How to Choose Laminate Sheets for Farmhouse?

Choosing the right laminate sheets for your farmhouse involves a thoughtful and strategic approach. Here are some guidelines that you can follow when you choose laminates for your farmhouse.

Neutral Colors

The best choice of colors for your farmhouse laminates would be neutral. Avoid using dark or bright colors, and don’t give each room a different hue. It doesn’t have to be white; choose a soft beige, cream, or even grey. Keeping all of the walls in the same color palette is very soothing and helps to tie everything together in your farmhouse decor. To achieve this, you can opt for light-colored laminates for your walls. Using laminates in place of paints for your walls also gives them a very rustic, vintage feel.

FAQs 

Q. How long does the laminate need to sit?

Laminate installation typically requires acclimatization. Allow the laminate sheets to sit in the installation area for at least 48 hours before installation. This ensures that the material adjusts to ambient conditions, preventing issues such as warping.

Q. Does laminate fade over time?

A laminate like Merino’s is designed to resist fading. The colors and patterns of our laminates will remain vibrant for a long time with proper care and maintenance.

Q. Is laminate easy to maintain?

The low maintenance of laminates makes them an attractive choice. It is usually sufficient to clean laminates regularly with mild detergent and a soft cloth.

Q. Does laminate protect from water? 

Although laminates resist water, prolonged exposure to standing water is not recommended. Keep the laminate surface in good condition by wiping up spills promptly and avoiding excessive moisture.
