Workspaces

Kids need a good place for homework, artwork, gaming, connecting, relaxing and more. Or perhaps you have a budding CEO who would love their own home office. Your child can pick their favorite Formica® Laminate pattern or colour to make their desk or workspace one of a kind.

 

Reading Nooks

Sometimes kids need a quiet spot to curl up and read or daydream. Craft a reading nook near a window to give your young folks a stylish place to get away for a while. Durable Formica® Laminate surfaces stay beautiful for years and resist light scratches and most impacts.

Bedroom Retreats

When it’s time to unwind or hit the sheets, a cozy bedroom is hard to beat. Formica® Laminate is an excellent option for making a headboard or bedframe that works with your child’s existing décor or colour palette. From woodgrains to solid colours, Formica® Laminate décors offer a wide range of design possibilities.

 

Bonus idea: Closet doors in Formica® Markerboard Laminate double as a blank canvas, and kids won’t get in trouble for writing on the walls! Explore dozens of Formica® Laminate colours and patterns available with dry-erase capabilities.

 

Mudrooms and Entryways
