LARGE SCALE PATIO PAVERS: EMERGING TRENDS
This phenomenon is closely related to the development of "indoor/outdoor living," as it is known in the design community. This design idea, to put it simply, refers to outdoor living arrangements that carry over into the indoor space. Larger tiles and broader wooden planks for interior flooring have become more and more popular over the past few years. It was only logical to carry this tendency outside to produce designs that transition more smoothly from one area to another. And when the market for larger pavers kept expanding, a wide range of design choices started to appear.
Frequently Used Paver Face Textures
Although smoother faced pavers with sharp, clean lines are becoming more and more popular, natural stone textures have been popular for several years and still are today, especially in some areas. The popularity of woodgrain-textured pavers has increased along with the popularity of porcelain pavers. One of the biggest trends in interior flooring, interior wood appearance porcelain tile, is becoming more and more popular, which is shown in this. This style is especially useful in outdoor settings since it provides the appearance of natural wood without any staining or care concerns.
There is a proverb that states, "Bigger is better." Large scale pavers are undoubtedly one of the trendiest trends in today's outdoor living design, despite the fact that this is sometimes not the case at all.
Plank-Style Paver Trends
You guessed it...The rise of woodgrain pavers was a logical progression for the plank shape. Concrete pavers in the plank style are very popular in addition to porcelain designs. Wider planks are increasingly common with woodgrain porcelain pavers since they more closely resemble wooden decking and also follow current trends in indoor flooring. However, both wide and narrow boards, with rough and smooth faces, are popular in concrete styles.
Shapes for Large Pavers
Being square is absolutely trendy, and the bigger the better. This is seen in several porcelain paver lines as well as slab-style pavers. Regular porcelain orders come in squares up to 24 inches by 24 inches, and customers can also purchase porcelain pavers in even bigger proportions. Large rectangles, on the other hand, are also extremely common, which more accurately reflects the most recent developments in interior flooring.
Large-Scale Paver Laying Patterns
According to paver shape, many pattern styles are popular. In fact, the stagger patterns more frequently found in interior flooring are in contrast to the straight (or stacked bond) lay that is most frequently seen with square pavers. Although they are less common, diagonal patterns are occasionally encountered as well. Although rectangular and plank pavers are most frequently put in a staggered running bond, herringbone patterns are also used in more daring designs. Multiple paver forms and sizes are used in the modular ashlar patterns, which are also very popular. By staggering the paver field's edge or employing squares in a checkerboard or stepping-stone pattern, a recent trend is to entwine the pavers with the surrounding landscape.
