All of our porcelain paving is designed to handle the UK weather. It doesn’t fade or crack and it won’t need sealing. This guide will help you choose the right option for your home. From surface finishes to tile sizes, it covers what to look out for and how to make a choice that works long term.
Understanding Surface Finishes
Porcelain tiles come with different finishes that affect how they look and feel. At Modern Garden, most of our tiles have a matt or natural texture. This finish provides good grip and a clean, simple look for your outdoor space.
You’ll find these finishes across popular ranges like our outdoor porcelain tiles, classico, natural stone porcelain tiles and primera range. They offer durability and style without needing much extra care, you can call us on 01695 557711 to discuss our selection and how they can match your garden plans.
Choosing The Right Colour
Colour makes a big difference to how your outdoor space feels. Our porcelain tiles come in a range of outdoor colours so you can find the right match.
Greys are a popular choice and work well with most garden styles. You can explore our grey porcelain tiles for a sleek, modern look that blends easily with plants and furniture.
For warmer tones, beige porcelain tiles add a natural, inviting feel to patios and paths. These colours suit traditional and rustic garden designs.
If you prefer something lighter, white porcelain tiles and cream porcelain tiles bring brightness and openness to any garden space.
Choosing a colour that complements your surroundings can create a balanced and inviting outdoor space. Each of these colours are available in different sizes and finishes, allowing you to select the perfect combination for your garden’s design.

Finding The Right Tile Size
The size of your porcelain tiles can have a big impact on the overall look and feel of your outdoor space. At Modern Garden, the main sizes available are:
The 600 x 600 tiles are a versatile option. They work well in a variety of garden settings, fitting in patios and paths of different sizes. This size helps create a balanced, classic look without overwhelming your garden space.
For larger areas, the 900 x 600 tiles are ideal. Their bigger size means a cleaner and more open look, which works well in patios and terraces.
Both sizes are made to withstand outdoor conditions and are simple to maintain, so you can enjoy a beautiful, durable finish that suits your garden’s style and scale.
Style Ideas For Different Spaces
Once you’ve decided on colour and size, the style of the tile helps bring everything together.
If you like the look of timber but want something easier to care for, wood effect porcelain tiles are a great choice. They work well in garden seating areas, around sheds, summerhouses or as a feature within a patio space, adding warmth without the upkeep of real wood.
These tiles also pair nicely with other products like composite decking, composite fencing and composite cladding. Using matching materials across different areas helps keep your garden looking neat and well put together. Take a look at our gallery of outstanding projects.
