Patio Pavers for Faux Rugs
Custom Faux Rug Style Patio Paver Stone Design and Installation in Sacramento
One of the biggest trends in outdoor design is making outdoor areas look like indoor rooms. This creates the illusion of outdoor “rooms,” which are simply separate spaces where people gather. It is comforting and practical to divide your outdoor areas into different areas where people do different tasks and activities. The style of turning your outdoor areas into living areas like we have in our indoor areas is apparent in all sorts of outdoor living details, from furniture to lighting. The goal is to create beautiful, comfortable outdoor spaces where we can live with as much comfort, style, and ease as we do in our indoor spaces.
A great way to do this is with patio pavers.
Patio pavers can be designed and arranged to look like area rugs. This helps to reinforce the concept of rooms. There are as many great ways to do this as there are ideas in your imagination. But if you are having a hard time thinking of how to do this, just think of arranging your patio pavers for faux rugs. Think of the way that area rugs define rooms, and then arrange your paver stones to look like area rugs. Here are just some of the ways you can use patio pavers for faux rugs. If you are considering a faux rug style paver stone application or any other type of paver stone installation project in Sacramento, reach out to the experts at The Paver Company.
Fireplace Area Rugs out of Paving Stones
The fireplace is the center of the living room. There are two ways living room rugs can be placed. They can be placed right in front of the fireplace to create a hearth area, or they can be placed right in the middle of the living room with the furniture grouped over them. You can use paver stones to give the look of fireplace area rugs too. You can create a hearth space in front of the fireplace with Fireplace Paver Stones, which gives you a beautiful, cozy look. You can also use different colors and sizes of paver stones to create a square or circular area that you can use as a benchmark for grouping your outdoor chairs or couches. Whatever you choose to do, you will love spending time in your outdoor living room gathered around your outdoor fireplace!
How to Use Paving Stones to Create Different Outdoor Rooms

Indoors, there are several ways to signal that one room has ended and the other has started. Walls are an obvious way that this happens. Another way is that the flooring changes. You may have tile in the kitchen, wood floors in the living room, and carpet in the bedrooms, for instance. You wouldn’t put carpet or wood outdoors, but you can create the same effect with paving stones. You can choose a different color of paving stones for your kitchen area and your living room area. Or you may choose the same color of stones, but opt for a different laying pattern to draw the differences between the areas.
Make Intimate Conversation Spaces with Paver Stones
Indoors, you might use an area rug to define a small space in the midst of a big room. You might pull chairs around this small space to create a little conversation area. You can do the same thing with paver stones, simply by creating a separate and beautiful design for just the spot that will be the faux area rug.
