Checkerboard design: small, classic, oversized square

Checkerboard — Squares two millimetres on a side alternating strictly, the grid dead square to the frame, the two tones reading as a single grey texture at arm's length and as a check up close., checkerboard repeat, two tones alternating on a dead-square grid, corners meeting at an exact point with no overlap or gap, edges razor straight, flat fills, no texture at all

The checkerboard is two squares alternating, nothing more: the chess floor, the record sleeve, the bistro tile, where any drift in the grid is the whole failure. These nine render small, classic and oversized checkerboard squares across three colourways. Ask for a different scale, and the same three colourways carry it.

Frequently asked questions

What size and format do these print at?
Each pattern is a seamless square tile at even resolution, so it repeats cleanly on flooring reference art, fabric, or a phone case.
Can I get a different square scale?
Yes — the direction field takes any square size, and the same three colourways render it.
What's the difference between the three sizes?
Small packs many tiny squares tightly, classic sits at the familiar bistro-floor scale, and oversized stretches to a few large, bold squares.
Is the grid guaranteed to line up seamlessly?
Yes — an exact grid with zero drift is the whole point of a checkerboard, so every tile is built to repeat with no visible seam.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
