So cover your ugly poured concrete patio or build a new patio that adds more usable space in your backyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These brick patio ideas will help you design the perfect brick patio for your outdoor living space.<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Circular (Round) Brick Patios<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arranging the bricks in a circular pattern can give your backyard an interesting patio design. However, you\u2019ll need more space in your backyard to build your patio because the usable square footage is smaller. You don\u2019t have the corners like you would with a square or rectangle patio. For maximum space, consider adding a curved portion to one of the straight sides of your patio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another great option is to use the bricks as a round patio located in the middle of your backyard. It can be a small patio that joins multiple walkways together. A circular patio is also good as the base for a fire pit because the round patio mirrors the round fire pit. Consider building one in your garden for a small bench or a cafe table and chairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Fire Pit Designs in Brick Patio Setting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Adding a fire pit to your backyard gives you a warm gathering place. The fire adds a gentle glowing light that is perfect for evening entertaining. The warmth from the fire helps keep you comfortable when the temperatures dip. Bricks are heat-resistant and durable, making them perfect for building your fire pit. You can build a pit that\u2019s the perfect size for your backyard and budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a fire pit seems a bit too casual for your backyard, then build an outdoor fireplace instead. This patio idea is perfect for turning your patio into an outdoor living room. Instead of Adirondack chairs, arrange living room inspired patio furniture<\/a> like a sofa and accent chairs. Build a cover over the backyard patio furniture so that you can enjoy the fireplace throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Interlocking Brick Patterns for Stylish Patios<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When using rectangular-shaped bricks, you aren\u2019t stuck with laying them in rows. While you can use this simple pattern for the walkways, get more creative with the large spaces, like the patio area. Use the paving stones to create an interlocking pattern. For example, a herringbone pattern looks a bit like a chevron pattern, but the angled bricks interlock with each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also paving stones that come in a specific shape designed for interlocking. When looked at individually, the stones look strange and lopsided. However, once you start placing them, you\u2019ll see that they perfectly line up with the stones around them. The finished look is an interlocking pattern that looks intricate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Modern and Customizable Brick Paver Designs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Modern clay pavers are the next generation of red bricks. They come in more colors so that you can choose a custom color for your paver patio. They also come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. This helps you create a custom design by using more than one type of paver for your patio. Perhaps you use a wedge shape to create a circular pattern. Then add a border and transition into using a square, rectangle, round, or hexagon shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider the size, shape, and color when picking out multiple pavers. They need to be different enough to look purposeful and complement each other for a cohesive design. For a modern look, consider using grass as a part of your design. Depending on where you live, you could use moss, dwarf mondo grass, or artificial turf to add natural green accents to your paver design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Traditional Red Brick Patios<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Red brick pavers give your brick patio design a traditional look. They are perfect for a colonial style or another classically designed home. They can also elevate the look of your home. To keep the traditional feel, stick with the standard brick size and have them professionally laid. This ensures they have the proper base so that they don\u2019t shift or sink over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan to add a finished edge of larger bricks or pavers to your red brick patio. A metal rail or concrete edge is also strong enough to hold your bricks in place. This gives your patio a polished look that keeps it in line with traditional designs. Simply using more brick isn\u2019t enough and won\u2019t be strong enough to hold your bricks securely for the long term. You also need to think about the pattern you\u2019ll create with your red bricks. Laying them in lines is easy but boring. Place them in a herringbone pattern for an elevated look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
