Resin drives are becoming increasingly popular due to their durability and aesthetic appeal. If you’re considering installing a resin drive, you’ll want to consider various ideas to find the perfect one for your home.
At Moli, we’ve put together five different resin driveway ideas to inspire you:
#1 Block borders
Resin bound driveways with block border: if you want to add some colour and definition to your resin bound driveway, consider using a coloured border. This can be done by using a different colour or type of resin to create a contrasting edge around the perimeter of the driveway.
You can use different shades to create a colour-blocked effect, or mix and match colours to create a more vibrant and eye-catching look. A border can also be used to separate different sections of the driveway, such as a parking area and a walkway.
No matter which resin bound colours you choose, a coloured border is a great way to add some personality and style to your resin drive.
#2 Patterns for resin drives
Resin driveways with patterns: if you want to create a more intricate pattern on your resin driveway, consider using a stencil. This can be done by laying the stencil on the wet resin and then applying a different colour of resin over the top.
You can create a range of patterns this way, such as geometric shapes, flowers, or even a custom design. A compass is always a popular choice among homeowners who want to make a mark on their property and put it on the map.
#3 Resin driveway colours
Greys
Grey resin drives have become increasingly popular due to their versatility and modern aesthetic. Grey is a neutral colour that can complement a wide range of architectural styles, and it’s a popular choice for those looking to create a sleek and contemporary look.
One of the benefits of using grey resin for your driveway is that it can help to hide any imperfections or stains that may occur over time, making it a low-maintenance choice.
Whether you choose a light, medium, or dark shade of grey, a grey resin driveway is sure to make a stylish and sophisticated statement.
Monochrome
Black, white or grey never goes out of style and resin surfaces in these colours look amazing with a rich tone that captures the eye and elevates the look of your whole house.
Moli’s Comet – one of the most popular blends that has a black colour base speckled with white and small greys to create a two-dimensional colour.
Moli’s Azure – a much lighter colour than Comet. It is a modern take on a classic shade with splashes of whites, greys and blacks to produce a sleek, minimalistic blend.
Natural colours
For something a little more colourful consider either;
Moli’s Mocca is a fantastic blend for neutral sandstone homes with the perfect mixture of soft browns, cream pebbles and hints of toned greens.
Moli’s Glow – a combination of shiny yellows and bold reds to engineer a colour that looks radiant along red brick properties and sandstone as well.
Another great option is moving away from the typical one-colour resin driveway design and adding a different colour resin border. The UV stable resin used in Moli installations means whatever colour option you choose they’ll look great for years to come.
#4 Resin driveway lighting
Adding spotlights to the edges of your resin driveway can create a dramatic and eye-catching effect. This is especially effective if you have chosen a different colour resin for your border, as the spotlights will highlight the unique features of your driveway.
You can install the spotlights on the ground alongside the edges of the driveway, or you can mount them on poles or other structures to provide a more elevated perspective.
To create a cohesive look, you can also consider installing matching spotlights on other features of your landscape, such as trees, plants, or walls. Spotlights are a great way to add some drama and ambience to your resin driveway and make it a standout feature of your home.
#5 Contemporary resin driveway designs
The traditional driveway is a straight, square shape, but if you are expanding then you can consider some alternatives.
If you want to explore effective design and maximise the space available, resin driveway design is agile and effective with curves, angles and inlaid patterns.
Swooping stark black through the centre of platinum grey resin driveways looks stunning.
Or, try balancing a dark grey blend against clean white resin stones to differentiate between parts of your home, accenting water features or greenery throughout your exterior and drawing attention to your property.
#6 Personalised touches to your resin driveway
Embedding your house number or house name into your resin driveway is a unique and personalised touch that can add character to your home. This can be done using stencils and different coloured resin, similar to how patterns and designs are created on resin driveways.
This is a great way to add a personal touch to your resin driveway and can make it a one-of-a-kind feature of your home.
