Hello, I could really do with some feedback on my patio ideas. The patio which will be outside my new conservatory. The size is 2.7 by 6 m. My house is a small cottage, white rendered, a slate roof, paths are Purbeck stone crazy paving style. I am trying to achieve a cottagey, informal look.
I have found some tumbled Indian limestone which matches quite well, but in order to get the colours I want I am restricted to two sizes - 275 x 275 and 275 x 560 - (I have found a very helpful supplier who'll let me sort through the crates, but only has these two sizes available for this).
I have drawn up some plans where they are laid as randomly as possible with just two sizes. I am concerned that it may just all be too small in the space. What do you think?
I have also considered brick pavers or cobbles, as a complete contrast. By the way I have looked at Purbeck, but new is still to be quarried and I don't have time to wait and reclaimed is extortionate! Sorry this is such a long first post. I am going round and round in circles and would really appreciate your opinions.
Thanks
