Which floor design for my Kiwi garage floor?

Thinking of doing something other than the standard checkerboard. Anyone like these ideas? These are for my new 42'W x 30'D garage I'm building... 3 Garage doors entering at the bottom of each diagram...

ONE

TWO

THREE

FOUR

FIVE

SIX

SEVEN

EIGHT

NINE

TEN

CarreraScott,
Looks like some kind of psycho test.

The darker the floor the more it will absorb light and the darker (and smaller) the garage will seem. Make sure you plan for a lot of light! I added Halide fixtures from Griot's and love them. If you install these make sure you also have some incandescent lighting because the halide lights take a couple of minutes to warm up.

I like #4, but I would be concerned about it being too dark. My second is #10.

Dr. T I am putting in 36 recessed fixtures, throwing 150W each = 5400W of light, should be plenty. ;-)

Wow, That took some time. I did one or two designs once and it took forever clicking on each tile to scan through the colors.

I did it with Photoshop -- no way I would use Kiwi's awful online tool (which is better than Racedeck's at least..).

Ben,

UVA is obviously up and coming in football, we had to kick a player off the team for assaulting another player recently. ;-)

Go Hoos!

Having recently done the Kiwi tile, I do like#8. However, the good old checkerboard gives you the most flexibility.

It will be a blast putting it down!
