Hello everyone!
We are considering the paving design for our courtyard and driveway.

We have built a “modern” city villa and want the paving to match this style.

We have basically settled on anthracite-colored paving stones...

One supplier offers a stone (Lusit Crescendo) in different sizes, and we are unsure which to choose! Does anyone have actual photos of their paving in any of the sizes they plan to use?

30x20x8 cm (12x8x3 inches) at 16.50€ per m² (square meter)
40x20x8 cm (16x8x3 inches) at 19.50€ per m² (square meter)
30x10x8 cm (12x4x3 inches) at 18.00€ per m² (square meter)

We need to pave just under 160 m² (square meters) in total...

Are there any experiences regarding the “stability” of the paved area related to the different stone sizes?

Maybe you'll dare to stand out from the uniform anthracite grey?

We have mixed formats... sometimes no gray at all.

I don’t know what else would suit our house... :-(

Well, I can see it from the moon without glasses:

30x10x8 at €18.00 per m² (10.8x3.3x2.6 ft)
and specifically in the laying direction "parallel to the front door," with an offset of half the width.

I’ll turn it around: Anthracite does not suit your house. The brick would be lighter than the paving if it were anthracite; I would do it the other way around. It doesn’t have to be colorful right away.

We have now decided on paving stones measuring 30x20x8 cm (12x8x3 inches). The same stones in the size 60x30x8 cm (24x12x3 inches) will be laid on the terrace.
