5 best 2021 garden stone paving ideas for patios & outdoors

1. Create stunning natural stone walkways

A small path made of natural stone will immediately inspire an enchanting sense of cosiness just like the feeling you’d experience in traditional cottages and whimsical gardens.

Regardless of whether you live in the countryside or the busiest urban area, you can landscape your outdoor setting by connecting your gate to the patio or front door with a natural stone walkway.

2. Consider different shapes

The classic geometrical lines created by square or rectangular tiles will always be a safe and versatile choice. However, don’t be afraid to experiment with other shapes.

As experts in stone, we can create the right circular and curved lines to complement the rest of your garden or outdoor area. If it’s a rounded patio you’ve set your heart on, don’t rule out our cobbles collections which can be perfect for creating the curves you are after.

3. Amplify your natural focus with a swimming pool

There’s nothing better to complement natural stone tiles and focus the eye than a splash of water. Our stone paving collections are perfect for framing your pool area. Easy to maintain and clean, meaning little work and therefore more time to relax poolside!

4. Get inspired with our garden paving ideas in different patterns

Tiles in the exact same colour will reinforce a consistent feel. 

Still, part of the beauty of natural stone lies in the fact that each of these paving slabs is literally one of a kind: why not take their natural differences to the next level by creating a composition of tiles in slightly different shades? We particularly love the colour variety in our Ash Buff Opus paving stones.

Sticking to a harmonious palette but playing with patterns in different hues, you’ll achieve an eye-catching patio that’s consistent but oozes personality!

5. Create a conscious contrasting effect

When refining your vision, we recommend considering your patio floor in relation to the rest of the elements on and around it. 

For example, some clever 2021 garden stone paving ideas consist of avoiding a busy effect by choosing tiles that contrast against your walls and furniture. Take for example our Heritage Minster Black Granite paving tiles which look simply amazing when paired with light oak, ash or rattan garden furniture.
