How to Style a Summer Lounge with OUTERclé Tiles
(That Everyone Will Be Talking About)

It doesn't matter whether you're enjoying your summer lounge in your property for yourself or you are placing ads for your space on Airbnb, you want your guests to rave about it online. Who knows? You can even make staggering more sales.

But, of course, guests, or you and your housemates are looking just beyond the experience when staying at a space. You guys are likewise looking for aesthetics. After all, no one can be energized to try a restaurant's food if there is no fancy interior, can they?

So, brace yourself for a summer like no other in your lounge. When summer arrives, homes and other spaces naturally extend outdoors. The patio becomes a dining room, the balcony morphs into a reading nook, and the poolside transforms into a gathering space.

True enough, it's never an overnight job when achieving the look and the feel you want for your summer lounge. However, among the things overlooked by property owners when designing, styling, and building these lounges are the tiles. In this guide, you'll be enlightened on how to style this lounge using one of the most sophisticated outdoor tile brands around, OUTERclé. Let's get started.

OUTERclé for the Stylish Homeowner

OUTERclé, a leader in artisan outdoor tiles, stays true to its mission: providing meticulously crafted surfaces that celebrate craftsmanship. Like your favorite handcrafted coffee, their designs feel rare and elevated, not mainstream.

Their extensive catalog is recognized as one of the world's most comprehensive collections of outdoor tiles, surfaces, and objects, all built for pools, paths, and patios.

Their outdoor ceramic tiles by OUTERclé, in particular, strike the perfect balance between beauty and function; ideal for summer lounges designed to impress.

Best Tile Ideas for a Summer Lounge

1. Terrazzo Tiles

   Tiles of the terrazzo type are fantastic for summer because they exude coolness in themselves. They're crafted from marble, granite, or glass chips in concrete or resin. So, even though you are barefoot walking around the pool or inside your shower room, they will feel nice on your feet. Classic yet timeless.

2. Vitrified Tiles

   Also perfect for the summer season are vitrified tiles, thanks to their outstanding properties. Basically, a piece of vitrified tile is made by heating silica and other materials to a smooth, glassy surface. They won't only stay cool in summer, but are also tough, stain-resistant, and simple to clean, perfect for busy spots that tend to get messy when temperatures rise. They shine, too, of course.

3. Porcelain Tiles

   Alongside ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles are very Asian. However, they are denser and more rigid. Resisting moisture and stains, they are suitable, especially for mini-kitchens and bathrooms with an outdoors look, more so because they mimic the look and feel of natural stone or wood, indeed a superb flooring option for the summer.

4. Marble Tiles

   Marble tiles are classic, and while not the most ideal near pools, obviously, since they are slippery when wet, they are perfect for summer lounges by your main door, such as when conversing on a warm afternoon or over tea. They're beautiful. They're practical. They remain pleasantly cool even under hot temperatures.

5. Artisan Tiles

   Last, but certainly not least, are artisan tiles. These tiles are perfect for summer lounges due to their vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and cool-to-the-touch surfaces. Handcrafted and unique, they bring a Mediterranean charm that complements breezy, sunlit spaces. Durable and moisture-resistant, they're ideal for both style and function, transforming lounges into artistic, inviting summer retreats.

Styling a Summer Lounge with OUTERclé: Best Practices

As you consult with your designer for inspired tile styling for pool lounges and summer outdoor spaces, it is vital to keep these best practices in mind:

• Start with a vision: Define your lounge's vibe -Mediterranean, coastal, or boho, and let it guide your tile choices. OUTERclé offers collections that match every aesthetic.
• Choose a hero surface: Make one area, floor, wall, fireplace, or fountain, the visual star using bold, handcrafted tiles like cement or zellige.
• Layer in texture and tone: Mix glossy and matte finishes, play with tile sizes, and embrace tonal variations for a curated, organic look.
• Make it summer-ready: Choose tiles with slip resistance, heat management, and durability for safe, comfortable outdoor lounging.
• Complement with thoughtful furnishings: Use natural materials, coordinate palettes, and layer rugs and accessories to soften and balance the space.
• Don't forget the edges and details: Elevate the design with tiled risers, borders, or tabletops using Outerclé's mosaic options.
• Lighting that makes tiles shine: Use warm lights, lanterns, and step lighting to enhance tile texture and mood.
• Make it yours: Blend collections, create custom layouts, or echo natural surroundings for a personal, one-of-a-kind lounge.
