Out with the Old, In with the New
Enter the new year with a fresh approach to home design starring beautiful, easily cleaned surfaces for all those projects you just might start getting around to tackling.

New Year, New Home Projects
Now that we’ve entered a new year, it's a wonderful time to kick off some home projects. Maybe you're ready for that half-bath refresh or new kitchen countertops. Wouldn’t it be fun to know if your home had its own list of New Year’s resolutions?
You could introduce it to the latest style-savvy options in the Living Impressions™ Collection and get started on the updates that may have been on the back burner.
Here are some options to consider as you start scoping out your plans.

Beautify Multi-Use Areas
It might be time to reenergize your commonly used spaces with fresh surfaces. Kitchens and living rooms often function as the hub of family life. Are yours ready for a refresh? Likewise, bedrooms often pull double or even triple duty with pop-up learning and working stations, relaxation zones and (hopefully) a welcome place for sleep.

Create Peaceful Spaces
Life can be busy with full schedules and active families. You could consider creating a spa-like retreat in one of your bathrooms. Or maybe it’s time to jump on the organizing you’ve been meaning to do in your laundry room, home office or kitchen. Formica® Writable Surfaces are a great DIY addition for livening up a laundry room, bedroom, kitchen or play area.
Some people who previously loved their open-concept layout might now be looking to add a wall or two to break up larger areas and dampen sound. Consider a sleek barn door to subtly create some separation while adding a charming design element. And don't forget to establish a spot to sit and relax with an elegant coffee table.

Keep Maintenance and Cleanability at the Forefont
Whatever your project, it's important to consider the maintenance and cleanability of your surfaces. Formica Group has you covered with a variety of easily cleaned surfaces that offer a full spectrum of designs and colours. Forget sensitive natural woods or highly porous stone countertops that require sealing.
The Formica® Woodgrain Laminate Collection has your back when the cost and maintenance of the real thing aren’t palatable. You can also explore the dozens of patterns in the Everform® Solid Surface Collection. With optical solids, modern terrazzo and many other amazing options, this bevy of nonporous, hygienic acrylic solid surfaces could be just the thing for a kitchen or bathroom beautification. And don't forget FENIX™ Innovative Surfaces, a superb choice when a matte, anti-fingerprint look is was you crave.
