Summertime is finally here, which means more time outside! Sunny days filled with BBQs, relaxing by the pool with a cold drink, and making s'mores by the fire pit. But is your outdoor space ready? Not to worry—we've got some great ideas on how you can refresh your space with outdoor tile, and suggestions on the best tile for each outdoor use!
Use Exterior Tiles Around Your Pool
Make sure the tile you place near the pool is slip-resistant or can be treated to be since the area is going to be wet often. Good choices would be natural stone and porcelain tile—they're easily treated and have neutral tones to open up your outdoor décor possibilities. Our favorite pick is Revolve. It's a versatile collection of porcelain tile, mosaics and dimensional tiles that are great for outdoor, indoor, commercial and residential spaces
Tile Your Pool
This is the area where you can have more fun with design. A great tile choice for your pool is colored glass mosaic tile—it has color throughout that won't fade or scratch. And mosaic tiles are usually manufactured for wet environments, like swimming pools! A nice color combination is different shades of blue. It's calming and reflects the light nicely. Our Oceanside Glass tile collection has numerous color combinations that will easily amp up your pool style.
Patio Tile
Porcelain tiles are ideal for outdoor patio use. They require minimum maintenance; they can be produced with non-slip textures, fade- and scratch-resistance and even be frost-proof to protect in the colder months too. But the best part is the countless colors, designs and patterns you can choose from–even patterns that look like real natural stone!

Outdoor Bar Tile
Whether it's a backsplash, the countertop, the front of the bar or all three, you can easily boost your backyard style with a bold color or interesting pattern.
Exterior Floor Tiles for Your Walkway
This way to the party! Porcelain and natural stone tiles are stylish ways to guide your guests to or around your outdoor space.
Outdoor Shower Tile
Outdoor showers can be a great opportunity to add a hint of color, texture and pattern to your space. The right tile can easily turn your ordinary shower into an outdoor sanctuary. Choose a tile in a single hue or use the backsplash area as a blank canvas for a pattern or design.
