  • Match the Aesthetic: When choosing tiles, consider the overall design of your home, and take into account the layout of the garden. For a more rustic or natural appearance, stone or cement tiles in hues of beige and cream are a perfect choice. If the modern look is desired, thin porcelain tiles painted in glossy black, grey, or dark blue would be the most appealing.
  • Color Choice: It is advantageous to use lighter-colored tiles in warmer areas as they reflect most sunlight and therefore keep the surface cooler. It is apparent that darker colors absorb more heat and will do very well in places that get limited direct sunlight.
  • Size and Pattern: Large tiles create the illusion of a small outdoor space having a bigger room, and smaller tiles can create intricate patterns, which will enhance the aesthetics. Mosaic tiles, for instance, lend themselves well to borders and other decorative patterns, especially around pools or other water features.
  • Textured Surface: A textured or matte surface finish will further improve grip. Outdoor areas should not contain glossy tiles, as they are slippery when wet.
