Trendy and Chic: Unveiling the New Elite Laminate Collection

In the world of interior design, it’s the details that make a home truly stand out. Livspace is excited to introduce its new Elite Laminate Collection, a stunning ensemble of high-end laminate finishes designed to spruce up your interiors. 

We’ve taken everything you love about laminates and turned it up a notch to bring you a range that’s as trendy as practical. Featuring innovative textures, chic pastel mattes and anti-fingerprint finishes designed for modern homes, this collection is one not to be missed! 

But what exactly is a laminate, and what makes the Elite collection so special? Let’s dive in.

What is a laminate?

Ever walked on wooden floors that felt super smooth under your feet? While they look like wood, it is the laminates that are at play here. Laminates are synthetic materials made by pressing thin layers of flat paper and resins together. These are then treated to create a hard-wearing, durable surface that can mimic a variety of textures and materials. From wood to stone to fabric, laminates offer versatility in design options making them extremely popular in the world of interior design.

What are the different types of finishes under the Elite Laminate Collection? What is the colour range available?

While Livspace has an existing collection of glossy, matte and special laminate finishes, our new Elite collection is committed to ensuring your home reflects the latest design trends. The Elite Laminate Collection also boasts a broad spectrum of colours, from subtle pastels to warm, earthy hues. Whether you’re drawn to serene tones or bold statements, the new collection holds a shade to suit every taste. Without further ado, let’s explore this brand-new range of exciting finishes! 

Fluted laminates: 

Fluted laminate finishes are a nod to contemporary design trends. These laminates feature parallel grooves, known as fluted textures. The fine texture brings in sophistication and the curvy grooves add a rhythmic, architectural element to your interiors, making any space look chic and refined.

3D Geometric laminates: 

These laminates have raised and 3D patterns that you can both see and feel. The raised patterns add a dynamic, textured element to your surfaces, creating a visual and tactile delight. By introducing a new dimension to your living spaces, they add a layer of depth.

Fabric laminates: 

True to their name, these laminates emulate the look of fabric. Their intricate textures and muted hues permeate the space with a sense of warmth and softness, offering a perfect option for those seeking to envelop their interiors in the gentle embrace of finely woven threads.

Metallic & Shimmer laminates: 

While the metallic laminates impart an industrial and moody vibe, the shimmer laminates with their mirror-like finish can make your home feel bigger. These laminate finishes also bring a touch of glamour and futuristic appeal to your home and are ideal for adding a bit of radiance and shine to your interiors.

Natural stones are a popular choice in Indian home interiors owing to their unique appearance. Inspired by nature, stone laminates mimic the natural beauty and texture of stone while removing the upkeep factor from the equation. They are great for creating an earthy feel in your space while making the space feel grounded and luxurious.

Digital print laminates: 

Bored of plain and boring designs? We’ve got your back! With tessellating patterns, digital print laminate finishes are the fitting choice to add character to your space. Perfect for those who prefer patterns and prints instead of solid colours.

Applications: Where can you use these laminates?

How is it different from the laminate finishes under the classic laminate collection?

While classic laminate finishes have long dominated interior design, the new Elite Laminate Collection offers a variety of trendy options.

Current trends show that more homeowners are leaning towards multi-sensory finishes, preferring a mix of textures to make each area stand out. This is where the Elite Laminate Collection shines. While the classic collection provides aesthetic appeal, the new elite range combines texture and beauty.

Maintenance tips

1. Daily cleaning: Use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and mild soap to wipe down laminates. This helps remove everyday dust and dirt without causing damage
2. Avoid harsh cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or steel wool, as they can scratch the laminate surface
3. Stain removal: For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive liquid or cream cleaner. Apply it to a soft cloth and gently rub the affected area. Always wipe dry with a clean cloth to prevent water damage
4. Avoid excess water: While cleaning, avoid excessive water on the laminate surface. Wipe spills immediately to prevent moisture from seeping into the laminate joints or edges
5. Protect from heat and sharp objects: Use coasters or mats under hot cookware or utensils to prevent heat damage. Avoid placing sharp objects directly on the laminate surface to prevent scratches
6. Avoid wax and polish: Do not use wax, polish, or varnish on laminates, as they can leave a residue or damage the surface finish
7. Regular maintenance: Regularly dust or vacuum laminates to keep them free from dirt and debris. This prevents buildup and maintains the laminate’s appearance over time

By following these maintenance tips, you can ensure your laminates remain clean, beautiful and durable for years to come.
