Rediscovering Victorian elegance


Step into the world of Victorian front garden paths, where the intricate artistry of mosaic patterns reigns supreme. From the iconic 'black and white chequerboard' geometric design to elaborate 'box and star' masterpieces, the possibilities are as vast as they are captivating.


Geometric tiling, a hallmark of period properties, particularly those from the Victorian and Georgian eras, not only boasts durability but also symbolises social status.

- what design options are there for a Victorian tiled garden path?


Classic black and white chequerboard pattern:
  • The black and white chequerboard pattern is perhaps the most iconic design associated with Victorian tiled paths. This timeless pattern features alternating black and white 10x10 tiles laid out in a grid-like formation, creating a striking contrast and visual interest.

  • The simplicity of this design makes it versatile and suitable for various architectural styles, from Victorian-era homes to modern residences.

  • It offers a clean and sophisticated look that can instantly elevate the appearance of any outdoor space.

Black and red chequerboard pattern:
  • For those looking to add a pop of colour to their Victorian tiled path, the black and red chequerboard pattern is an excellent choice.

  • Similar to the black and white design, this pattern features alternating black and red tiles arranged in a chequerboard fashion.

  • The addition of red tiles introduces warmth and character to the path, making it stand out while still maintaining a classic aesthetic.

Classic borders:
  • Borders play a crucial role in enhancing the overall look of Victorian tiled paths. Classic borders typically feature a combination of black squares, white or red triangles, and black tramlines.

  • These borders serve to frame the main pattern of the path, adding visual interest and creating a cohesive design.

  • Using geometric shapes such as squares and triangles adds a decorative element that complements the overall Victorian style.


Intricate multi-coloured arrangements:
  • For those seeking a more elaborate and ornate design, an intricate multi-coloured arrangement offers endless possibilities.

  • This style incorporates a diverse range of colours, patterns, and motifs to create a truly unique and eye-catching tiled path.

  • From floral motifs to intricate geometric patterns, the options are limitless, allowing homeowners to customise their path according to their personal taste and preferences.

  • While more complex in design, a multi-coloured arrangement can add a touch of whimsy and charm to any outdoor space, making it a standout feature of the property.
