look.

Fawn and Terracotta combines warm tan with red-orange for the earthiest pairing in the collection. This combination works well in Mediterranean-style kitchens, entryways, and feature floors where clay, stone, and warm natural materials are part of the design.

All Kasbah tiles are matte porcelain with a water absorption rate below 0.5%, making them suitable for residential floor and wall applications, including kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, backsplashes, and feature walls.

Why Choose Tile Mart for Kasbah Checkerboard Tile

Kasbah brings cross-and-star geometry into the checkerboard category. Instead of a simple square grid, the pattern uses two interlocking shapes to create a Moroccan-inspired layout with more visual depth.

The eight available pairings give you control over both color and orientation. Since the star tile appears more dominant, choosing which color goes on the star lets you decide whether the finished pattern reads lighter, warmer, darker, or more contrasted. Matte porcelain construction also keeps the series practical for everyday residential floors and walls.
