The mid-century modern home in South East London has been transformed by a stunning Plykea kitchen renovation featuring Formica® Laminate.

This redesign seamlessly blends the classic aesthetics of mid-century modern style with the innovative functionality of contemporary materials. The kitchen interior design showcases Formica Laminate in F8793 Green Slate and F8238 Blush, beautifully complemented by a kitchen island in F5344 Seed.

The three laminate decors from the Formica® Colors Collection were selected not only for their visual appeal but also for their practicality and durability.

“We chose earthy greens and warm pinks to reflect our surroundings. The Formica laminate and birch edge ply work beautifully with the house's style and age, creating a mid-century modern Scandi feel that we aimed to preserve.” 

Rebecca Holloway, the homeowner
