Warm Buff Is Back: Why British Sandstone Paving Is the Go-To for 2025 Gardens

After years of cool greys dominating outdoor design, warm buff tones are making a strong return. Designers and homeowners alike are looking for materials that feel inviting and grounded. British sandstone paving in light buff hues offers just that — soft, natural colouring that reflects light and pairs effortlessly with greenery, timber, and metalwork.

Whether it's for paving, walling, or bespoke features, buff sandstone provides a timeless, neutral palette without feeling sterile. Its warmth adds depth and visual comfort to both contemporary and traditional gardens. With a range of finishes available — from hand riven to diamond sawn — it's a material that's both flexible and inherently British.
