Listen, I’ve been in the tile game for a long time, and if there’s one thing I know, it’s that nothing beats tile for outdoor spaces. It’s been used for centuries—think of the ancient Romans and their stunning mosaics. They knew what they were doing. Why? Because tile is strong, weatherproof, and timeless.
Now, when it comes to designing your outdoor space, you’ve got a lot of choices. Wood? Warps and rots. Concrete? Cracks and stains. But tile? It’s built to last. At Merola Tile, we’ve got the best selection to make your backyard as stylish as it is durable.
Start with the Right Foundation: Outdoor Tile That Works
Your outdoor space isn’t just an extension of your home—it’s where you entertain, unwind, and make memories. The right tile sets the tone, and we’ve got options that check all the boxes:
✔ Weather-Resistant – Rain, snow, or blazing sun, our tiles hold up.
✔ Slip-Resistant – Safety first, especially around pools and patios.
✔ Low Maintenance – No sealing, no staining—just hose it down and you’re good to go.
✔ Style for Days – Whether you want modern, rustic, Mediterranean, or classic, we’ve got a tile for that.
Designing Your Outdoor Oasis with Tile
Tile isn’t just for floors—it’s a design powerhouse. Here’s how you can use it:
🏡 Patios & Decks – Large-format stone-look tiles give you that high-end resort vibe.
🔥 Outdoor Kitchens & Bars – Easy to clean, fireproof, and stylish as hell.
💦 Pools & Surrounds – Mosaic and textured tiles bring both beauty and safety.
🛤️ Walkways & Garden Paths – Durable and decorative—why settle for boring concrete?
The Secret to a Seamless Look? Keep It Cohesive
One of my favorite design tricks? Blend your indoor and outdoor spaces with tile. Use a similar color or pattern for your indoor flooring and carry it right outside. It makes your space look bigger, more polished, and just plain cool.
