About Building a Patio

When you choose your paving for the patio, try to see it laid somewhere in a real life situation. Don't buy on the basis of catalogue pictures. The colours are not always true; catalogue patios are often set up in a photographic studio, where the lighting will enhance the texture of the slab. You will rarely see a patio picture in a catalogue, without some form of planting around the edges. The art director knows that this enhances the effect of the paving - learn from this.
