When it comes to backyard patios, it’s often the cozy corners that hold the most charm. For the owners of this home, the vision of a snug outdoor kitchen and a square fire pit on their patio sparked inspiration. They opted for a two-tiered design to carve out distinct areas for both dining and unwinding.

To achieve this vision, both levels of the patio were adorned with Unilock Arcana™ in Vivanto. Using a blend of square and rectangular slabs laid in a random pattern, Arcana’s silky, matte texture and slip-resistant surface made it an ideal choice for the patio and fire pit. Its speckled color palette, born from delicate surface blasting, ensured a pleasing aesthetic that glistens under direct sunlight. Additionally, the inclusion of factory-sealed EasyClean™ technology ensures faster cleanup of spills before stains take hold, making it perfect for the outdoor kitchen area, where spills are likely to occur.

Adjacent to the kitchen, a patio table and chairs offered a vantage point for soaking in the patio’s elevated view. The raised platform and encircling seat wall, crafted from Unilock U-Cara with an Umbriano finish in French Grey and topped with Natural Stone coping in Golden Sand, harmonized flawlessly with the Arcana pavers. French Grey lent visual harmony, while the Natural Stone coping complemented the home’s brick façade and the fire pit’s warm hues.

Both U-Cara and Arcana boast EnduraColor™ technology, promising enduring strength and vibrant color for even longer. Adding to the ambiance, a mix of shrubs, flowers, and natural foliage embraced a biophilic-inspired design. String lights and embedded patio lighting ensured the patio and fire pit remained aglow long into the night.

This picturesque patio, with its unassuming yet thoughtful design, offers a snug extension of the home. If you’re yearning to craft a backyard haven that seamlessly integrates with your living space, delve into our paver patio design ideas for inspiration.
