Inside/Outside Tiles: Bring inside and outside together

Have a read through our blog to find some advice and maybe some inspiration for Inside/Outside and Limestone effect tiles.

Utilising a part of your garden as an extension of your living area is a fantastic way to create a seamless look between the outdoors and inside. If done right, it can blur the lines between your garden and kitchen, living room or conservatory, creating the look and feel of a single room creating the illusion of a bigger space.

Bringing the outdoors in and taking the indoors outside has been on trend for some time, and with the growth in popularity of bi-fold doors, along with open-plan living areas, it’s now a key factor of home and garden design.


Not only can flooring create a flow and a wonderful feeling of continuity, with low and recessed thresholds there is little interruption once patio doors are open between internal living area and patio or terrace. This provides a great opportunity to beautifully blur the boundaries and lines between in and out and whilst it is possible to create stunning areas with different floorings there really is nothing like running the same tile throughout to really transform space making it feel more connected, seamless and open.

How do you match indoor and outdoor tiles? Use tiles with the same colours, tones or designs in both your interior and exterior space. 

What is the difference between inside and outside tiles? Indoor tiles are typically smooth and glazed to make them easier to clean and so they do not absorb water. On the other hand, outside tiles are seldom glazed and usually have a rough surface
