For many homeowners, the space outside the home can often become neglected in an unfortunate case of “out of sight, out of mind” – until the summer, at least.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, your garden could be a real showpiece of your property with a little imagination and touch of TLC.

Why not make the most of your outdoor space and give it a shot in the arm with a stunning porcelain makeover?

A few simple additions can make the world of difference - get ready bring the style with outdoor tiles and create an external design that’s truly divine!

Porcelain Pavers

When it comes to creating a beautiful outdoor tile design, few products can compare to the almighty power of porcelain paving.

Practical and low-maintenance, our pavers are built to last with superior thickness for durability. Best of all, they won’t fade or stain and are both frost-proof and slip resistant.

However, a good outdoor design isn’t just a case of pick a stick – there are a few things to keep in mind when choosing an outdoor paving tile.

Style and finish

From the wonderfully weathered charm of a wood-effect paver like a Forest Grey Larch to the dark and stormy statement of a Travertine Grey, a simple choice of tile can completely transform your outdoor design – so it’s important to get it right.

However, the actual finish can also have a dramatic effect on the overall presentation of your outdoor design. Most of our outdoor pavers come with a beautifully textured surface to provide an aesthetically pleasing finish that’s equally appealing underfoot.

Best of all, style and comfort comes with grip and traction, making for a fine tile that doesn’t lose its practicality, even in wet conditions.

Lawns

When it comes to incorporating paving slabs within an existing or prospective lawn, our pavers are more than up for the challenge. Porcelain paving slabs can make for a great garden path, adding a stylish pathway to your lawn - just think how good our Siena Basalt pavers, for example, could look on your grass - while also minimising the spread of mud and dirt through to the house.

Meanwhile, a porcelain patio can make for a fantastic complement to your lawn and make a great centrepiece for barbecues and parties under the stars. To give your tile design a well-rounded look, you may also want to incorporate borders or paver edging to separate your paved area from a lawn or plant bed.

Layout

While the majority of our tiles come in square or rectangular sizes, there’s no rule to say you can’t get creative with the layout. Uniform design does create a flawless finish that’s pleasing to the eye but a dose of creative flair can be equally as impressive.

Paving tiles can be used in a litany of ways to create a myriad of effects, patterns and shapes that will make your garden look truly special. A mix of rectangular and square tiles in varying alignment can look truly awesome once complete, while mixing and matching a set number of tiles can create a mosaic effect that’s mesmerising.

Meanwhile, strategic paver spacing complete with pebble-filled gaps can look even more impressive than tightly aligned tiles, while also making the most of the space you have. The limits to your outdoor design ideas are truly endless and certainly don’t stop with the parameters of a single tile.

Adding a new dimension to your home sweet home isn't the only way to utilise our beautiful porcelain floor tiles. That sumptuous surface will also make a superb addition to any shop environment, so if you work as a shop fitter or a retail designer, why not consider using our tremendous tiles in your next project? The results will look fantastic, we assure you!

This beautiful retail interior uses our lovely Limestone Vanilla floor tiles, and it looks a treat, as we're sure you'll agree. The light-coloured porcelain flooring - combined with the light from those large windows - gives the whole space an airy, spacious atmosphere, ensuring that customers won't feel cramped or claustrophobic when they're browsing for a new outfit. A good-looking, cunningly-designed shop floor can improve the mood of consumers and staff alike, making the retail environment a better place for everyone. Oh, and don't worry - our hard-wearing porcelain with have no trouble dealing with the shop's heavy foot traffic.

When it comes to designing a room - or a garden, for that matter - it's the tiny details that make all the difference. That's why we've got half a dozen different paving styles for our customers to choose from; it would have been easy to offer only one design, but variety is the spice of life, and a selection of different designs allows you to get precisely the right effect from your tiles.

If, for example, you want to create a calm, naturalistic atmosphere, we'd recommend investigating our Limestone Vanilla range before anything else. The creamy colour seems to effuse a gentle glow, and the tiles will bring a wealth of beauty to your home without feeling to overwhelming.

If you've been considering sandstone paving slabs for your garden, then Limestone Vanilla could be the perfect alternative. Our Out 2.0 paving is far more practical than natural stone products like sandstone; the porcelain pavers don't need sealing, and they can be installed without cement or adhesives. They're a fantastically easy-going choice, and they look just as lovely as real stone!

Of course, the same could be said of any product from PrimaPorcelain. If the subtle charms of Limestone Vanilla don't appeal to you, we're sure to have another paving design that will!

Of the six sensational paving styles we stock here at PrimaPorcelain, not one but two are named ‘Bluestone’. This may seem confusing at first, but hopefully we can convince you that each Bluestone design has its own unique charms, and that both of them have crucial roles to play in our porcelain range.

Since it’s our most popular porcelain product, let’s look at the Bluestone Design porcelain first. This stone-style paving design is great for people who want a natural look in their outdoor space, and while Bluestone Design’s speckled grey surface is almost indistinguishable from real stone paving, you’ll find that the porcelain pavers require far less maintenance. Bluestone Design is also ideal for achieving that seamless transition between home and garden, indoors and outdoors. Here’s a closer look: 

Where Bluestone Design looks gorgeous in the garden, we feel that Bluestone Vintage is better-suited to interiors.  The surface is slightly more stylised than its earthy-looking counterpart, and the tiles make a chic addition to any living room, bedroom, or hallway. Here’s what the Bluestone Vintage tiles look like:

Whether you opt to use Bluestone Design, Bluestone Vintage, or another paving style altogether, your next project is sure to go swimmingly when you use our attractive Italian porcelain.

Why have plain white porcelain tiles when you could have something a tad more interesting? Our delectable Driftwood Porcelain comes in a lovely light colour that will have all the same room-brightening effects as white tiles, but these pretty paving slabs have that little something extra that makes them all the more appealing.

So what is it that makes driftwood so delicious? If you ask us, it’s all down to the worn-looking surface. The distressed effect doesn’t sound especially attractive (after all, who wants tiles that look like they’ve been used before?) but take a glance at our Driftwood Gallery and then see how you feel about this design. Shabby chic design is very à la mode at the moment, and our wonderful wood-style white porcelain is the ultimate weathered flooring product.

Don’t worry, though; our Driftwood tiles may look a little worn, but looks everything. Beneath that shabby chic design is a robust paving slab that will stay beautiful for years, and it won’t require any near as much TLC as an actual driftwood floor would. If you think standard white porcelain tiles would look beautiful in your home or garden, you haven’t seen anything yet – our Driftwood tiles are sure to be lovelier still!
