Famed for their style and passion, Italians have long been regarded as the prima donnas of the fashion world. But if you thought that Italy's flair for beautiful creations was confined to the catwalk at Milan fashion week, think again - Italian design has also had a massive impact on the porcelain paving market, and their influence has brought the beauty of the bel paese to countless British gardens.

Here at PrimaPorcelain, we offer a number of high-quality porcelain products that are designed and manufactured in Italy. Here's why our Italian-style porcelain tiles are the best choice for your outdoor living space...

Benefits of our Italian porcelain tiles

PrimaPorcelain's tiles and paving slabs are engineered to deliver aesthetic allure and practicality in equal measure.

Hard-wearing and durable, our top-quality tiles bring outdoor design up to date with beautiful, state-of-the-art material that is built to last.

Highly resistant to scratches, stains and abrasions, these beautifully-crafted outdoor tiles are also treated to resist a variety of other eventualities, including fading, frost and slip hazards.

With a number of features specifically designed for the demands of outdoor use, porcelain is the perfect material for your garden or patio.

A taste of Italy

So, now we're all well acquainted with the power of porcelain paving, what of the Italian style that goes with it?

Here are some of our finest Italian tiles:

Modena

Created with a distinctive silvery-grey hue that blends classic and contemporary design, these metallic shades provide a visual effect that's as pleasing to the eye as it is underfoot.

The subtle differences from tile to tile limit the design variation, heightening the effect of a uniform finish. Not only does this finish look seriously striking, it also enhances the contemporary colours of the tiles themselves.

Highly textured for both grip and slip-resistance, it also provides an attractive stone-like appearance that won't fail to impress.

Tirolo

Blending classic functionality with artistic flair and unusual design, these unique outdoor pavers offer a world of wood-look and faux-stone with outdoor functionality of 21st-century materials.

Ranging from bright and elegant to deep and modern, this collection oozes charisma and personality, culminating in a product that's both easy on the eye and easy to maintain.

Tirolo White   Tirolo Grey

Verona

Available in two contrasting colours - Sand and Grey - our Verona porcelain paving has all the romance you'd expect from a product that's named after the home of Romeo and Juliet.

These gorgeous tiles have a distinctly Mediterranean personality, and they look fantastic in all sorts of outdoor spaces. Why not combine both colours to create a beautiful two-tone patio?

Don't forget, you can order up to 3 free samples of our Italian-style porcelain paving!

2019 is just around the corner, and the big question on all of our lips here at PrimaPorcelain is, what patio trends can we expect to see in 2019?

Our PrimaPorcelain team have reviewed our most popular orders from this year and scoured the internet to bring you a forecast of patio trends we can expect to see in 2019. With rising summer temperatures, we see an increasing number of homeowners looking to expand and improve their outdoor living spaces so they can be enjoyed and used as frequently as the rest of the home.  With this comes a desire to create a space that is practical, beautiful and on trend. Continue reading if you’d like to learn more about the patio trends we expect to see in 2019.

Indoor to outdoor transition

As previously mentioned, more and more of our customers come to us requesting a way of blending their indoor and outdoor living spaces together. A well-crafted, well designed outdoor patio can add extra space that can be enjoyed as though it was part of your existing home. One way of creating a truly seamless transition from indoors to outdoors is by laying the same paving across the two spaces. Almost all of PrimaPorcelain’s tiles can be purchased in both 10mm (indoors) and 20mm (outdoors) thickness, making them suitable for creating this transitionary patio trend.

Take a look at the tiles we stock that can be used to create this trend here:

Indoor/Outdoor Transition >

Tones of Grey

This year we had a dramatic influx in orders of grey paving. It wouldn’t surprise us at all if this trend carries on into 2019. Grey tones compliment contemporary, urban patio designs and provide a neutral backdrop for any garden furniture or accessories you like. We have an extensive range of grey paving with different finishes that can be used both indoors and outdoors to create a trendy living space.

Grey Paving >

Stepping Stone Paths

Stepping stone paths aren’t by any means a new garden feature, but we have seen an increase in the number of customers asking our design teams to add this to their 3D design. Stepping stone paths are ideal if you have areas of your garden that become boggy or muddy throughout the year. They are also a great way of adding a garden feature that perfectly complements your new patio, so there’s no surprise that we expect to see requests for them rocket as we enter 2019.

We recently wrote a blog on how to lay a stepping stone garden path using PrimaPorcelain paving to show how simple this trend is to execute. Have a read here:

These are just a couple of the patio trends we expect to see repeatedly throughout 2019. If you’d like to enquire about implementing any of these trends into your home/garden then don’t hesitate to get in touch with a member of our team.

As Christmas approaches, we think its time to consider how you can decorate your indoor and outdoor spaces. This blog will inspire you to invest in some festive pieces to transform your home and garden for Christmas. 

Bring Nature Indoors

For centuries it has been a Christmas tradition to bring holly, ivy and evergreen trees into our homes for Christmas. Our 10mm Forest Walnut Tiles are ideal for giving you the look of real wood flooring, why not complement it with some of nature’s wintery gifts? Display pine cones, twigs of evergreen and chestnuts amongst your candles or around the base of your Christmas tree to create a beautiful festive look. (Just be careful if you have pets or little ones around!)

Dreaming of a White Christmas?

If you prefer to keep things a little more minimalist, why not adorn your home with delicate white and gold decorations, like the snowflakes pictured here? Gold, silver and white decorations perfectly complement our Tirolo Tiles and Paving range in white or cream, that can be installed both inside and outside.

Merry and Bright

Adding lanterns to any indoor or outdoor area creates an ethereal atmosphere that’s perfect for Christmas. Our Stoneware Tiles in Greige are the perfect neutral backdrop for lanterns, giving a soft cosy glow to any room or outdoor space. There are lots of electric and solar-powered lanterns on the market that look lovely if you are cautious about using real candles.
