Creating an elegant outdoor space relies as much on your paver selection as it does on your furniture arrangement and lighting. Elegant spaces are inherently neat and professionally put-together. Large format pavers can grant your patio floor the clean, sleek appearance required to complement the rest of your sophisticated hardscape design. They create fewer jointing lines, which makes the area seem more spacious and tidy. Their geometric designs are also often suited to the perfectly regular shapes found within most sophisticated modern hardscapes. Here is a selection of Unilock pavers that promise to make your outdoor spaces even more chic.

These pavers are available in a variety of subtle, neutral colors that are versatile enough to complement an even wider variety of hardscapes. This smoky New York Blend variation is a great candidate for outdoor kitchens as they pair well with glistening chrome appliances. Incorporating warm wooden cabinets or counter tops into a kitchen paved with these cool toned Treo Enduracolor pavers is guaranteed to create a unique contrast.
This color variation is also compatible with bright colors, at it allows them to stand out. Pops of color can be incorporated into a patio design by investing in eye-catching accent pillows or by surrounding the area with vibrant flowers.

Richcliff Pavers
Richcliff pavers are the perfect balance between earthy outdoor elements and contemporary elegance. These large format pavers are available in sophisticated grays and sandy hues that are perfect candidates for sweeping staircases of large, open patios. However, they are also fairly textured and bear the distinct look of natural, quarried stone.
Consider using other hardscape features to echo the rustic touch created by the rugged finish upon these pavers. For example, fire features that have a warm, natural appeal can balance patios filled with furniture and decor that seem to belong indoors. Water features similarly maintain an outdoor theme within any hardscape and will pair well with the stone-like textures of Richcliff pavers. You can also use materials with an antique finish to construct your retaining walls and fire pits. This fire pit showcases the timeless look of Estate Wall, which contrasts more refined elements in the design.
Bristol Valley Pavers
Bristol Valley pavers, similar to the Richcliff pavers mentioned above, have a pleasant rustic feel that can personalize your modern hardscape design and allow it to retain its natural, outdoor appeal.
There are subtle blends of different colors upon each surface and when paving a large area, these various gradients combine to form a sea of light crests and dark hollows. Having a slight variation in color or texture across a large expanse of pavers is important to prevent the surface from appearing monotonous. If you are designing a tropical pool deck or sunny al fresco dining area, consider one of our richer shades like Bavarian or Sierra, which will add a vibrant glow to your patio.
