About PaVedstoneSolutions Work
Colour, Sizes and Design
Colour is a powerful decorating tool that can visually expand or contract an area, add the impression of light or depth, warmth or coolness. PaVedstoneSolutions colour selection is an important issue not to be overlooked in outdoor design, because even what you would see as natural tones in paving or retaining walls can actually have a touch of yellow, pink, brown or stone. We will assist you in choosing a colour scheme with similar tones for a coordinated effect.
** Remember - Light colours reflect the light and open up an area, whereas darker tones absorb light and make areas appear smaller. Pale tones will visually lift a shady, darker area.
Latest Outdoor PaVedstoneSolution Colour Trends
The latest colour trends are leaning towards lighter, natural and neutral colours, bringing to mind images of sand, shells and the holiday mode. When choosing colours, select shades that harmonize with the area. Pavers a couple of shades lighter than the colour of the house or building do not compete for attention.
Colour Scheme Considerations
When deciding on your PaVedstoneSolution colour scheme, consider:
- Where the sun hits, how long it stays sunny in that area, how much shade is being cast in that area?
- Do you want to make that area look larger or smaller?
- Do you want to create a particular mood, e.g. bright, fresh, or exotic?
- Are there existing colours that need to stay? Consider existing exterior house walls, the roof, guttering and drain pipes, which you may or may not wish to change colour or repaint
Classic PaVedstoneSolution Designs
For ornate Victorian style houses, repeat the curves of the arched windows and doors by designing curved edges. For rectangular, colonial styles repeat the shape by using brick- shaped pavers. For buildings with simple, straight lines and little ornamentation, PaVedstoneSolutions create pavers with interesting shapes and install them in a simple geometric pattern.
We can make narrow spaces like paths and alleys appear wider by laying the pavers on a diagonal or in rows running across the area. Wide spaces can look narrower by running rectangular pavers the length of the area.
PaVedstoneSolution Texture
Changing the texture of the pavers can also add interest. Smooth, rounded surfaces should be used where people are walking, playing or bicycling. Jagged, rough-textured surfaces can be used in areas of less traffic to create an accent or border. The patterns chosen will create the illusions necessary for the look you are trying to achieve.
PaVedstoneSolution Shapes
Most people consider rectangular shaped pavers to be the standard or normal looking shape. Some homeowners are looking for something different, a design that is unique to their home, something visually interesting.
Many geometric shapes lend themselves to modular paving. There are a large variety of shapes, such as hexagons, pentagons, octagons, parallelograms, fans, keyhole-shapes and personal shapes the client designs. |
