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, 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 Manhattan   laminate flooring collection, while a plank floor such as the Uptown laminate flooring   collection, enhances a larger room.
