The style of a rectangular Colonial home can be complemented by brick-shaped or cobbled pavers. Also, the right paver pattern can also help trick the eye to make a space seem larger or help it blend with the surrounding landscape.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                                                                                        <footer class=\"alternating-text-footer\">\n                                    <a class=\"primary-cta-button\" type=\"button\" href=\"\/products\/pavers\/\" target=\"_self\">EXPLORE PAVERS <\/a>\n                                <\/footer>\n                                                    <\/section>\n                        <section class=\"alternating-image-container\">\n                            <figure class=\"alternating-image-figure\">\n                                                                    <picture>\n                                                                                    <a href=\"\/products\/pavers\/\" target=\"_self\">\n                                                                                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1406\" src=\"https:\/\/www.belgard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ANCHOR_N_BEL2016_RES_Pool_Border_LafittRusticSlab_Dublin_AquastylCoping_002_preview.jpg?optimize=low&amp;auto=webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.belgard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ANCHOR_N_BEL2016_RES_Pool_Border_LafittRusticSlab_Dublin_AquastylCoping_002_preview.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.belgard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ANCHOR_N_BEL2016_RES_Pool_Border_LafittRusticSlab_Dublin_AquastylCoping_002_preview-300x264.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.belgard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ANCHOR_N_BEL2016_RES_Pool_Border_LafittRusticSlab_Dublin_AquastylCoping_002_preview-768x675.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.belgard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ANCHOR_N_BEL2016_RES_Pool_Border_LafittRusticSlab_Dublin_AquastylCoping_002_preview-1024x900.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.belgard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ANCHOR_N_BEL2016_RES_Pool_Border_LafittRusticSlab_Dublin_AquastylCoping_002_preview-1536x1350.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/>                                                                                    <\/a>\n                                                                            <\/picture>\n                                                                                            <\/figure>\n                        <\/section>\n                    <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"alternating-component-container image-last\">\n                        <section class=\"alternating-text-container\">\n                                                            <header class=\"alternating-text-header\">\n                                                                        <p class=\"alternating-text-header-title\">Patterns based on architecture<\/p>\n                                <\/header>\n                                                                                        <div class=\"alternating-text-content\">\n                                    <p><h2>Choosing Paver Textures<\/h2>\n<p>The driving trend in modern outdoor living design is to create a continuation of the indoor living environment.
