There is a particular satisfaction in laying a garden floor that looks as considered as anything indoors, and our 20mm pavers make that easy to achieve. At two centimetres thick, they have real heft and presence underfoot, whether you are shaping a dining terrace, a stepping-stone path to a summer house, or a quiet seating corner tucked against a wall.
Porcelain is the reason these pavers work so well outside. It is frost proof, dense, and far less demanding than natural stone, which can flake or stain over a British winter. The range spans wood effect and stone effect finishes alongside more graphic pattern pavers, so a rustic courtyard and a sleek contemporary patio are equally well catered for. The real practical advantage of the 20mm thickness is installation: rather than a full concrete base, these pavers can be bedded straight onto sand or gravel, which keeps a garden project simpler and considerably quicker to finish. Anti-slip and low maintenance, they are built for year-round use, whatever the weather brings.

TOP TIPS FROM INTERIOR DESIGNER LESLEY TAYLOR BIID, FOUNDER OF BAKED TILES
There is no denying it, using the same tile internally and externally creates a seamless visual flow that immediately elevates a space. When done properly, it’s not just a stylistic decision, it’s a really practical one.
As an interior designer, I often specify continuous flooring where the inside meets the outside. It’s one of the most effective ways to visually extend a room, making spaces feel larger, calmer, and more connected to their surroundings.
WHY IT WORKS
Consistency in materials removes visual breaks. When your eye isn’t interrupted by bulky thresholds, changes in tone, or competing finishes, the entire space will feel much larger.
This is particularly powerful in:
•Kitchen-diner extensions opening on to terraces
•Garden rooms or orangeries
•Contemporary renovations where glazing plays a dominant role
The result is a quiet confidence, nothing is shouting for attention, yet everything feels considered.
Large-format porcelain tiles tend to work especially well here, enhancing that uninterrupted feel and reducing grout lines both inside and out.

THE PRACTICAL REALITY
This approach isn’t as simple as choosing one tile and running with it everywhere. The specification is critical for a successful life-long installation.
For external use, you must be looking at a 20mm thick porcelain tile if it’s being installed on a standard external build-up (such as on pedestals, gravel, or sand). This thickness provides the structural strength required.
The exception is when you are tiling onto a solid concrete slab. In that case, a thinner, frost proof tile can be used with great effect.

SLIP RESISTANCE VS EASY TO LIVE WITH
External tiles need to be slip-resistant and frost proof. That’s non-negotiable. British weather alone makes that decision for you.
However, the challenge comes when you’re trying to match that external finish internally.
Highly textured, anti-slip tiles might perform beautifully outdoors, rainwater washing over them will help to keep them clean, but inside they can become impractical as they:
•Hold onto dirt
•Are harder to clean
•Feel harsh underfoot
The key is balance.
Some of our ranges come with the same tile in two finishes:
•A higher slip rating for outside
•A softer, more refined finish for inside
Visually, the tiles look identical, whilst being fully fit for their respective conditions.
If you insist on using the same tile in both areas, be very careful about the slip rating, you want something that meets safety requirements externally but doesn’t make everyday living inside unnecessarily difficult.

THE DETAIL THAT MAKES IT WORK
The threshold between inside and out is also another important element, as it’s what makes the seamless transition work so well.
To achieve a seamless transition between indoors and out, ensure that:
•Your floor levels are carefully coordinated to be as close as possible
•Door thresholds are minimal or flush to enhance the flowing effect
It’s also very important to consider drainage, and how rainwater will run off the exterior area to prevent any leaks internally.
This isn’t something to resolve at the end of a project and really needs to be designed in from the outset.
Using the same tile inside and out is one of those decisions that looks effortless, but it needs to be properly thought through. Get it right, and you create a space that feels expansive, calm, and quietly luxurious.
Garden season is almost here. That magical moment when
outdoor spaces start waking up again and suddenly everyone is thinking about
patios, terraces and long lunches in the sunshine.
If you are planning a garden update before summer arrives, a
little planning goes a long way. The designers at Baked Tiles have seen plenty
of outdoor projects over the years, and a few common mistakes pop up time and
time again.

Here are five things to think about before you start laying
those tiles.
1. Falling in Love with a Tile That Is Not Made for Outdoors
It sounds obvious, but it happens more often than you might
think. A tile might look perfect, but if it is designed for interiors, it
simply will not cope with outdoor life.
Outdoor tiles need to handle everything the British weather
throws at them. Rain, frost, sunshine and the occasional surprise downpour all
play their part.
That is why it is important to choose tiles that are
specifically designed for exterior use. Outdoor porcelain and natural stone are
created to handle the elements, with surfaces that are slip resistant and
materials that stand up to frost and moisture.
A little designer insight: always start your search in
collections specifically labelled for outdoor use. It saves heartache later.

