- Consider the overall design tastes that you're going for with your outdoor fireplace tile design.
Your backyard deserves to be a reflection of who you are! It's easy for the design and style elements in one space to become lost when it begins to expand. So when it comes to honing in on and identifying the right tile design for an outdoor fireplace, there are a few key factors to help you understand what you want most, depending on your personal preferences.
- For the modern design lovers
If you’re looking for something sleek and modern, consider:
- Using clean lines and geometric shape tiles in your design.
- Opting for darker colors like black or charcoal gray -- glass mosaic tiles can be a wonderful option for this!
- A see-through fireplace so guests can enjoy the flames from all angles -- or even go for a white polished porcelain tile that will reflect the flames beautifully.
- For the classically chic at heart
If you’re going for a more classic look because timeless never goes out of style, consider:
- Using traditional materials like stone or brick tile
- Opting for a recycled subway tile that will be both sustainable and easy to maintain for years to come!
- For those who are luxury first
If you're going for a more luxurious look, try out these items:
- Use marble or granite for a classic yet luxurious look.
- Consider using brass inlay tiles or even mirrored glass tiles to give the illusion of more space.
- Embrace the outdoors
These days, many homeowners are choosing to install outdoor hearths to create a cozy gathering spot in their yards. That means you should treat your exterior space similar to your living room or kitchen — think, comfort, and ambiance for friends.
Here are some helpful tips to get your creativity flowing:
First, think about what type of atmosphere you’re trying to create: Are you going for cozy and intimate? Fun and festive? Relaxing and laid-back? The style of your design should reflect that.
Second, consider the size of your space: A large backyard may be able to accommodate a grand stone tile fireside, while a smaller patio may be better suited for a compact metal fire pit.
Third and final, make sure to choose a model that is durable and can withstand the elements. Outdoor fireplaces are a great way to extend the enjoyment of your yard well into the autumn months.
- When choosing a color scheme, it's important to consider the aesthetic of your entire home
After all, your fireplace should enhance and tie everything together, rather than stick out like a sore thumb. Ideally, you will want to choose a scheme that complements the exterior of your house.
Contrast a minimalist black firepit with a floor with flair! Our patterned porcelain terrazzo tiles are a stunning style complement, not to mention strong and heat resistant - perfect for a patio floor.
For example, if you have a traditional-style home with vibrant red brick or weathered stone, you may want to go with earthy neutrals such as a green tile or brown tile.
On the other hand, if your home has a contemporary flair with glass or metal accents, bold jewel tones such as deep blue tiles or purple tiles might be the way to go.
Of course, there are no rules when it comes to expressing your own personal design, so don't be afraid to get creative and experiment with different patterns and colors!
Whether you prefer bold prints or hushed hues, just remember that your fireplace is an expression of yourself – so make sure it reflects who you are!
- The size of your backyard and lifestyle preferences are important to consider
When choosing the right size for your new outdoor fire pit, it's important to consider how big or small of a space you have. If you want an inviting and warm feel in front of this feature item then make sure that its relative scale matches up with other elements around them such as tables/seating areas where people can enjoy their time spent outdoors together!
This beautiful backyard featuring our Dover Almond Tile has a modern rustic vibe that's just perfect for medium size spaces. The addition of an inviting fireplace would be ideal in this space, creating more relaxation areas where you can enjoy nature and your family!
If you have a smaller backyard, it is important to think about how big your fireplace will be. The size of the firebox affects not only its output but also what kind and amount of wood needed for cooking purposes.
Why does this matter? Well, the type of wood you use plays into this. Some woods burn hotter and faster than others. If you live in an area with long winters, you may want to choose a wood that burns hot and lasts long.

You should also consider the type of fuel you want to use. Some people prefer to use wood because it's more natural and environmentally friendly. Others prefer to use gas because it's more convenient and easier to control. No matter what type of outdoor fireplace you choose, be sure to consider fire resistant materials like glass, brick, porcelain and ceramic tiles.
