5 inspiring ideas for a driveway.

1. Symmetry and contrast.

At first glance, the performance of this driveway-car park does not surprise with anything special. The ingenuity, however, lies in the right choice of color matching the facade colors and their contrasting reflection in the surface. Dark and light colors of paving stones, as well as their appropriate arrangement – straight lines and right angles corresponding to the shape of the building – made it possible to obtain an exceptionally interesting effect. Undoubtedly, the key to success is skillful handling of the elongated paving form. Turning the dark-colored paving stones by 90 degrees in relation the light-colored ones visually separates the parking area from the rest of the driveway. As you can see, not only fine patterns can give an interesting effect.

A contrasted, black and white arrangement of the driveway is complemented by plenty of beautiful greenery. The main role here is assigned to Solid, Medio, and Galaxy surfaces. All of them were used in striking configurations. On the driveway, a timeless herringbone pattern (Solid) appears, and the sidewalk is made of loosely laid Medio slabs. Between them, a brick-and-green strip with Solid and ecoSolid slabs was placed. Effect: unconventional, dynamic, contrasting, and modern.

2. Modern elegance.

Sometimes the surface should be only the uniform background of the house. This is the case in this project. Melange paving stones colour and their enlarged format – this is all it takes to create a minimalist, yet elegant and modern setting for unique architecture. The use of patterns, different textures or colors could disturb the perception of the whole project, introducing chaos. Sometimes less really does say more.

3. A prelude in the form of a driveway.

A long driveway turns out to be a kind of introduction to the proper part of the house surroundings. The use of material homogeneous in color and form from the very beginning of the driveway will allow you to unify all the components of the house surroundings, and thus help you build the atmosphere of the property already from the entrance. The consistent with the facade color surface forms a uniform background for a strong accent – both in terms of color and form – the roof. As much and as little is enough to make the surroundings of the house look ordered and harmonious, and thus create an extremely positive first impression.

4. Patterns and colors.

By using bold colors and shapes in the pavement, we energize the space, avoiding monotony and commonality. Such projects, though highly attractive, require skill. Overdoing it can lead to chaos, which undermines any intention of achieving a unique effect. In the following projects, patches of white were skillfully juxtaposed with the boldness of Trikolor camel. This approach prevented the pavement from dominating the arrangement. The effect of uniqueness is enhanced not only by combining an impressive mix and an unusual pavement pattern but also by using a substantial amount of subdued green tones. The result? A distinctive and standout feature amidst the monotony and grayness. No one will pass by indifferently.

5. Eco-friendly driveway.

The so-called eco blocks and pavers allow for the construction of permeable pavements that allow water to seep into the ground. Designing a driveway can therefore combine not only stability and hardening but also environmental care. This task is undoubtedly much easier when using products that enable the integration of solid and openwork pavements in the project. This is the case with this driveway. Vjetra® blocks were used in two layouts, enhancing the arrangement with a gothic color blend and an interesting pattern. The open spaces were filled with grass, creating a cohesive whole. Let’s give it an eco A-plus!
