Light coloured paving is fantastic at making outdoor spaces feel light and airy. Brighter colours are known for this affect and if you have a northerly facing garden or just an area that doesn’t get much sun light using a lighter colour paving stone or tile is a great way to maximise light. As always when selecting your paving you should also think about how it will work with its surroundings – the colour of adjacent walls and the planting schemes should be considered. Various beiges are also used when trying to create a mediterranean looking space, so if this is your intention you should be thinking beige!
