Coastal alfresco tiles

Coastal alfresco floors are about seamless inside-outside flow. Pick a 20mm porcelain paver in warm sand, driftwood-grey, or pale travertine-look, then run the matching 10mm interior tile right up to the threshold so the floor reads continuous through the sliding door. Spec R11 slip for wet shoes and bare feet, and a colour that won't soak up sun. The tile should disappear so the view, the timber pergola, and the planting do the work.
