Curious if anyone has done a checker board pattern on their gameroom floor.

Im re-doing my gameroom and deciding what kind of flooring to do. Thought that a black and white checker board pattern might look cool. Making the walls a dark red and white trim probably. Right now I have shit brown and it looks like crap.
 
I plan on doing a black and white checkerboard once I have a permanent location for the games. It does look awesome with red.
 
game room floor

I too am redoing our game room floor. mine game room is in my basment.

I am going to use concrete floor paint, I wanna paint it black, then sprinkle glow chips around, and then some kind of clear coat over then.

That should look cool in the black light.


good luck
 
My first Game room design I went with the checkered floor look but since then I replaced it with the backlight carpet which I think looks killer with backlights and also keeps the Game room warmer during the winter.

Oh by the way I forgot to add a checkered floor gets dirty alot especially the white part of the tiles so be prepared to mop all the time.
 
I originally did a black and white sticky tile on my gameroom floor. The tiles actually stuck pretty good to the cement. When I had minor flooding though, things went REALLY bad. Tiles came up, mold appeared, etc. I say if you have ANY chance of flooding, don't put tile down. Use epoxy or special paint for cement. I put garage grade epoxy down, which is darn near bulletproof.

Here's what it looks like now (epoxy)

When I was a kid we residents part of the basement floor as a chess/checker board. My father found 3 foot tall chess pieces that fit the tiles perfectly. Everybody thought it was really cool even though it rarely used.
