Introduction: What Are Laminates?
Laminates are decorative surface materials used to finish furniture, kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, wall panels, and even flooring. They are essentially thin sheets composed of multiple layers of paper and resins, pressed together under high pressure and temperature.
The result? A durable, stylish, and low-maintenance surface that gives a wood-, stone-, fabric-, or abstract-inspired look — without the cost or upkeep of real materials.

- Office/study? Woodgrain or textured laminates add depth.
2. Pick the Right Color & Texture
- Light tones = spacious, airy feel
