The owners of this long, narrow garden wanted to transform it into a sociable space for outdoor entertaining and relaxation with a boho chic style with lots of textural contrast. An existing run of steep steps and brick retaining walls was to be completely removed in favour of safer, statement steps and textured retaining walls. A new patio in large format porcelain tiles was designed to deliver an inside-out feel complementing the house's interior flooring. An old shed to the rear was removed and replaced with a large, modern garden room that does double duty as both a yoga studio and party/play room. To take advantage of the afternoon sun, a second small patio was created halfway down the garden. An eclectic mix of memorabilia and decorative accessories add a personal touch and provide pops of colour and visual interest throughout the garden. The new main patio was designed to provide plenty of room for al fresco dining as well as a lounge space with a modern outdoor sofa dressed with comfy cushions and storm candle accessories. The relaxing sound of water is provided in the shape of a spherical rainbow sandstone water feature while a large egg chair, surrounded by an eclectic mix of planters, provides views across the whole garden. New terraced retaining walls are finished in a splitface slate cladding for textural interest while an L-shaped run of wide steps lead you down to the lawn area where a stepping stone path leads on to the next area of the garden. A contemplation area, complete with lanterns and planters, is created at the halfway point with space for a pre-loved bench of sentimental value on which to sit and enjoy the afternoon sun. The whole area is zoned with the addition of a bespoke western red cedar pergola giving a sense of enclosure and linking this area back to the cedar batten boundary treatment at the upper patio level. To the rear of the garden sits a new, modern garden room, complete with its own disco balls and a patio just large enough for a bistro table and chair set. The area is completed with timber sleeper raised beds and a set of steps leading up to the main lawn level. A combination of low-maintenance planting and retained mature shrubs, complete the garden scheme while garden lighting extends the garden's use well into the evening.

Eclectic Patio with Tiled Flooring Ideas and Designs

Patios are the go-to solution for turning your garden, or part of it, into an outdoor living area. A well-laid patio will integrate your home seamlessly into your garden, providing a solid and level surface for garden furniture and potted plants. Well designed patios are about more than just paving slabs – its positioning and layout are crucial to how much you enjoy this space. Before you start picking out patio ideas for materials and laying your eclectic patio, ask yourself important questions such as what will you use it for? How many people should it accommodate? Which part of your garden has the best aspect and sunlight? Will the patio have enough privacy?

How should I position my patio?

If you are designing your eclectic patio as a space for entertaining then make sure it’s wide enough for the garden furniture you want so you haven’t got guests tipping over into the flowerbeds. Don’t be wedded to the idea of having your eclectic patio attached to the house; think about positioning yours elsewhere in the garden if that space doesn’t offer the best aspect or lighting position. Consider the position of the sun through the course of the day and depending on whether you are most likely to want to dine outside at breakfast, have lunch on your patio or host dinner outside, you may want to position your patio differently. You can connect patios to your house with a footpath or stepping stones to allow easy transportation of food and drink.

How should I design and lay my eclectic patio?

Rectangles are the classic shape for patios, not least because they make the most efficient use of space and can be softened with garden edging. However, a rounded patio or a paving circle can perfectly complement a garden which isn’t linear in design. Paving slabs come in an extensive range of materials and are the most practical surface for patios. Yorkstone has the most traditional appeal, whereas concrete blocks, granite and slate patio slabs have a great texture and colour for modern gardens. Natural stones such as limestone, travertine and Indian sandstone vary in colour and finish and are a great way to add shade and texture to your patio. For some patio ideas that offer an alternative to block paving, loose material such as crushed stone and wood chippings have a rustic and more casual feel; if there are specific materials that re-occur elsewhere in the garden, you could repeat this in your choice of patio materials for consistency. Finally, it’s not a British summer without the great British barbeque, so look at patio ideas that incorporate barbeques and think about how you could accommodate one on your patio.

What garden furniture does my patio need?

Rattan garden furniture is a patio favourite, offering a durable, attractive finish that blends well into natural surroundings. Metal garden furniture and wooden garden furniture are sturdy alternatives available in many styles. Weight is a good feature in garden furniture to stop it from being blown away, but if you want to be able to move your furniture around the patio and garden to follow the sun you won’t want to go too heavy. Browse the various eclectic patio ideas that include garden furniture to see what styles of furniture go with different types of patios. If you find a particular patio set you like, you may be able to ask the designer where the furniture is from so you can look at buying the same set for your patio. Good, outdoor patio furniture crafted in high-quality materials should withstand bad weather, but cold, wet British winters followed by strong sun in the summer will be enough to weather even the best furniture, so it’s important to have somewhere, such as a shed, to store it when not in use for long periods of time. If you don’t have the space to store patio furniture, make sure that at least the cushions and umbrellas are stowed away out of the elements, and consider investing in a waterproof cover. One piece of furniture that might be able to stay out for a bit longer is a patio heater; it will warm any brave patio users and most modern designs are built to survive the cold weather. If you prefer something a bit more rustic than a patio heater, look at fire pits instead which will add warmth and an attractive centrepiece to your patio. If privacy or shade is an issue, then covering patio furniture with a parasol or sheltering patios with a gazebo or pergola are both smart patio ideas – these can be covered in climbing flowers or even wound with outdoor fairy lights for romantic evening lighting.
