Some minor spoilers if you have not yet played
Treacle Stew : Level Two : 1 South, 1 West. Nothing about the puzzle is discussed here, just the shape of the room.
In one of Alex Diener's YouTube videos about Treacle Stew:
Episode 8, Alex said that "
[his] eyes don't like this room"
, and one of his commenters agreed that he was starting to feel physically nauseated too. While I don't have that visceral of a reaction to it, I can certainly see where they're coming from, and think that there's an opportunity to improve accessibility here.
I originally built the room with walls to mirror how King Dugan's Dungeon also built checkerboards with plain walls and floor (e.g.
King Dugan\'s Dungeon : Fourteenth Level : 1 North, 3 East, and
King Dugan\'s Dungeon : Eighteenth Level : 2 North, 2 East). However, at least in cases where there aren't pushing weapons, Seep, evil eyes, etc. there's some possible alternative ways to make a diagonal checkerboard pattern of floor and impassible tiles here.

EDIT 2023-04-24: I've attached a zip file with the imgur pictures since imgur may be deleting these in the future.
I've posted some pictures of different diagonal patterns in this album; let me know which of these you prefer, or feel free to post your own editor screenshots and suggestions of how you'd like rooms with this diagonal pattern of free squares and obstacles to look.
