Our outdoor guides are the most-read corner of this blog, so here is the forecast readers keep asking for: the patio tile trends for 2027, spotted in what designers are specifying right now for spring installs. If you want next year’s patio instead of last year’s, this is the report — and every trend comes with an in-stock tile that ships from Laredo, TX.
1. The scalloped pool deck
The biggest shift of 2027: fishscale tile leaves the shower and goes outside. Around pools, the scallop pattern echoes the water and turns the deck into part of the design. Our FS-107 Terra Cotta fishscale does it in the warm clay tone that patios love.
FS-107 by the pool: the scallop echoes the water line.
2. Terracotta stays, but gets a shape
Terracotta remains the outdoor color of the decade — 2027 just gives it better geometry. Instead of plain square pavers, the clay tone arrives in scallops, hexagons and patterned fields that make the patio floor the design statement.
The same terracotta, a smarter surface.
3. Moroccan pattern, outdoor edition
Moroccan-inspired pattern keeps its grip on outdoor design — our Moroccan patio guide is read year-round for a reason. For 2027 the palette softens: weathered tones like Moorish Weathley that look sun-faded on day one, so they age gracefully instead of fading noticeably.

4. The outdoor room gets a rug
Outdoor living rooms keep growing up, and 2027 zones them the indoor way: a patterned tile rug under the seating area, plain field around it. Cement tile is the material that makes it work outside — pigment through the body, no printed layer for UV to erase.
5. Built for weather, not replaced by it
The thread through every 2027 outdoor trend: surfaces chosen to last decades outdoors. Cement tile handles sun and rain with simple sealing; see how it compares long-term in cement tile vs. vinyl, and get your quantities right with How Many Tiles Do I Need? (patios reward a 10% cut allowance).
