Breathe life into your outdoor entertainment area with Amber's stunning tiles and pavers

If you’re planning a refresh of your outdoor entertainment area — or building a new one from scratch — you’re likely on the hunt for high-quality tiles and pavers. As Australia’s resident tile and paver experts, Amber has plenty of sage advice for both indoor and outdoor applications. ArchiPro sat down with the team to learn more. 

Your tile and paver guide 

Before you select a specific product, it’s important to consider the key factors that make for a great tile or paver. 

“Look for slip resistance, strength, and colours that will complement your home’s material palette,” says Elie Habib, Amber Product Manager. “A timeless look and natural tones also help to ensure the space feels inviting for years to come.” 

 When selecting colours, Elie suggests considering the location and level of sunlight the space will receive, as well as the existing colour palette of your home.  

“Lighter colours reflect sunlight and stay cooler, while darker colours absorb more heat. If your outdoor space gets all-day sun, it’s probably best to opt for a lighter colour palette,” says Elie. 

Amber has a vast collection of beautiful natural stone and porcelain products for all kinds of indoor and outdoor spaces. Below are Elie’s stand-out picks for your upcoming outdoor project. 

Travertine  

If you’re designing a wet area or patio, Travertine in Ivory and Platinum is ideal. Naturally porous, Travertine cools down faster than other pavers, making it comfortable underfoot.    

“The natural tones blend seamlessly into outdoor landscapes, and the stone feels timeless and luxurious. We tend to suggest Travertine pavers for pool surrounds as the stone creates a cool, slip-resistant surface that nails that resort feel at home.” 

Limestone 

It’s a classic for a reason. With its soft, natural colouring, Limestone works beautifully for garden paths and alfresco areas. 

“Limestone’s natural texture creates a slip-resistant surface so you can feel comfortable and relaxed moving throughout your space,” Elie says. “Plus, its warm, sophisticated finish suits any architectural style.” 

Porcelain 

​Modern, versatile, and low-maintenance, Porcelain pavers have the look of natural stone with added strength. 

“Porcelain tiles are great for patios, alfresco dining areas, and garden pathways, offering a sleek, durable surface that’s easy to keep clean outdoors.” 

Amber’s Porcelain pavers, including Lava, Tundra, and Primal, are available in both tile and paver sizes, with a wide range of colours and finishes to choose from. 

Natural Stone Cladding​ 

Elevate your outdoor entertainment area and create a striking backdrop for kitchens, barbecues, or fireplaces, with Natural Stone Cladding. 

“Our Natural Stone Cladding is a great choice for feature walls as it adds texture and character to entertaining spaces,” Elie says. 

Ambers’ collection includes products for both indoor and outdoor applications, with a range of quality indoor options to complement and connect to your outdoor space. 

“We stock so many different looks to suit every style and budget, making it easy to find the right product for any outdoor design,” Elie says. “Trends such as French pattern layouts, crazy pavers, and earthy tones are especially popular right now; we love these creative approaches that add personality and timeless appeal. If you have a particular style in mind, please get in touch with our team, and they can help you find the perfect solution for your project.”
