Q: We are looking for a way to keep our neutral outdoor kitchen area and stainless- steel appliances from appear- ing bland, but we don’t want to add color. Is there anything else we can do to create more visual interest? A: Outdoor spaces already have a lot of color. Plants and the sky are hard acts to outdo. In areas where there is a lot of green foliage or colorful plants, it is advisable to create design interest and a little design “tension” with texture and/or pattern. By using pat- terned concrete floor tiles, also known as pavers, in a neutral color, you will create a more special area that draws the eye. This is one single element that can change an entire outdoor space. In addition to concrete pavers, which have become popular again with lightning speed, natural stone in honed and ham- mered finishes is classic.
