Merino Laminates, June 2, 2021

If you are a homeowner looking to decorate or renovate your living spaces, you are more than likely to have already come across various kinds of laminates and the multiple applications they have in your home. Laminates are becoming an increasingly popular option to use in decorating interiors and have almost become an indispensable part of every living space. One of the world’s best and largest brands in decorative laminates for interiors, Merino offers an extensive range of laminates. Available in a plethora of colors, textures and designs, they have become capable of blending into every segment of your home.

Here is taking you through some pro-tips for using laminates in your home’s interiors.

1. Pick out laminates depending on their functionality.

There are specific laminates for every different part of your home. Select your laminate depending on which part of your home you want them to be used in. If your laminate needs are for an area that is more prone to wear and tear, you will want to use a high-pressure laminate which has the strength to withstand such use. Likewise, it is advisable to use an Anti-Fingerprint laminate in spaces that are likely to have more frequent interaction. Decorative laminates come in a variety of textures, colors and finishes. You might want to use a gloss laminate for your kitchen cabinets as opposed to other areas where you might prefer a matte, or a metal finish, all of which can be found under our Special Laminates category.

2. Select your laminates so that they don’t overshadow other elements of your home.

This is especially important when it comes to your living room and bedrooms, where visual appeal matters a lot. Make sure to pick laminates that blend in perfectly in color and texture with the other aspects of your home, such as wall color, the color of your curtains and other furniture. This is important to build an artistic charm and sophistication to your interiors.

3. Pay special attention to lighting

This is pretty much the rule of thumb in decorating interiors regardless of what material you use. Pay extra care in choosing laminates that complement the kind of lighting you have used to augment the aesthetics of your interiors- be it natural or artificial lighting.

4. Keep your finances in check

Decorating your interiors can be overwhelming with the number of options available out there. This is where laminate sheets come to your rescue because they are available in all price ranges and can be accommodated into just any budget.

5. Maintenance

This is one of the easier tasks if you want laminates to be a part of your interior. They are pretty much the most low-maintenance option you can think of. Barring a few things to be kept in mind such as doing some regular, gentle cleaning using delicate cleaning substances and removing stains and water spillages without much delay, they are quite hassle-free to have around your home. Remember to also not use rough or coarse material to clean your laminate surfaces. The ideal thing would be to use a soft fabric to dust and clean.

Decorating interiors of your home can be just the most thrilling thing to do. It can also quickly spiral into being a daunting task without the right guidance.
