For those looking to create a ‘wow’ factor in the garden, experimenting with playful patterns is an easy way to make an impact. Whether used across an entire patio or as a way to zone individual spaces outdoors, from herringbone to combining multiple sizes and colours, homeowners can be as creative as they want with the range of porcelain tiles on offer from Tile of Spain manufacturers.
Opt For Large Format
Carolina Tile by Bellacasa
A versatile option, large format tiles provide a consistent look and feel to any outdoor space. The perfect option for homeowners looking to create a sleek appearance, the larger size can also help smaller gardens feel more open and expansive. In addition, porcelain tiles of this size are increasingly popular in UK gardens thanks to their technical characteristics and high resistance to stress. The benefits of porcelain tiled floors mean they can withstand different weather conditions – from rain to shine – as well as offer non-slip properties and easy maintenance.
Embrace The Wood-Effect
Poeme Brandy Tile by Keraben ; Tanzania Natural Tile by Butech Porcelanosa Group
Offering the best of both worlds by combining the durability of a porcelain tile with the warm hues of a natural material like wood, wood-effect tiles are popular with homeowners looking for a more traditional aesthetic. Offering the natural appearance of wood without the potential drawbacks of warping and rotting, wood-effect tiles are a great option for linking up indoor and outdoor areas. Available in a plethora of colours, textures and sizes that mimic different species of wood, they require minimal maintenance and look striking in an array of spaces.
