Shapes and Colors of Pavers-So Many to Choose From

Unlike brick and concrete, pavers and the wide variety of shapes and sizes that they come in can be used to create a visually attractive and stimulation centerpiece for your home or office space. Pavers are very much like puzzle pieces, different sizes and shapes along with varying shades of color can all be intergraded together to create an overall charming and pleasing composition.

The Shape of the Paver:

          
        Choosing the right shape of paver is a fun task, and if you give your contractor some guidance as to the type of feeling you are trying to achieve in the space, he/she will be able to help guide you. Although there are some shapes that you would not want to mix and match, there are some that when mixed can create a stunning effect and can give visual interest to an otherwise mundane space.

Pavers come in all different shapes and sizes. They range from hexagons to pentagons, octagons, parallelograms, fans, x-shapes, key-hole shapes, W-shapes and let’s not forget the traditional square and rectangle paver.

The Color of the Paver:

            When considering what color of paver would best be suited in the space you are designing, consider these questions:

1.)    What is the overall feel of the space that you are trying to achieve? Are you going for more a more rustic or more contemporary feeling?

2.)    Are you trying to make the space feel cozy or make it seem visually expansive?

3.)    Are there existing colors in the space that you need to work with? For example the house?

The colors of pavers range from blues to grays, from browns to reds, from charcoals to tans. Pavers are an excellent solution if you are looking to add a bit of warmth and character to your space. The type of landscaping that is in the space will also play a role in what type of pavers would be most suitable. For example, if you have more traditional landscaping, contemporary pavers may not be the best fit unless you intend on redoing it at some point.
