Modern Driveways
Sometimes driveways can be an afterthought and they’re typically not something you want to draw the eye too. The practical needs of allowing a car to drive up to the garage and providing enough room for parking can sometimes come first above aesthetics. However, these modern driveways prove you’ve got the opportunity to create a visually pleasing entrance to your home.
11 impressive modern driveways
Modern driveways don’t just need to serve one purpose. With some thought, your driveway could continue the aesthetics of the architecture and become integrated with the surrounding landscape. The following projects have used natural stone to create a feature of the entrance rather than trying to disguise it. The combination of materials, colour palette and soft landscape work together to make an impressive entrance.
