analysis: Home Sweet Home: 4 Beautiful Driveway Design Ideas

1. Try brick

Notes:

• Brick driveways can fit into any home style, but we’re used to only seeing them outside of expensive mansions or in old-fashioned cities where asphalt is reserved for the road. 
• Brick adds some warm color to your driveway, as well as a brand new look. Whether you’re looking for an old-fashioned cottage vibe or you want that classy and smooth brick-paved style that you can imagine in front of your dream home, it can work for you.
• Make sure that you hire someone who knows how to lay brick pavement. Standard clay bricks aren’t ideal for this.

2. Go geometric

Notes:

• Your driveway doesn’t have to be one solid piece of material. While that’s a smooth look, you can do something a little bit different by letting some nature to shine through the cracks. 
• Imagine your driveway as a brick wall and the grass as the mortar. Placing large concrete slabs like giant bricks or stones to make a fresh and modern design gives you the stability of a traditional driveway but the creative touch of something modern and artsy. 
• Make sure you get the right contractor for the job (see this concrete contractor for ideas), so your vision can come to life.

3. Switch to gravel

Notes:

• If you already have an asphalt driveway and it needs a serious upgrade (they do crack over time), consider replacing it with colorful stones or gravel instead.
• While gravel is often considered the “bad” kind of driveway, it doesn’t all have to be brown and gray. There is a multitude of colors that can look both subtle and interesting to the passing eye. Find a set that matches your house and see if it works for you.

4. Arches and more

Notes:

• If you don’t have a garage, you can still have a serene space that hangs over your driveway. 
• Depending on your style, this can look a few different ways. Traditional concrete or stone arches can look classy, especially when they’re in solid white. 
• If that doesn’t feel right to you, natural-looking arches (such as hedges or a wisteria trellis) make for a sweet addition to your home. They also provide some marginal protection from the weather.
