Laminate Flooring Décor Tips

Ready to shop for a new laminate floor? Let TORLYS Décor Consultants guide you through this process.

• Casual Décor Style: Bevelled-edge laminate flooring planks   with textured surfaces create an "easy living" feel. You may   consider a richly textured laminate floor for a casual family   room - the heavier the grain, the more Casual the look.

• Traditional Décor Style: Rich, deep tones and natural   variations of Jatoba or Merbau laminate floors, enrich a more   traditional decor.

• Modern Décor Style: Minimal grain work best for a clean,   simple look. Consider Maple, Beech or Cherry laminate   flooring.

• To give your floor more definition select a Provence laminate   floor product featuring a 4 sided Bevelled edge.

• For a smooth look and seamless appearance, select a   product with square edge detail such as Park Lane,   Mainstreet, Manhattan or Pier 7 laminate flooring.

• The key to achieving the "lived-in" look is by layering colors and textures, mixing old with new,   and choosing well-worn or handmade materials wherever possible. Recessed bevel edge, will   give the look of a hand-scraped floor.

• Lighter colors of laminate flooring help small rooms appear larger; while rich, dark tones add   drama to large rooms to create a warmer, more intimate feel.

• For rooms with plenty of natural light, consider some of the darker tones available in laminate   flooring. If the room doesn't have a lot of natural light, you can lighten it up considerably by   choosing a lighter colour floor.

• You can visually expand the size of your room by selecting a strip floor from Mainstreet   laminate flooring collection, while a plank floor such as the Uptown laminate flooring collection,   enhances a larger room.
