Top Terracotta Paving Ideas

Alternatively, they can be placed upright to create a practical border full of colourful Mediterranean flowers and plants such as fragrant rosemary and lavender or even the exotic passion flower and olive trees. 

If you’re a lover of all things Mediterranean, why not take inspiration from the contrasting contemporary colours you see as you stroll down the narrow streets of Majorca or Italy. We absolutely love terracotta tiles paired with aqua blue and golden yellow for a really vibrant and positive Mediterranean feel. 

If you love the gardens of Provence, why not create your very own sanctuary full of French-inspired flowers and foliage for a truly relaxing outdoor experience. Reminiscent of the cobbled streets of rural French towns, our Old Provence tiles will add a touch of Provencal living to any home. Pair with vibrant lavenders of various shades to provide an uplifting contrast and depth to your garden that takes you back to those summer evenings, relaxing in the south of France. 

If you’re a green-fingered garden lover, you’ll want to make the most of your outdoor space all year round. Creating a cosy cabin to snuggle up in during those winter and autumn months (or even on those drizzly British summer days) is the best way to embrace your garden, whatever the weather! 

Terracotta tiles really stand out when paired with exposed brick due to the range of clay, burnt orange and pink hues within the bricks themselves. We have truly fallen for the outdoor fireplace within this cosy pavilion! Don’t you just want to roast marshmallows and drink hot chocolate whilst the rain pours down? We know we do! 

Terracotta paving stones look beautiful when placed next to water. Whether you have a water feature, hot tub or are lucky enough to have an outdoor swimming pool, the blue hue from water perfectly contrasts with the orange tones in the paving stones. Blue and orange sit on the opposite side of the colour wheel, that’s why create such a harmonious and tranquil feel when paired together. 

If you want to take this style one step further, why not pot your plants in deep blue ceramic pots to tie everything together? 

If you’ve been following our blog for a while, you’ll know how much we love the quintessentially British style! That’s why we love the look of our terracotta brick pavers, inspired by the landscape heritage of National Trust gardens throughout the UK. We have such a rich and inspiring history of architecture and landscaping in Britain and we at Westminster Stone love to embrace and celebrate this. 

Pairing terracotta brick pavers with traditional British flowers such as the vibrant purple alliums pictured below creates a timeless and elegant feel to this country garden, and we love it! 

As the seasons change, so do our moods and taste preferences. The great thing about terracotta tiles is that they are extremely versatile and can be styled to suit the changing seasons. 

Not only do they look great during summer’s golden hour, contrasting with lavender meadows, they also look beautiful when autumn leaves begin to fall. The rich and earthy burnt oranges, auburns and yellows bring out the vibrant terracotta colour and almost wrap your garden in a blanket of warmth. 

For the perfect autumn porch, style terracotta brick pavers with a range of pumpkins and autumn leaves of all sizes and colours for a truly inviting and cosy entrance to your home.
