Use the floor to create the illusion of extra space
Running the same interior flooring outward will work to connect the two areas, and have the added benefit of making both the living space and the garden seems larger than they really are.
in terms of materials, natural stone is one that works in and out, but make sure it is non-slip, since polished tiles could be dangerous in wet weather. Some porcelain tiles can be used outdoors, but check with your supplier that they are appropriate before buying.

Avoid steps or thresholds
maintaining a level of continuous floor from inside to outside help spaces flow well together, so you can enjoy the garden even when you are inside. This may mean creating a level change in your garden, but, as we see here, it can work well and create a sheltered area to sit or dine.
