Outdoor, Patio & Pool Tile Design Ideas
Tile is a great way to transform your outdoor living space. It has the long-lasting durability needed to hold up to weather and moisture, plus, it’s easy to clean and maintain. The right tile design can complement your landscaping elements to add beauty and elegance to your patio, pool, deck or dining area.
2024 Patio Tile Ideas & Trends
Outdoor tile has become an integral part of the design of a home and its landscaping—we now expect to have some extension of our spaces into the outdoors. Whether for entertaining, relaxation or utility, outdoor escapes are more important than ever. We love using natural stone textures to add a unique look and a special tactile element to exterior surfaces and flooring. In warmer climates, it’s become common to extend your interior tile design to your outdoor area. If you live in a colder region, our porcelain tile is well-suited for seasonal freezing and thawing conditions. Wherever you live and whatever the climate, our experienced associates at The Tile Shop can help you find the perfect solution for your home.
Tile Ideas for Pools
Given its slippery nature, your swimming pool area is perfectly suited for tile. On surfaces that come in contact with moisture and water—especially steps and stairs—non-slip outdoor tiles provide both style and safety. Spaces near your pool, such as decks, borders, waterlines and fountains, are all appropriate places for tile installation.
Patio Tile Designs
Tile is an excellent way to create a patio space that is low maintenance, inexpensive and stain resistant. Porcelain is very well suited for exterior use due to its strength and density and is a popular alternative for stone, concrete and wood. Looking for a natural finish? The Tile Shop offers a variety of economical options that add flair to your terrace without sacrificing toughness or authenticity.

A smart tile design in your dining area is an ideal way to set the mood in your outdoor entertaining space. Tile is a durable material that will make your kitchen and bar area more weather resistant and easy to clean. It’s not only a practical choice but also an opportunity to add slick, eye-catching patterns to your backsplashes, countertops and accent areas. Make your space functional, and it will be even easier to kick back and relax.
Tips for Choosing Outdoor Tile Colors
Selecting tile with a natural appearance provides authenticity to an outdoor pathway, pool area and patio. We love color schemes that either match or contrast with the color of your home. Natural shades of stone are great choices, and neutral tones like brown, black and grey work well with any palette. Feeling bold? Don’t be shy about adding a splash of color. Our experienced design associates can help you find the correct color and texture to complete the look you have in mind for your space.
