Add your personality, a bold statement or points of interest to your home by using tiles outdoors. It is always more acceptable to go bolder outside than in. Is this because we associate more freedom and fun to our outdoor living areas or is it because the outdoors is more of an evolving area? Either way freshening up your outdoors with tiles is a great cost effective way to inject your own style into your home.
Popular Ways to use tiles in the outdoors.
Allow us to give some examples of areas where you can freshen up that tired outdoor space and create a place where families and friends can come together or where you can retreat to after a long week at work.
Outdoor Dining.
There are many names an outdoor eating area takes; Alfresco, BBQ, Patio, Pizza Oven, Bar or Wet Bar. The point is no matter the food or drink involved imagine walking from inside your home out to the table, plate in hand, and your flooring paves the way seamlessly from indoors to out, your outdoor dining area increasing your over all living area by double even triple to make your entertaining space beyond impressive.
At Ceramic Tile Supplies we can create this seamless look with many of our ranges. Stone, Concrete or Timber you can use an easy clean, everyday tile for inside your home and extend the look with a non-slip outside matching tile.
Don’t forget to add personality to your alfresco splashback or even benchtop. Try using some industrial looking tiles often practical in colour and excellent for keeping stains and cooking splashes off your rendered walls. Or use mosaic tiles for that splash of colour to brighten up a drab space.
The Swimming Pool and Surrounds.
The area most associated with outdoor tiles is the inside of a swimming pool. We have a whole blog regarding this area. But what about around the pool? It is important to note that freshening up the whole pool area breaths life back in to the back yard instantly adding value to your home.
Refreshing swimming pool paving can be as easy as adding tiles on top of your pool concrete surrounds. If you want to take it a step further 20mm thick tiles or (2cm) are available that can be laid just like pavers. These thick tiles can be extended to all areas around the yard including driveways, patios or pathways and comes in stone, concrete and even timber appearances but are made from strong, hard porcelain. Ask our staff to show you some samples if you would like to find out more.
Bathing Plain Air
More and more customers we talk to are renovating little corners of their gardens to accommodate an outdoor bathroom where you can shower between the leaves or soak under the stars.
We have some great decorative tiles to complete this bright bohemian look. Or go the rustic style by using our timber look tiles as they will not rot, fade or disintegrate over time.
