Laminate flooring blends aesthetic appeal with practical functionality, making it a popular choice for homeowners looking to reinvent their living spaces. Known for its durability and ease of maintenance, laminate flooring provides an array of design possibilities, fitting seamlessly into various interior styles – from the contemporary to the classic.
What Makes Laminate Flooring So Special?
High-density fibre boards (HDF) are the foundation of each laminate plank, meticulously crafted from sustainably sourced, compressed softwood. This process yields a remarkably stable base, ideal for the everyday demands of a bustling household. The surface of these planks is no less impressive. Thanks to advanced imaging technology, each laminate piece is set with ultra-high-definition scans of real wood. This attention to detail results in an authentic hardwood appearance, with the durability of an engineered board.Added Water Resistance
A highlight of our Natureffect range is the Aqualock series. This line is a marvel of modern flooring technology, offering enhanced moisture protection, much like our Bjelin Hardened Wood Flooring and Cortejo Luxury Cork Flooring. The Aqualock laminate planks boast a water-resistant locking mechanism, tested to withstand water ingress for up to 36 hours. This feature is particularly beneficial for areas prone to spills and moisture, ensuring the longevity of the floor while maintaining its aesthetic charm.Our Interior Design Ideas Using Laminate Flooring
To seamlessly integrate laminate flooring into your home, we have put together a few pointers – touching on the ins and outs of our Natureffect range and the various ways it can be implemented into new or existing interior designs.For the Living Room
Create a warm and inviting atmosphere in your living room with our Sunwashed Oak – with its light and airy feel, it’s sure to complement modern minimalist interiors, enhancing spaces with clean lines and neutral tones. Alternatively, for a more traditional or rustic look, consider the Bracken Brown Oak. Its deeper, richer tones pair beautifully with classic furniture and vintage accents, adding character and depth to your living space.
For the Kitchen
The kitchen, often thought of as the heart of the home, requires flooring that combines style with practicality, and the Wheaten Tan Oak is an excellent choice here. Its natural oak tones and subtle grain patterns offer an organic feel, ideal for farmhouse-style kitchens. For contemporary kitchens, the sleek and sophisticated Fenland Oak, with its smooth finish, works incredibly well with modern cabinetry and high-tech appliances, creating a seamless and chic aesthetic.
For the Bedroom
In the bedroom, you might be tempted to use carpet, for optimal comfort, but with a neutral laminate floor, you are free to play with different rugs, opening you up to greater interior design potential. The Hay Bluff Oak, with its soft, neutral palette, invokes a sense of calm and relaxation, perfect for a restful environment, while pairing effortlessly with soft textiles and gentle lighting, making it an ideal choice for your bedroom.
For the Hallway
In areas that see a lot of heavy foot traffic, the durability of laminate flooring can come into its own. Our Aqualock range, particularly the Cromar Sands Oak, with its light and natural charm, is not only tough and resistant to wear but also visually expansive for narrower spaces like halls and entryways, making them appear more open and welcoming.
