This "Ancient" Pattern Is Just as Popular as Ever - and It's Not Going Out of Style Anytime Soon
Briefly

"The classic checkerboard pattern of white squares interspersed with black or gray squares is ancient and traverses multiple cultures... It's a prolific design that can be spotted everywhere from an imperial villa in Japan to a 1950s-style diner in American suburbia."
"Checkerboard can be used wherever there's a need for a punch of pattern. It is also wonderfully scalable, and depending on the size, you can create a checkerboard with huge pieces to appear very impactful, or you can use smaller ones that appear to blur together."
