Patio design trends: what’s popular for 2025?

05.02.2025
Patio designs are ever-evolving as outdoor living trends come and go, so do the materials and designs of outdoor flooring. Looking for the next trend in patio spaces is exciting and having the choice and budget to do so can help refresh your outdoor space, boost your well-being, and bring you closer to nature. Whilst following trends for patios in 2025 is always a priority, so too is functionality. Here at Premier Surfacing, we want to ensure that your patio is an area you can enjoy and maintain easily, but that also serves a purpose. Let’s take a look at what 2025 has in store for our patios and outdoor spaces.  

Patio Design Trends to Try in 2025

Whether it’s Indian stone, block paving, or resin-bound patios, design trends for patios in 2025 are varied and ensure that you can enjoy outdoor living this spring and summer. Below are what we believe to be popular this year.

Neutral Tones & Materials.

Neutral tones are popular in every aspect of life right now, and it seems to be no different for 2025 in terms of patios. Colours such as greys, beiges, and charcoals will be in high demand alongside a contrasting border in a darker or lighter shade, creating clean lines to define space. Natural toned materials also include: Porcelain – a popular material due to its durability and low maintenance, as well as being non-porous. Porcelain tiles come in a variety of colours and textures, creating both modern and traditional aesthetics. Concrete – patios created from manufactured concrete are highly adaptable to a variety of styles and preferences and can last for years to come.  

Bold Patterns & Colours.

Patio design trends for 2025 are following bold geometric patterns like herringbone, basketweave, and chevron, which are especially popular in urban areas. A circular patio feature is something that we expect to gain popularity this year, also providing the perfect focal point in your garden for a seating area, your garden table, or a fire pit. Paths are also expected to gain traction to create separate zones within your garden. Creating a charming garden path out of stepping stones, gravel, or small concrete pavers can help to show off more desirable areas in your garden.

Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Materials.

Sustainability will continue to grow into 2025 when it comes to patios and driveways, in terms of more permeable paving solutions. Naturally draining solutions such as porous pavers or recycled concrete can reduce flooding risk naturally whilst also providing a stylish design.

Block Paved Patios.

Not just a material used for driveways, block paving for patios is set to gain popularity this year, mainly because of the choice of ways it can be styled. Laying block pavers in a herringbone or basketweave pattern can create an interesting visual effect rather than the traditional layout.

Garden Walling.

Brick, stone, or concrete can be used to create low garden walls to section off different zones in your garden or patio, such as dining areas or raised flower beds, which help make your outdoors an interesting and enjoyable place to be. Creating walls around your patio is a trend gaining popularity in 2025.

Smart Lighting.

Lastly, incorporating lighting into your paving is both a functional and aesthetically appealing trend for 2025. Setting LED lights along the borders of your patio or into small walls on the border creates a sleek and modern aesthetic.
