Choosing tiles for your garden

Tiles are an ideal decorative solution for any area of the home, but many homeowners overlook using them in gardens. With so many varieties of floor tiles to choose from, they provide an ideal base for any garden or patio. One popular trend is co-orinating your interior and exterior floor tiles, to create the illusion of a space that extends beyond its threshold.  Bringing the inside of your home to the exterior is easy when you fit the same flooring outside. This makes any home appear much larger and is perfect for creating a smooth link between an interior conservatory and outdoor patio. When the conservatory doors are flung open, it will almost seem that the patio area is part of the house. You can also opt for a similar tiling effect between kitchens and living areas and outdoor spaces.

Porcelain or stone tiles are absolutely ideal for gardens. They look fantastic, can withstand extreme temperature and weather conditions, and are easy to maintain. If You’re looking for a quick-fix to update your garden, clever tiling can make all the difference.
