Home Gathering Spaces with Stunning Surfaces

Getting together with family and friends is a wonderful part of life, whether it’s on a random Tuesday or during a much-anticipated holiday celebration. Set the stage for your next fun-filled gathering with modern home designs featuring beautiful, durable surfaces that last long after the last guests leave. Explore hundreds of colours, stone looks, woodgrains and patterns from the Formica^® Brand Collection and FENIX^® Innovative Materials to get areas throughout your home ready to entertain.

Family and friends will naturally gravitate to your kitchen, especially when there’s food involved! A well-designed kitchen island becomes an aesthetic focal point that often pulls double duty as a functional worktop and a seating area. Serve up an inspired look with a statement stone pattern, sophisticated woodgrain or super matte FENIX® surface that will wow your guests. If you’re interested in exploring ways to pair woodgrains and laminates in your kitchen, we’ve got you covered.

Sharing a meal, playing a game or simply whiling away the hours sitting around the table with your favorite people can make lifelong memories. Freshen up your kitchen or dining room table quickly and easily by installing a new Formica® Laminate or 180fx® Laminate to the surface. Watch this video for a complete list of supplies and step-by-step guidance that will help you from start to finish.

When designing a home bar or serving area, selecting the right surfaces for countertops and cabinets is key to balancing style, durability and maintenance. FENIX® surfaces and Formica® Brand products including laminate and solid surface options provide resistance to stains, spills and scratches while offering a wide range of finishes that can complement the overall design. Coordinating the countertop, accent wall and cabinets not only creates a cohesive look but also ensures your bar or serving area is practical, easy to maintain and built to last.

Cozy living rooms and basements welcome family and guests before and after the meal. Tables, feature walls, doors, shelving and cabinets can all feature Formica® Brand products, whether you want a dark and moody vibe or something light and bright. For an elegant, anti-fingerprint surface, consider FENIX® Innovative Materials. These colour-rich selections are super matte and sophisticated, perfect for a minimalist design or as a backdrop to a more dramatic look.

Throughout your home, surface maintenance and cleanability should always be top of mind. With Formica Group, you’ll find a wide range of easy-to-clean surfaces available in an extensive selection of colours and designs. Unlike delicate natural woods or porous stone countertops that require regular sealing, these surfaces deliver both beauty and practicality across a range of high-traffic home spaces.
