Spring is the most popular time of the year for redesigning your garden as the weather begins to brighten up and we get ready for summer. Nothing beats welcoming family and friends around for a barbeque in the sun, so it’s essential to get your space to a place where you’re happy to show it off.
Of course, we all want our outdoor spaces to be perfect for when summer is here so we can relax in a garden where we enjoy spending time. For many, though, the thought of redesigning a garden is far from motivational, and instead, it’s a job that gets put off for years, but not this time!
Today, the tile experts at Roccia are here to provide you with some well-needed inspiration for a garden redesign; all focused on the trending outdoor tile styles of 2024. Tiles are a fantastic choice for your garden as they are low maintenance, easy to implement, and look incredible! So, let’s explore your options and get you paving the way to the garden of your dreams.

Why Are Tiles the Best Choice for Your Garden?
Of course, we know tiles are the best choice for your garden, but why is this?
- Durability. Compared to other outdoor flooring options, tiles come on top for durability and longevity. There’s no need to worry about rotting decking when you can choose wood-effect outdoor tiles. Garden tiles can last longer than 20 years when maintained properly. And yes, you can use porcelain tile outside!
- An extensive list of options. Every neighbour on your street could have outdoor tiles, yet each garden could look entirely different. The possibilities are endless, so whether you’re looking for stone-look outdoor tiles, marble-effect outdoor tiles, or something else, you’re guaranteed to find some that suit your garden and personal style.
- Safe. Thanks to the nature of Great Britain’s climate, the rain can make our gardens an unpleasant place to be, and once the skies are clear and the moss begins to grow, the slippiness makes the floor dangerous to walk on. Our anti-slip outdoor floor tiles are the best choice for those wanting to avoid the danger of slippery moss. This is ideal for families with young children who still like to explore the great outdoors, even in winter.
- Low maintenance. As mentioned, tiles can last around 20 years and beyond, and to get the maximum lifetime out of them, you must keep your outdoor tiles well-maintained. Luckily for you, this doesn’t take much work. Simply mop semi-regularly and use tile cleaner once per year, and that’s all; it’s easy.

Outdoor Tile Trends
As mentioned, while tiles enhance the aesthetics of your outdoor space and give it a fresh new look, there are endless style options to choose from, which can make the redesigning process quite overwhelming. Here’s where Roccia comes in; we’re always up-to-date with the latest tile trends that will spruce up your garden. So, let’s take a closer look at tile styles trending in 2024 that are taking the outdoor world by storm. From classic designs to contemporary options, we’ve got you covered.
Combine Indoor and Outdoor Living
In recent years, a garden trend we have seen lots of is indoor-outdoor living, and tiles help you make this style effortless. At Roccia, we have plenty of tiles that you can install in both interior and exterior settings, so you can integrate both spaces and create an open-plan space ideal for entertaining this summer.
To successfully link both spaces, choose the same, large format floor tiles, which will help create the illusion of more space and allow you to seemingly transition from inside to outside when your doors are open. People often choose large format outdoor tiles because of their ability to expand a space, particularly a garden, as they trick the eye with their few grout lines. Also, less division offers a clear view without distractions, making them incredibly popular for smaller gardens.

Sectioning Your Garden
Another trend that has been sweeping the exterior design world is sectioning. Tiles are a fantastic idea for those wanting to create separate areas in their garden for different uses. For example, if you have children, you may wish to have a grass area for them to play on and a tiled ‘adults only’ outdoor dining space. The divide provides your children with their own space and allows you to have an area where you can wind down, sit back with a drink, and keep a watch over them while they play.
Similarly, you may wish to use two or more different tile designs to help section your garden. If grass isn’t an option, tiles are a great choice. Whether you choose two different styles, sizes, colours, or materials, sectioning your garden with contrasting tiles allows you to separate areas of your outdoor space for various functions.
Pave the Way
Have you considered upgrading your garden paths with tiles? If not, you’re missing out on more than just a stylish design element. As discussed, tiles are an excellent functional option, making garden maintenance a breeze. No more tracking dirt and mud into your home – tiled paths keep your feet clean and dry. And if you’re a green thumb who loves tending to your flower beds, a tile perimeter adds an elegant touch while simplifying your daily watering routine. Embrace the practical beauty of tiled garden paths and enjoy effortless, luxurious walks in your outside space.

Patterned Outdoor Tiles

At Roccia, we have noticed more and more of our customers opting for these vibrant tiles to create a statement and add character to their outdoor spaces. From intricate geometric patterns, like those pictured above, to lively Mediterranean motifs, these tiles are available in a wide range of designs, which makes it easy to find the perfect match for your style.
