Use kitchen tiles to decorate garden?
I have 3 boxes of lovely shinny lime green tiles, I would like to use them in the garden to add colour. Have been laying patio slabs so want to use with this.

Tile a planter
Hi Ju, some stepping stones with those tiles would look nice. Like these tables, but using small patio pavers instead

You could use them on the side of planters. If they are shiny be careful using them as path pavers, they'll get slick when wet.

Make a Tiled Garden Container Planter for Frugal Upscale Decor
What dimension are the tiles and what material are they made out of?
Maybe as a border, edging or trim for your pathway? They probably aren't strong enough to walk on, unless they are floor tile. Good idea for using them! Be safe!
Be careful about using them where you walk, they'll get really slippery outside
You could use them as a border
Hi Ju. I'm Cindy. You could flip some on their sides and use them to go down your driveway or your sidewalk.
Thank you all some great ideas đ
Glossy tiles will be way too slipping to lay down as a path or patio plus indoor tiles arenât meant to withstand outdoor weather in that manner. If you search Hometalk using the bar at the top left, Iâm sure youâll find a load of inspiration to use the tiles outside.
