More Considerations
Space Size: The size of your patio can influence the pattern choice. Larger tiles in a small space can make the area feel bigger, while smaller tiles can add intricate detail to a large area.
Maintenance: Consider the maintenance requirements of different patterns. Some patterns may require more upkeep than others. This will be the case if you decide to go for smaller tiles with larger joints.
Material and Colour: The material and colour of the tiles can also affect the overall aesthetic. Natural stone offers a rustic charm, while porcelain can provide a more modern look.
Installation Complexity: Some patterns are more complex to install than others. Consider the installation process and make sure you have a professional to lay if needed.
