Village Checkerboard Tiles

Guide to Village Checkerboard Tile

Village Checkerboard tiles are 5x5 inch glossy ceramic tiles made for two-color checkerboard layouts on walls, kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls, accent areas, and decorative interior applications. The glossy glaze gives the pattern a brighter, more reflective finish than matte porcelain, making Village a strong choice for color-driven spaces.

Tile Mart carries Village in 12 pairings across nine colorways: White, Black, Silver Mist, Mushroom, Cloud, Mint, Royal Blue, Aubergine, and Rose Gold. While other checkerboard series lean more neutral and matte, Village brings a wider range of glossy color options, from classic White and Black to softer neutrals, cool accent colors, and jewel-toned pairings.

About Village Checkerboard Tiles

Village pairings are organized around two main neutral bases, White and Silver Mist, plus one all-dark combination.

White-based pairings offer the widest range of contrast and color. White and Black creates the most classic checkerboard look, with a crisp graphic pattern. White and Mint, and White and Royal Blue, add cooler color contrast for kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls, laundry rooms, and accent areas. White and Aubergine, and White and Rose Gold, create a warmer, more decorative look suited to powder rooms, bar backsplashes, and feature walls.

White and Cloud, White and Mushroom, and White and Silver Mist are the softest White-based options. These pairings keep the palette lighter and more neutral while still adding movement through the checkerboard layout.

Silver Mist-based pairings use a soft gray base instead of White. Silver Mist and Black creates a more muted monochrome alternative to White and Black. Silver Mist and Mushroom gives a layered neutral look with gray and beige tones. Silver Mist and Rose Gold adds warmth to the gray base for a softer decorative effect.

Aubergine and Black is the boldest pairing in the Village series. This all-dark combination works best for feature walls, bar backs, accent areas, and spaces where a dramatic glossy checkerboard look is the goal.

All Village tiles are glossy ceramic. Ceramic is lighter and easier to cut than porcelain, making it practical for wall installations, backsplashes, and detailed layout work. For floors, outdoor areas, shower floors, or wet areas where slip resistance is a priority, a porcelain checkerboard option is the better choice.

Why Choose Tile Mart for Village Checkerboard Tile

Village is the color-forward glossy ceramic option in Tile Mart’s checkerboard collection. With 12 pairings across nine colorways, it gives shoppers more decorative range than the matte, earth-toned checkerboard series.

The 5x5 inch format works well in compact spaces where larger checkerboard tiles may feel too bold. Its glossy finish reflects light, which can help smaller kitchens, bathrooms, powder rooms, and backsplash areas feel brighter. For shoppers who want checkerboard tile in colors beyond standard black, white, gray, and terracotta, Village offers the strongest decorative color range in the collection.
