Create an Indoor Outdoor Living Space with Porcelain Paving Slabs 

There’s something incredibly glamorous about the indoor-outdoor living concept. In recent years, it’s grown in popularity and indoor-outdoor home design is fast becoming a coveted feature for property buyers. 

But in all its glamour and glory, this high-end look can also be very grounding, helping families reconnect with nature and the outside world. Even with the unpredictable British climate, having a seamless flow into the garden can work wonders for your well being. 

Here are some ways you can design an indoor-outdoor living space with porcelain paving slabs and flooring. 

Make your kitchen open-plan 

Open-plan living is conducive to the sociable home concept, giving you a wide open space for entertaining guests or just enjoying quality time with family. It also works well with seamless indoor-outdoor flooring, connecting your outdoor patio with your kitchen and other parts of your home. 

An indoor-outdoor kitchen is easily achieved with porcelain paving slabs, as Italian vitrified porcelain is suitable for both interior and exterior applications. This gives you the option of porcelain flooring that ties in nicely with your paving. Complete with bi-fold doors, you can create a truly integrated space, bringing the outdoors in, while also having easy access to kitchen facilities when spending time in the garden. 

Choose wood effect porcelain paving 

There are so many different styles, colours and finishes to choose from with porcelain paving. But one of the most popular styles for indoor-outdoor living spaces is wood effect porcelain. 

With wood effect porcelain paving, you get the best of both worlds. It’s easy to match to almost any style of home. While some of the glossier, more contemporary styles work best in clean, minimalist and modern settings, wood effect porcelain slabs adapt well to transitional home design. 

It’s also undetectable to the naked eye, giving you a realistic appearance of timber, but with all the durability and low-maintenance benefits of Italian porcelain. 

Use porcelain on your walls 

Did you know that our porcelain paving slabs and flooring tiles can also be used as porcelain wall tiles? Just about anything from our outdoor porcelain pavers range can be used inside the home, meaning you’ll have endless options for elevating your interior design concept. 

By matching your porcelain wall tiles to your indoor-outdoor porcelain flooring, you can have a completely seamless aesthetic. Alternatively, you can design something contrasting as a feature wall, matching the drama of your outdoor paving, but with an utterly unique look that acts as a conversation starter. 

Opt for quality Italian porcelain 

When it comes to selecting the right type of tile for your indoor-outdoor living space, we recommend investing in the very best vitrified porcelain sourced from leading manufacturers in Italy. 

This type of porcelain is considered to be the finest in the world, the most sustainable option, and the most durable. It has been heated to extreme temperatures to ensure exceptional stain-, moisture-, mould-, mildew-, moss-, algae- and scratch- resistance, meaning your design will have longevity compared to cheaper varieties.