2. Playing It Too Safe with Plain Paving
When many of us picture a patio, we imagine simple slabs in
soft greys or creamy neutrals. And while classic paving will always have its
place, outdoor spaces are becoming far more design led.
Patterned outdoor tiles are a wonderful way to bring
personality into the garden. Think a sun terrace with a decorative motif
underfoot, or a veranda that feels like it belongs in a boutique Mediterranean
hotel.
Thanks to porcelain technology, these decorative looks are
now tough enough for outdoor living too.
Remember, your garden is part of your home. It deserves just
as much character.

3. Skipping Professional Installation
A patio might look simple on the surface, but what sits
beneath it matters just as much.
Proper groundwork is essential if you want your outdoor
tiles to last. A professional installer will make sure the base is prepared
correctly, levels are right, and everything is laid in a way that stands the
test of time.
Trying to cut corners here can lead to shifting tiles, poor
drainage or cracking further down the line.
Your room, our tiles. But a good installer makes all the
difference.

4. Forgetting About Drainage
One of the most important parts of an outdoor tiling project
is something you rarely see once the job is finished. Drainage.
Without proper drainage, rainwater can collect on the
surface or run towards your home. Neither is ideal.
A skilled installer will build in subtle solutions such as
gentle slopes or discreet drainage channels that allow water to flow away
naturally. Done well, you will never notice it. But your patio will thank you
every time it rains.

5. Choosing the Wrong Tile Size
Size plays a bigger role than many people realise.
Large format tiles can work beautifully in smaller patios
because fewer grout lines help the space feel calmer and more open. It is a
clever designer trick that makes compact areas feel bigger.
Smaller tiles, on the other hand, can add detail and charm.
They are lovely for pathways, garden borders or creating zones within a larger
outdoor space.
It is all about balance and scale. Getting this right makes
your whole garden feel considered and cohesive.

Your Garden, Your Style
Outdoor tiles should feel just as thoughtfully chosen as the
ones inside your home. Whether you lean towards a porcelain tile that mirrors
the charm and character of natural stone, decorative patterns or warm
Mediterranean tones, the right choice will turn a patio into a place you truly
love spending time in.

AW26 is the season tiles stop sitting politely in the background. They are framing floors, climbing onto ceilings and carrying colour across entire rooms. Pattern is no longer being rationed to a single feature wall, while stone-effect surfaces are becoming far too interesting to disappear behind the furniture.
Baked Tiles is calling it now: the tiled room is back. Lesley Taylor, founder of Baked Tiles and BIID registered interior designer, says: "The plain tile with one decorative feature has had a very long innings. There is nothing wrong with it, but people are ready to have more fun.
"Tiles are becoming the starting point for the room rather than the practical surface chosen at the end. A floor can dictate the colour palette, a border can change the proportions of a space and a heavily veined stone can do the job that wallpaper or artwork might once have done. My advice for AW26 is to choose the tile you cannot stop thinking about first, then build the room around it."
Here are the tile looks Baked expects to lead the season.
Floors get their frame:
Borders are returning, but forget anything fussy or overly traditional. The new tile border is cleaner, bolder and often created using the same tile as the main floor.
A change in direction, format or tone can be enough to frame a room, define a dining space or make a straightforward layout appear completely bespoke.
Lesley explains: "I love a border because it gives a floor a proper full stop. Without one, a pattern can sometimes appear to run away into the edges of the room; frame it, and the whole layout suddenly has confidence.
"It does not have to involve another decorative tile. Turn a rectangular tile through 90 degrees, introduce a narrow strip in a deeper version of the same colour or take one shade from the main pattern and use that around the edge. Draw the complete layout first, including every doorway and cabinet run, because an awkward half-border will undo all the cleverness."

One colour is no longer enough:
Colour drenching is loosening up. AW26 schemes will use several related shades rather than repeating one exact colour across every surface.
For tile, this opens up far more interesting combinations: blush with oxblood, sage with bottle green or pale clay against a darker rust. Gloss can sit beside matt and smoother surfaces can meet more irregular finishes without leaving the colour family.
"Matching everything perfectly can kill the character of a room," says Lesley. "You want the colours to feel related, not cloned.
"Tile is brilliant for this because a glaze naturally changes with the light and a patterned surface can introduce several versions of a colour at once. Put every sample together in the actual room and remove the one that looks too neat. The slight odd one out is often what stops the scheme feeling flat."

