Outdoor space tiling ideas

Feel inspired to create beautiful garden settings with porcelain patio ideas that feature Italian-made porcelain tiles. Outdoor porcelain tiles offer a designer solution for every style of patio and garden. For even greater harmony, you can cover walls, floors and furniture in identical large slabs. Below are some concepts you could consider.

Add a touch of sophistication to your outdoor space with muted colour palettes which help ground the garden and transform it into a sanctuary away from the stress of the world. Choose Boost Natural Pro concrete effect slabs, pair neutral-coloured tiles with clean grout lines and create meditative spaces. For sophisticated patios, combine floors and walls tiles with furniture. Leave enough room around the patio for a natural border filled with greenery for added calm.

Use porcelain outdoor tiles as paving walkways to connect the different zones of the garden. Contrasts in colour and texture will make the paving even more of a feature, so combine the tiles with gravel or lush grass. For warm Mediterranean vibes, opt for terracotta or brown-coloured tiles and be inspired by Aix or Norde stone effect slabs collections.

For a contemporary garden, you can’t look past stone effect porcelain tiles. Choose large porcelain tiles to create even more of a seamless look that reflects the latest design trends. To make a luxury statement in the garden area, marble effect outdoor porcelain tiles are a winning option. Or embrace the warmth and beauty of nature with the wood effect outdoor porcelain tiles of the Entice collection.

Concrete effect tiles are versatile and sleek. These surfaces are available in cool shades such as greys, whites and blacks and warmer tones like light browns and beiges, ensuring the perfect solution for a stylish garden’s colour scheme and aesthetic.

Paving ideas for small gardens & back gardens

Maximize your space with small front garden paving ideas that combine functionality with style. It can be challenging to work with small garden spaces as you will need to fully seize the opportunity to maximise every corner and inch of space. There are a couple of ways to approach the issue. Either try to make the area feel larger or play up the cozy atmosphere and use it as an advantage. Let’s see some options at your disposal.

Create the illusion of space

One secret to making an outdoor area feel bigger is using large format porcelain tiles. The large size of the tiles allows for minimal grout lines and makes areas feel expansive and more spacious. In terms of colours opt for porcelain tiles in modern colours such as beiges, greys and light browns: the fine and delicate shades of Boost Mineral stone-look tiles collection are perfect for creating an elegant outdoor area.

You can also combine large tiles with matching grout lines to deliver a clean look that never feels cluttered.

It may be contradictory, but adding more elements and zones into a small garden can make an area feel larger. You can use porcelain outdoor tiles to cover stairs, sunken terraces, and raised flower beds, creating sense of depth. Instead of attempting to fit furniture into an already cramped patio area, consider tiling in-built benches to save space.

Deliver intimate outdoor areas

Instead of battling against a small garden, embrace its size to create an intimate space that is highly liveable. Create a welcoming mood in the garden with mosaics on furniture tabletops and earthy-coloured porcelain tiles on floors and walls. Or opt for a tiling pattern on the patio area. Atlas Concorde decorative tiles are perfect for recreating the cottage garden aesthetic, celebrating the charm of brick, stone and herringbone.

Enhance the outdoor experience with modern porcelain patio tiles. Consider the following factors when trying to select the best tiles for your project.

• Finish: floor tiles should be anti-slip, especially if exposed to moisture.

• Type of installation: porcelain tiles will require different thicknesses depending on whether the installation is dry or normal.

• Size of tile: for easy installation and a clean look, ensure the tile size is appropriate for the setting. Stairs, terraces, swimming pool edges and patio borders all need different sizes.

• Strength: porcelain tiles are incredibly durable and can withstand extreme heat and ice, making them the practical solution for outdoor requirements.

• Commercial or domestic space: porcelain tiles perform well in high-traffic areas where wear and tear are to be expected.
