Create Your Perfect Outdoor Living Space
Comfortable and stylish outdoor spaces are essential for every Australian home. With glorious sunny weather year-round, especially in Western Australia, many homeowners treat their patios, alfresco areas, and poolside zones as the main areas to relax and entertain. The foundation of every great outdoor area begins with what’s underfoot — the outdoor tiles.
The flooring you choose can completely transform your space. Wood, timber, and organic tones bring a natural, earthy warmth, while sleek black, white, or neutral outdoor tiles add a modern and sophisticated touch. Finding the right finish and texture can feel overwhelming, but don’t worry — we’ve gathered the top outdoor tile flooring ideas to help you refresh your space with ease.
Best Outdoor Tiles Choices
Tiles remain one of the most versatile and durable materials available, perfect for bringing personality to both indoor and outdoor areas. Investing in quality outdoor tiles elevates your space with elegance and functionality. The right colour, texture, and material will make your entertaining zone come to life, one tile at a time.
Artistic Statements in Tile Design
Design trends today focus on creative expression. We’re seeing more colour experimentation, bold patterns, and playful design combinations. Thanks to advanced Inkjet technology, it’s now possible to print any pattern or texture onto ceramic tiles — from realistic wood and stone effects to abstract brushstrokes. This technology opens up endless outdoor tile flooring ideas, perfect for those who want to create stunning, custom looks that truly stand out.
Experimental designs have really been made possible with high-definition Inkjet technology. Inkjet technology allows for any print, pattern or design to be printed onto the ceramic tile. These patterns can vary from replicating organic materials (like wood and stone) to experimenting more with patterns and brush strokes.
Inkjet technology offers a wide variety of impressive and stylish options for your ceramic tiles. To find the unique design for your project, chat with our team at Ceramic Tile Supplies.
Nature Inspired
As outdoor spaces are surrounded by nature from the home’s garden, pool, sunlight and sky, nature-inspired tiles compliment these natural elements with gorgeous replications of wood, stone, sand or earth elements. These organic designs are an easy way to add impressive beauty to any area and instantly ‘wow’ guests as they walk out to the outdoor space.
There’s a great variety of nature-inspired outdoor tile flooring ideas to choose from too. Styles vary from patterned tiles that mimic the detailing seen in granite, stone-look tiles that replicate impressive rock surfaces as well as other textured designs such as Epika Shell and Mystone Sand.
Timber-look tiles are one of the most popular flooring options for outdoor settings. Offering warmth and charm to an outdoor space whilst also being durable, slip-resistant and low maintenance—it’s no wonder why timber-look tiles are so sought after! Whilst real timber tiles are costly and require more maintenance, timber-look outdoor tiles are almost identical in appearance and more affordable too!
Internationally Inspired Designs
With travel once again inspiring our lives, design ideas are taking cues from around the world. European terracotta tones, Spanish patterned tiles, and vibrant Mexican ceramics are making their way into local alfresco spaces.
To recreate your dream holiday destination at home, consider using decorative outdoor tiles. Whether you prefer soft pinks, bold floral motifs, or minimalist white texturing, you can easily build a personalised outdoor retreat.
To complete your look with matching accessories, furnishings, and greenery for that perfect getaway vibe — no passport required.
The Bigger, The Better
Large-format tiles are increasing in demand, with the large porcelain tiles adding a modern grandeur to outdoor spaces. Sophisticated, classy and striking—these larger tiles are eye-grabbing for outdoor areas and require minimal accessories to fill the room. You will only need a few pieces of furniture and/or plants to complete your outdoor space.
Choose between a variety of sizes ranging from: 500mm x 1000mm, 1000mm x 1000mm, 1000mm x 3000mm and 1440x3200mm, depending on your preferences. Large format tiles do require a bit more expertise to set up, we recommend contacting an experienced tile installer to ensure that the job is done appropriately.
Best Swimming Pool Tiles
If you’re lucky enough to have a swimming pool in your backyard, you will want to make sure you invest in high-quality and eye-grabbing outdoor pool tiles to do your pool area justice. Consider what tiles you will require for inside the swimming pool as well as around the pool area. Every tile decision you make works together to create a harmonious aesthetic.
Please note, not all tiles can be installed into a swimming pool; they must be low absorption with Polyurethane reactive pre-mounted support that holds each tile in its place. Here at Ceramic Tile Supplies, all of our outdoor pool tiles fulfil these requirements.
Blue Mosaics
Blue Mosaics are undoubtedly the most popular choice for swimming pool tiles in Perth. With a wide variety of shades to choose from, the rich blue mosaic shines through the water of your swimming pool, adding a subtle richness that’s reminiscent of the ocean.
Blue Mosaics are visually and practically fantastic. Both out of the water on raised walls and on the pool floor, the blue mosaic is captivating and classy. Blue Mosaics are perfect for outdoor spaces where the swimming pool is the centrepiece of the area, adding depth to your outdoor space.
Black And White
Another mosaic option is choosing a black and/or white colour scheme. If you already have a colourful and attractive outdoor area, you might want to consider a minimalist tile for the swimming pool in either black or white.
Although black and white mosaics are quieter than blue mosaics, the simple colours can add an element of sophistication that really completes your outdoor area. If you have chosen a creative and experimental outdoor design, choosing black or white works as a tasteful finishing touch.
