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.

From the experts at Baked Tiles
Terracotta has been used in homes for
centuries, but its growing popularity in contemporary interiors has introduced
a new generation of homeowners to its warmth, texture, and timeless character. If

VIEW OUR REAL TERRACOTTA
1. Real Terracotta Is a Natural Material
Terracotta is made from natural clay that is shaped and fired at relatively low
temperatures. Unlike porcelain or ceramic alternatives, authentic terracotta
retains an earthy, organic quality that gives every tile subtle tonal
variation, texture, and character.
2. Terracotta Changes Over Time
One of terracotta’s greatest strengths is the way it ages. Over time, the
surface develops a richer patina that adds depth and authenticity to your home.
3. Sealing Is Essential
Real terracotta is naturally porous, which means it absorbs moisture and stains
if left untreated. Proper sealing is one of the most important steps in
installing and maintaining terracotta tiles. We have a useful terracotta
document that we recommend reading here.
We are frequently asked “how often should I
reseal terracotta flooring?” and it largely depends on how the space is used. Busy
footfall areas such as hallways and kitchens may benefit from resealing every
year, while lower-traffic spaces can often go longer between treatments.
Regular maintenance helps protect the tiles while preserving the rich warmth
and character that makes real terracotta so timeless.

4. Terracotta Works Beautifully with
Underfloor Heating
Terracotta retains heat exceptionally well, making it an excellent partner for
underfloor heating systems.
5. Terracotta works in both contemporary
and classic homes
If you have a more contemporary
home, terracotta can feel just as at home as it does in more traditional
spaces. Real terracotta can be surprisingly refined, depending on the grout
colour and installation pattern you choose. Parquet, basketweave, stacked, and
brick bond layouts are all worth exploring.
6. It Requires the Right Cleaning
Products
Terracotta is porous and naturally alkaline-sensitive so harsh chemical
cleaners should be avoided. Regular
sweeping or vacuuming with a soft brush attachment will help remove everyday
dust and dirt, while a pH-neutral cleaner is best for keeping the surface clean
without damaging the tile or sealant.

7. Colour Variation Is Part of the
Beauty
Terracotta ranges from soft pinks and warm oranges to rich burnt reds and
earthy browns, with natural variation throughout.
8. Installation Matters More Than You
Think
Installing real terracotta requires more care than standard porcelain tiles due
to its porous and often handmade nature, we recommend you always work with an
expert.
9. Real Terracotta Brings Warmth
Terracotta brings a natural warmth, texture, and sense of authenticity into the
home that few other materials can match. Its rich earthy tones pair beautifully
with warm neutrals, soft whites, natural wood, olive greens. We even love
terracotta teamed with blues and pinks. Take a look at our Mediterranean Edit here, for all the
inspiration you might need.
10. Grout Choice
Makes a Big Difference
The grout you choose
can completely change the overall look of terracotta tiles. A lighter grout
creates a softer, more contemporary feel, while warmer grout tones enhance the
rustic character of the floor.
Because terracotta is
porous, tiles should always be properly sealed before and after grouting to
help prevent staining and make cleaning easier during installation. We also suggest this product is installed with a wider joint to
enhance its rustic quality.
We suggest teaming terracotta with our Alabaster Grout
And finally, enjoy it!
Real terracotta is a
material to be lived with and enjoyed. Its warmth, texture, variation, and
natural ageing are exactly what makes it so special.
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.
