May it be your driveway, walkway or even your pool deck, any owner wanting to design or revamp any area of his home with pavers can get confused on the basics: what color and shape is the right one? There are so many designs to choose from. This whole choosing endeavor may be exciting but for most homeowners, choosing the right paver to install can be quite daunting.
When choosing the right color for your pavers, you must consider the immediate surroundings such as the walls of your house. Would choosing a particular color compliment or contrast? The key to finding the right color scheme is finding a complementary color palette. There’s also the matter of choosing between monotone or multicolored. Monotone pavers, with its pure and unvaried design, may show both large and small stains such as oil and tire marks over time. Anyway there’s always the option of replacing the paver. However, if you’re too bothered about a stain or two, you should consider multicolored paver installation that can blend seamlessly into its environment.
As for the shape, the predominant pavers are rectangular shaped. But as the industry grows and many manufacturers have acquired better machines, human ingenuity has come a long way. From axe-shaped to sixagons and shapes that can’t be quite defined, choosing the right paver will depend on the over-all appearance that you want to achieve. For those wanting a simple design, experts say that rectangular-shaped pavers will work.
The idea of choosing the right paver among countless designs can be quite a pain in the head but there are no right or wrong answers here. It ultimately comes down to personal taste and the right color and shape that works for you.
