Transforming your garden into a breath-taking outdoor sanctuary doesn’t have to be just a dream! With the right patio ideas and our quality outdoor porcelain slabs, it’s easier than ever to create a space that’s not only stylish but also practical, just in time for the warmer weather to get here! Whether you’re looking to host summer BBQs, soak up the sun or simply enjoy a quiet evening under the stars, our patio ideas are packed full of inspiration and tips for bringing your vision to life.
1 – Varied Stone Effect Perfection
For a truly unique and one-of-a-kind patio design, see our collection of stone effect tiles that feature striking and varied stone characteristics. They welcome a sense of modernity and industrial style while maintaining that classic outdoor slab aesthetic. Our Piazza tiles are a great example of this, with a heavily detailed stone effect surface and natural matt finish, all in a variety of neutral colour options. Our example shows the Greige Stone effect colouring, oozing style and sophistication with a warming feel, perfect for those summer evenings.

2 – Smooth and Simple Concrete Effect
For something with a little less variation and more simple sophistication, try one of our plainer concrete effect slab options. With a slight tonal variation but sleek overall colouring, these slabs ensure a minimalist aesthetic that is packed with glamour. Their minimal design doesn’t mean a compromise on durability. Our slabs boast a durable porcelain construction that is sure to last your patio for years to come, even in the Great British elements! See our Ohio slabs below for a bit of inspiration, showcasing the true beauty that can come of a simple concrete effect slab.

3 – Patterned Porcelain Perfection
For something more original and exclusive, let us introduce you to our range of patterned outdoor slabs! Patterned outdoor slabs are a surefire way to welcome an artistic style to your patio, and are certain to be a talking point at all those summer garden parties. We have patterns that are packed with vibrancy and character, or more traditional designs for a classic and sophisticated look. Our Hanoi Star Blue tiles can be used both indoors and outdoors for a truly seamless transition across the whole home. Their striking blue star pattern ensures a bold scheme, perfect for those of us who seek that extra bit of wow factor.

4 – Gorgeous Geometric Patterns
Leading on from the previously mentioned patterned perfection, you can also achieve an uber-modern and contemporary scheme with the use of our geometric patterned slabs. With choices from stars to compass designs, you can be sure to find the perfect match for your state-of-the-art patio design. We love our Bellevue star tiles, they exude modern-day geometric style and pair beautifully alongside their plain Bellevue counterpart. With this, you can create borders, unique patterns or a chequer design, to suit your personal design preferences.

5 – Wonderful Wall Design
Don’t forget the walls when working on your patio design! We often leave the walls as a last thought, and this can sometimes be a big mistake! If your exterior walls are in good condition and you’re happy with the way they look, you can probably skip this idea, but if you think they need a refresh, check out our outdoor wall tile collection for a bit of inspiration. Take our Ribera tiles for example. They offer an industrial-style slate effect that features all the characteristics and texture of real slate, without the hefty price tag and upkeep, perfect for your garden walls! We think our example shows that perfectly!

6 – Marvellous Marble Effect
If it’s luxury and opulence you’re looking for across your patio design, look no further than our variety of outdoor marble effect slabs. They welcome all the glitz and glamour of real marble, without that out-of-reach price tag. Their deluxe veining and sleek colouring options ensure a choice is waiting for everyone and every exterior design. We love the way our Carrara Gold tiles, as shown below, introduce a sense of warmth and comfort to this patio design while ensuring a high level of refined and premium aesthetics. Use alongside outdoor chairs or sofas for an area you’ll be proud to show off to your friends and family this summer!

7 – Wild Card Wood Effect
For something out of the ordinary, take a look at our wood effect outdoor tiles. We know this is a bit of a wild card for exterior design, but we think you’ll love the comforting and cosy look you can create with them. Outdoor wood effect slabs offer all the aesthetics of natural wood flooring, but across a durable and hardwearing porcelain construction, making them perfect for your patio design. Take our Nebraska tiles, for example, a stunning Maple shade wood effect with realistic knots and colour variations, ideal for that welcoming design. We’ve used some wood accessories to enhance this even further, and the rest is a relaxing and peaceful area, perfect for stargazing of an evening.
