Selecting the right paver colour can make or break the look of your outdoor project. With so many beautiful tones to choose from, blacks, whites, beige's, greys, reds, and blues, it’s important to think beyond your personal preference and consider the bigger picture: how your patio, walkway, or driveway will complement your home and landscape.

 

At Landscape Liquidator, we carry one of the widest ranges of paver colours available, across all styles and budgets. Here’s our expert guide to help you choose a colour palette that enhances your home’s character and ties your entire outdoor space together.

1. Start with Your Surroundings

Before falling in love with a particular colour, look around at what your new pavers will sit next to.

Ask yourself:

  • What is the colour of your home’s exterior (siding, brick, or stucco)?
  • Are there other hardscaping features nearby, such as retaining walls, steps, or walkways?
  • What tone are your roof shingles, garage doors, and trim?

Choosing a paver that complements these existing colours ensures a cohesive and natural transition between your house and your outdoor space.

2. Warm vs. Cool Tones: Setting the Mood

Every paver colour has an underlying tone, either warm or cool, and that tone sets the overall feel of your space.

 

Cool tones include whites, greys, blacks, and blues.
These colours create a modern, crisp, and contemporary look. Cool tones pair beautifully with white, black, or grey homes, especially those with minimalist or industrial designs.

 

Warm tones include beiges, browns, and reds.
These colours add warmth and comfort, creating a more traditional or natural aesthetic. They work perfectly with tan, cream, or brick-colored exteriors.

For instance:

  • A grey or charcoal paver looks stunning beside a white or black home.
  • A beige or brown paver complements brown or tan exteriors beautifully.

If you’re not sure which direction to go, think about the atmosphere you want — cool for crisp and clean, warm for inviting and earthy.

3. The Power of Monochromatic Design

When in doubt, stick to a monochromatic colour scheme — pairing similar tones for a timeless, cohesive look.

For example:

  • A light grey patio with charcoal borders maintains a balanced, modern feel.
  • A beige paver body with chocolate brown accents feels natural and classic.

This approach is the safest and most common colour style, making your space feel intentionally designed and easy to match with accressories, furnature and more. 

 

Quick tip: natural materials like plants or wood in your yard can be viewed as neutral 'tones'. You may have heard "Black goes with everything" well so does nature!

4. Don’t Forget About Borders and Accents

Borders are a simple way to add visual definition to your patio or walkway — but they’re completely optional.

 

If you do choose to include one, try matching your border colour with the secondary or accent colours of your house (like shutters, trim, or roof tones).

Common pairings include:

  • Black border with grey pavers — clean, elegant contrast
  • Brown border with beige pavers — warm and traditional

Borders not only look great but also help frame your outdoor space for a more polished finish.

5. Extending or Matching an Existing Patio?

If you’re adding onto an older patio or replacing a section, don’t stress about an exact match — it’s often better to embrace the difference.

 

Trying to match pavers perfectly can be nearly impossible and may end up looking slightly “off.” Instead, choose something intentionally different but within the same colour family. This creates the look of a deliberate design choice rather than an afterthought.

 

For example:
If your old patio is a medium grey, try a lighter or darker shade of grey or even a charcoal tone for the new section. The slight contrast will look purposeful and stylish.

6. Take Advantage of Clearance Colours
