How to Choose Paver Colors: 5 Stunning Styles in 2022
When it comes to any design, color is important. The right color can enhance the personality of your living area, while the wrong one can make it feel claustrophobic.
When selecting a color for your patio, choose one that is in harmony with your project’s style and color scheme, fits in with your current landscaping and makes sense for how you'll use the space.
Choosing the Right Paver Color

What are the goals for the space you are designing? Consider non-tumbled pavers in a natural or gray tone with clean lines if you're adding patio pavers to your meditation garden and want a tranquil atmosphere. Would you like to add something bold?
Consider putting a pattern on your driveway or patio that will make a statement. There is a style and color that is perfect for you, whether rustic, modern or anything in between. Once you have considered the style, it is important to think about how color will affect the space. Dark colors can make a small space appear even smaller while light colors can make a space appear larger and more open.
Some other factors that you need to consider are:
- The Color Of Your Home: If your home is white, you may want to use gray pavers to create a contrast. If your home is red brick, you may want to use red or tan pavers.
- The Color of Your Roof: If you have a dark roof, you'll want to use light-colored pavers so the space doesn't feel too heavy. If you have a light-colored roof, you can use either light or dark-colored pavers.
- The Color of Your Landscaping: If you have a lot of green in your landscaping, you'll want to use gray or tan pavers so the space doesn't feel too busy. If you have a lot of flowers, you may want to use brightly colored pavers to add a pop of color.
Once you've considered all these factors, you can narrow down your choices and select the perfect paver color for your space.
What is the Right Paver Surface Texture?

The paver texture adds depth to your project. You might want a smooth texture in the area where you'll put a rug in the sitting area. Aim for more texture around your pool to avoid a slippery surface. If you're covering a large space, you may wish to consider various paver patterns and textures. This may help separate spaces for different activities like grilling, dining or socializing.
Different Paver Surfaces
- Chiseled Edge: These pavers have clean lines and a more formal look.
- Smooth: These pavers have a sleek, modern look because of their smooth surface.
- Textured: These pavers have a rough surface, which is perfect for areas around pools because they provide traction and prevent slipping.
