An inviting, comfortable outdoor retreat begins with the right tiles, and Aussies are embracing the latest tile trends to transform lacklustre spaces into summer havens.

According to Beaumont Tiles, three tile trends have claimed the spotlight as we enter the summer period and each has the power to transform outdoor zones.

Let’s take a closer look at each of them.

1. Crazy Paving

Crazy paving is most definitely enjoying a resurgence – and when you see just how effective these tiles look in outdoor entertaining areas, you’ll quickly realise they are far from crazy!

Plucked from the 1970s, Crazy Paving embraces the irregularity of tiles. It’s fun, earthy, undeniably rustic and adds a Mediterranean feel to backyards.

Beaumont’s exclusive, Pompeii CrazyPave is an incredibly easy way to achieve an authentic crazy paving finish without having to break tiles yourself.

In stunning organic stone, it comes in three colours, including Crema, Tortora and Grigio. The textured microtec provides important slip-resistance when wet and it’s beautifully smooth underfoot.

Think of it as the luxe way to go a little crazy outdoors.

“This gorgeous range is set to become a talking point in so many Aussie homes with its unique look ready to become the main feature of your back or front yard, or any other space it is placed in,” outlines Darren Brittain, Beaumont Tiles Product Specialist.

2. The limestone look

Travertine with its beautiful stone look is a fast track to elegant entertaining zones. Needless to say, Australian renovators can’t get enough of it.

The Pompeii Travertine 20mm range exclusive to Beaumont captures the style, luxury and texture that sedimentary stone is known for.

It comes with high-grade slip resistance and it is available in five neutrals to cover any home style. These include Crema, Tortora, Grigio, Cenere and Avorio.

“Catching the eye of many renovators, the sophisticated design of this tile provides a timeless look that is easy to install to create a backyard of dreams,” explains Darren.

3. A seamless finish

Modern homes are seeking clean lines and seamlessness around pools. This is why quality coping tiles are a must-have for any contemporary renovation.

Beaumont is making it easier than ever to nail pool coping. Its new range of exclusive Pompeii Travertine Coping Drop Pavers comes in a 50mm and 80mm drop and pairs beautifully with other tiles in the range.

Aside from its high-end looks, this coping tile delivers super strength and high slip resistance, adding safety to pool edges. It is fade-resistant and doesn’t require sealing like natural stone.

It comes in Crema and Grigio, catering to most outdoor spaces.

“Pompeii Coping is perfect for Aussie renovators looking to ‘wow’ with tiles, with its variations range’s aesthetic blend of grey, cream and beige providing the perfect continuation to your outdoor space, creating a seamless look for your next pool renovation,” says Darren.
