I love when people use small pavers and tiles for a garden — it adds a sense of rhythm to outdoor spaces that you don't always get from those huge porcelain slabs. Of course, you can use them in combination with large tiles, too. It's just something that gives your patio and pathways a little more depth of character.
The other plus? If you choose rectangular pavers or tiles, you can have some fun with the layout as well. And there are a lot of layouts to choose from, but the one that captures my design imagination most is the 'stacked bond'. This basically refers to a layout where the tiles or pavers are stacked directly on top of each other, rather than offset, giving you clean lines and pure geometric forms.
