Checkered floors

[tsumik]

So I was at Dave and Busters yesterday and sitting in the resturant when I started noticing the checkered floor. To give you an idea how strangely my mind thinks I started asking myself why do alot of resturants, kitchens, bathrooms have checkered floors. Is it just an asthetic design decision? Does it help hide grim and objects on the floor cause the tile pattern is contastanly changing? Does it help make the room look larger then it really is? And what's the choice between diagonal versus side to side patterns in relation to the walls?

Ah one of the grand mysteries of life. =)

its only got one thought into it beyond "what's simple to choose when we don't really care and is the next step higher than plain ol' boring white? Besides that's been the theme for decades think about in the 40's and 50's. I think it use to be hip back then. We really haven't changed much or don't care much. Either way I'm shutting up.
