Checkerboard Marble Foyer in Etobicoke
A light-and-dark checkerboard floor leads from the entry towards a staircase in Etobicoke. Four views show the layout from the doorway, beside the stair and in closer detail, highlighting the contrast and veining across the floor.

Entry floor and stair relationship
The visible tile scope is a checkerboard foyer floor. The entry and stair photographs show how the alternating squares sit within the larger circulation space, while the detail view makes the junction beside the staircase easier to examine. Notice how the tile grid approaches the staircase and the entry boundary.
A pattern viewed from several directions
A foyer is often seen both from the entrance and from the adjoining stair. These views illustrate why a patterned floor should be considered as a room-wide composition. The contrasting tile colours keep the repetition clear across the entry, with the room perimeter framing the tiled field.
Colour and veining
Pale and dark stone-like pieces form the checkerboard pattern, with veining visible across the surface. Compare their contrast with the surrounding entry and staircase when choosing the look for your own foyer.
Compare entry and floor layouts
This Etobicoke gallery focuses on the entry and staircase. For another checkerboard approach, explore the Mississauga layout page and compare how the grid meets different room boundaries.
Planning a contrasting entrance floor
For a new foyer enquiry, include the entry, staircase base and adjoining doorways in your room photographs. Send tile dimensions and a sketch of the full floor, rather than measuring only the open centre. The Etobicoke guide and floor installation service link this local example to the information needed for an estimate.
