How to Make an Impact with Outdoor Surfaces

As the days grow longer and the temperature begins to rise, our attention turns to the great outdoors.  From BBQ surrounds, outdoor dining tables or even statement wall features, here at Cullifords we have a wide range of natural and man-made surfaces that are suitable for use in outdoor areas.

Bookmatched Marble Statement Walls

If you’re looking to create an exquisite focal point in your outdoor space, consider a bookmatched marble wall. Guaranteed to make heads turn, the unique detail and veining in the Lilac Polished marble slab is the perfect example of how to add a touch of class to your exterior. Characterised by a mixture of heavy and light veining in shades of white, ivory and rust, Rainforest Green is another striking marble originating from India. A flexible material in terms of style, this detailed and arresting marble will look just as outstanding on your exterior walls as it does inside the home.

Outdoor Cooking Area Surfaces

When it comes to outdoor cooking areas it’s important to make sure your surface choice will withstand the elements. Bringing a hint of sophistication to your exterior cooking area, the SapienStone ceramic collection is extremely durable and lightweight and as a result, the ideal surface choice for your garden, whilst the Brazilian Silver Mist granite is the perfect prep surface for those summer G&Ts.

Swimming Pool Surrounds

For a truly luxurious swimming pool scheme, consider using a striking surface on an exterior wall. An exquisite statement piece, the Nuvola Marble will look beautiful placed next to the reflection of an outdoor pool. A unique surface choice can also be used to connect the outdoors with the indoors. Here, our Lemon Spice granite has been used as a feature wall next to an indoor swimming pool but can be seen adorning the exterior wall through a vast window opening, creating an impressive and cohesively connected scheme.
