Your Countertops, Your Way
Not all kitchen countertops have to look the same! If you’re about to embark on installing new countertops or a whole new kitchen design and need a little inspiration to get you started, you’re in the right place. It’s easier than ever to create a highly personalized space with countertops that feature the perfect look and the ease of maintenance and durability you need for design longevity. Here are a few tips and tricks.
Explore the Wide World of Laminate Kitchen Countertops
Are you up for a bold color? Or maybe you fancy an all-white kitchen with a marble look? On the other hand, perhaps you’d like to blend warm wood tones with a stone look for a cozy gathering place. Whether you’ve already decided on standard high pressure laminate or want a large-scale granite, woodgrain or handcrafted artistic vibe, you’ve definitely got options.
Your kitchen is a reflection of your personal design style, and Formica® Brand Laminate features an extensive array of options to help you craft the look you crave. When approaching your project, think about the components you’ll be keeping (wall colors, furniture, appliances and/or cabinetry), and then begin looking at laminate selections that will work well with existing elements. If you have an island, you may find inspiration and helpful color pairings in this article.
