What type and colour of driveway?
What type and colour of driveway would look best with our house?
Before we started the build, we intended to do grey block paving like this: Brett Paving-Manmade 'Beta Trio'-Silver Haze-BLOCK PAVING (pavingsuperstore.co.uk)
But now we can see the house in situ we're wondering whether resin might suit the style of house better. I've seen lots of examples of gravel drives with this style of house like in the pictures I've attached below, - we don't like loose gravel but we'd do that colour in resin.
Or perhaps block paving with more of a mix of colours like this: Marshalls Drivesett Tegula Block Paving | Pavingsuperstore.co.uk
Or any other suggestions?
We're going round in circles trying to decide so any advice will be very appreciated!!

Comments (10)We have recently bought a house which has shared access with another and a pedestrian right of way to an apartment complex. Irritatingly the concrete pathway to the apartments is on our side of the otherwise gravelled driveway. There are a line of birch trees down more or less the centre of the driveway. However our neighbour put in bollards on our side of the trees dividing the driveway, giving him a wider driveway than ours by about eighteen inches all the way down and he also painted the centre gate pillar at the entrance the same colour as his wall on the other side. The previous elderly owner of our house didn't object. Our neighbour refuses to remove the bollards, which look incredibly ugly, and we can't do anything about it legally as we stupidly bought the house with the bollards in situ. I don't want to start WW3 and our budget is very tight but I would dearly appreciate any ideas on how we could make the entrance look pretty. The pathway has to remain wheelchair friendly....See MoreWhat colour and type of flooring does everyone suggest ?
Comments (9)Can I suggest you consider either a "glued down" floor from Karndean, or alternatively either their Palioclick or Korlok products, which are click lock flooring designed specifically for "wet" areas such as kitchens & bathrooms, and are extremely hard wearing? You can choose whether to lay before or after installing the kitchen itself, and there are a wonderful range of both tile and woodgrain options. A sample image of a white kitchen with a Korlok floor that was narrow and with limited light - I don't have an equivalent with a similar worktop to yours, but trust me - it would look wonderful!...See MoreWhat colour and type flooring?
Comments (2)Hi, Hope you don't mind me getting in touch! My name is Lucy and I'm working on a new TV series about people renovating their kitchens. We would love to hear from people in the UK who have ordered/near ordering their kitchen. The show is documentary style, with a well-known presenter who has over 20 years experience in the building trade. I wonder if this may be of interest to you? If so, please pop me an email with a contact number, budget, and brief description of timescale to Lucy.Cooper@PiProductions.tv. Kind regards, Lucy...See More

11 days agoMy sister has a resin drive, not cheap but it looks fab and weeds don’t grow there as they would in block paving. Hers is a sort of creamy peach colour a bit like this. It also has a bouncy feel when you walk on it. I like it! Take care of who you use as there are a few dodgy landscapers out there following the trend.
