Across the Formica^® Laminate and 180fx^® Laminate collections  , you’ll find stone looks, woodgrains and patterns to create just the right concept. Whether your vibe is classic, contemporary, offbeat or Mid-Century Modern, affordable laminate sheets are a highly flexible surfacing option. With nature-inspired “biophilic” design and its impact on wellbeing so prevalent, you can even use Formica^® Brand surfaces to foster an indoor human connection with the outdoors, making a statement with colors and patterns reminiscent of plants, water and the Earth.       

Kitchens

The kitchen is often the heart of the  home. Give this important room new life in the form of a Formica^® Laminate table, dramatic kitchen island or countertop refresh. White marbles and other lighter selections bring out the beauty of complementary components like cabinetry, appliances and hardware, while d ark marble looks make a bold statement.

Bathrooms

Well-designed bathrooms add elegance and functionality to any home. Bathroom vanities are an easy way to try out a new design idea without tackling a remodeling project in a larger space. With the variety of luxe edge profiles available, you can add a finishing touch to your bathroom countertop as well.

Mudrooms

Families love having a drop zone where kids and parents alike can stash shoes, jackets and sports equipment away from the main living areas. This helps keep messes contained, especially when you incorporate shelves or cubbies for easy item retrieval. You might opt to establish a functional entryway near the front of your home or rework a laundry room or entrance off the garage. Either way, impact-resistant laminate surfacing that’s easy to clean is key to keeping your laminate surfaces looking their best. 

Laundry Rooms

Whether your laundry room is large or small, there are plenty of opportunities to add utility and style with updated countertops and cabinets. Incorporating Formica^® Specialty Markerboard  surfaces can give you a place for messages and doodles so you can have a little fun while you fold!

Home Offices

Formica^® Laminate is great for desks, shelves and cabinets. The latest laminate looks will get your home office, homework space or craft area in gear with clean design. Formica^® Specialty Markerboard  walls and desktops can also give you a spot for notes or even a family command center to keep everyone organized.

Basements and Entertainment Spaces

Whether you’re looking to create an entertainment space for kids, parents or both, Formica^® Laminate and 180fx^® Laminate offer a wide range  of patterns and colors to make your space durable and special. Basement bar countertops, barn doors and cabinets can all be outfitted in the décor of your choice to add a feel of upscale fun.

Garages

Garages and other unfinished areas are ideal for projects that get messy. Formica^® Laminate is as durable as it is easy to clean, making it a good worktop choice  for school projects, hobbies, repairs and other tasks.
