Mid-century black & white tile patterns?

Hello folks :).

I bought a lovely 1950s sky blue tub at a salvage yard, and want to do some sort of black and white tile surround. I am hoping for design suggestions!

I love the look of black, white, and blue together. I don't like subway tile, and think square tiles would suit the era of the tub better. (Do you agree?) Dark grout is pretty much an essential in our climate.

But I don't know what pattern I want! All checkerboard would be too much. Maybe 6" skinny trim around the tub edge and top, alternating B&W, and the rest plain white? That doesn't seem right, either...

Do any of you wise folks have thoughts or pictures to share?