Pattern stops asking permission:
The single patterned feature wall is giving way to rooms where several prints happily live together.
A tiled floor might meet striped fabric, a small-scale wallpaper or a second tile used in a different format. The aim is not to make every surface compete, but neither is it to dilute the scheme until the pattern has lost its point.
Lesley says: "Pattern mixing only becomes chaotic when everything is shouting at the same volume. Let one pattern be the boss and give the others a supporting role.
"A large repeat on the floor can cope with something smaller on the wall because furniture breaks up the floor and changes how much of it you see. Colour is what holds it together, so take one less obvious shade from the main tile and repeat that elsewhere rather than matching the most dominant colour."

Take the colours of the coast and leave the costume:
Coastal interiors are moving away from anchors, rope and anything that announces itself as seaside décor.
The AW26 version borrows weathered blue, chalky white and faded terracotta, with uneven glazes bringing the softness of colour that has spent years in the sun.
"No anchors. No signs saying 'beach'. No ornamental fishing nets. Take the colours of the coast and leave the costume behind.
"A handmade-look blue tile with natural variation will give you far more atmosphere than a wall of nautical accessories ever could. Mix tiles from every box before they are fixed so the deeper and paler tones are scattered naturally rather than gathering in obvious patches."
Products Shown: 1860 Blue 15cm x 15cm, 1860 Vanilla 15cm x 15cm, Rapture Gloss Blue Grey 3.8cm x 23.5cm, Elysse Denim 20cm x 20cm
Stone gets loud:
Stone-effect tiles have spent years being sold as the safe neutral. AW26 gives them a much bigger role.
Stronger veining, richer colour and larger formats allow stone markings to travel across a surface with fewer interruptions. The result can carry an entire shower wall, fireplace or kitchen backdrop without needing much decoration around it.
"A bold vein needs elbow room. There is no point choosing the most expressive stone in the collection and squeezing it into a splashback barely wider than the basin.
"Use enough of it for the markings to travel and make sense. Always ask to see several tiles from the design before ordering, because one small sample cannot show the movement, variation or how the repeats will meet across a full wall."

Tiles reach the fifth wall:
In bathrooms and cloakrooms, tiles are continuing beyond the walls and onto the ceiling.
It is a gutsy move, but it can make a compact room feel far more complete by removing the strip of painted ceiling that would otherwise cut across the scheme. Continuing one tile overhead works particularly well in showers and smaller rooms where every surface is seen at once.
Lesley explains: "The ceiling is the surface everyone forgets until the room is nearly finished. In a small bathroom, that white rectangle can break the spell completely.
"Continuing the wall tile overhead can be fantastic, but this is one trend where design enthusiasm has to meet technical common sense. The ceiling must be able to carry the weight and the preparation and adhesive need to be right for overhead fixing, so involve the installer before choosing the final tile."

The smallest room gets the biggest idea:
Cloakrooms and powder rooms are becoming the testing ground for the strongest tiles of the season.
Because the area is limited, homeowners can use a richer colour, bigger pattern or more premium surface without committing to it across a vast room. One confident choice will usually make more impact than several smaller decorative gestures.
"A cloakroom is not where you need to behave yourself," says Lesley. "It is often the only room guests see on their own, so give them something worth looking at.
"Start with the tile and plan the sanitaryware around the best part of the pattern, rather than choosing a beautiful design and then hiding its central motif beneath the toilet. Lay the floor out dry before anything is fixed and decide exactly where you want the eye to land."

Utility Tiles:
These are some of the tiles (and trends) that we can't get enough of
Planning a new kitchen? Don't forget the utility room. Often overlooked, it's one of the hardest-working spaces in the home, and with the right tiles, it can be just as stylish as your kitchen. Create a seamless look by carrying your favourite flooring through both spaces and choose a complementary design for a practical room that doesn't compromise on style.

Tile Drenching:
Tile drenching is one of our favourite trends right now. By using the same tile across both walls and floors, you can create a beautifully seamless space that feels calm, cohesive and effortlessly luxurious. Take tiles all the way up the wall for a fully immersive feel, or keep it half height and pair your wall tiles with your floor tiles, a lovely option for bathrooms.
