With spring just around the corner, thoughts inevitably turn to the garden. Updating an outdoor space can breathe new life into your home and provide a fresh area for relaxation, entertainment and enjoyment. From painting to paving or adding an outdoor kitchen, there are numerous ways to enhance the beauty and functionality of your outdoor living area. 

A well-designed paved path is not only functional – providing a route through the garden or making for an easy journey to the front door – but also contributes to the overall aesthetic appeal of your home. A pretty path through a front garden also adds significant kerb appeal. From pretty patterned tiles through to colourful geometric shapes or even porcelain tiles that mimic another material, such as wood, there’s an option that works for every style of property.

Adding tiles to an exterior wall can create a stand-out feature in your garden. Whether you opt for a full feature wall or a smaller tiled area, it can be a focal point that adds texture, colour and visual interest. Ensure the wall is properly prepared and use suitable tiles, outdoor adhesives and grout.

For a seamless look why not extend into your outside space by using the same tile design both inside and out. We have a range of tile collections that are available in both an indoor and outdoor option allowing you to create an inviting extension of your home.

 The Santona tile’s traditional Spanish design replicates a burst of sunshine and its timeless look is set to make it a staple.

If you love a classic design, then stick with the traditional black and white combination, such as tiles from our Lucca range. They offer a quietly luxurious look that’s perfect for hallways, bathrooms and kitchens. The key is to maintain the balance perfectly between each colour to achieve a seamless look.

Why not introduce an innovative twist to the chequerboard pattern. These gorgeous Nina Campbell Rivage tiles prove the look can work as well on walls as it does on floors. Plus, you can get creative by playing with vertical and horizontal lines to create a cross-hatch effect that makes the effect even more striking. 

A fresh coat of paint on your garden wall or fence can dramatically change the look of an outdoor space. Rather than going for something expected - such as a wood stain - why not pick a stylish paint colour instead. For a modern look, consider soft neutrals that complement the greenery of the garden. Ensure the surface is clean and apply a primer for a long-lasting finish.

For a completely different take on the chequerboard trend why not introduce a new shape. Try combining the circle and star shapes of our Blends range to create a bold circle chequerboard effect or use the triangles to create a myriad of tesselations.
