It’s easy to set your sights on one porcelain paver color for your Florida pool deck, but there’s a myriad of factors that every homeowner should consider first before they commit to a stone style and color. You’ll likely have your porcelain pavers for decades, so it’s important to make sure you make the right choice aesthetically and functionally.
Our Hardscape.com design specialists have recommended a few considerations to keep in mind when deciding on the right porcelain paver cover for your Florida pool deck.
Match Your Home’s Aesthetic
When choosing the color of your home’s new porcelain pavers for your Florida pool deck, you want to choose a color that matches your home's already established aesthetic and color scheme, otherwise you’ll end up with a pool deck that sticks out like a sore thumb. By matching up your pool deck to the color and style of the rest of your home, you’ll have total cohesiveness from the front of your home all the way to the back.
Keep in mind, though, that your taste and style are one of a kind, so if you’re in love with a certain stone, our design specialists will provide you with a variety of solutions to make it work.
Where Your Pool’s Positioned Changes Everything
Depending on where your pool is positioned can drastically change our recommendations for which stone to go with. One of the biggest issues with absolutely any material for pool decks is the blistering Florida sun. Darker colored stone will absorb more heat, whereas lighter stone colors will reflect it better. This means that the hotter the day is, the hotter your pool deck will undoubtedly be. If your pool area is covered or has significant shade coverage, then a darker porcelain color would work. However, if your pool deck is completely exposed to the sun, it might be a good idea to stick with a lighter stone color. As porcelain pavers are stain-resistant, you won’t have to worry about a lighter stone color being ruined by a spilled drink or other substance.
Color Can Change Your Pool Deck’s Size
Your stone’s color can actually cause an optical illusion. Lighter color stones tend to make your Florida pool deck appear to be larger than it actually is, whereas darker stone colors make the pool deck appear cozier than its true size. While your pool deck naturally will cover the same amount of square footage, it’s important to keep your goals in mind for what you plan on doing with the space. If your pool area is going to be more geared towards having guests over, you’ll want something that appears far more expansive, whereas a darker colored stone will create a more intimate atmosphere for a much smaller group of people.
