For the first time in the market of flooring laminate appeared thanks to the efforts of the company PERSTORF. Back in 1977, she first began to use it not only in furniture production, but also for organizing floor coverings. Thanks to this, the new material quickly became extremely popular. By the way, what is it and what do the colors of the laminate, so popular today, depend on?
Note that its name is translated as "layered material". Unfortunately, our fellow citizens still believe that the laminate is somehow related to the parquet board. Unfortunately, this has little to do with reality. In particular, its commonality with parquet is manifested only due to the texture, which resembles natural wood. Of course, the colors of the laminate can be a unifying parameter, since now products are produced not only with an imitation of wood pattern, but even marble and other materials!
But to create reallystunning interior in your home, you must consider several aspects at once. As you may have guessed, the laminate color palette you choose is of utmost importance. With so many options to choose from, it can be difficult to make a choice.
What are the best laminate colors for your home? It should be noted that when choosing a color palette, there are several basic rules. For example, when the windows of your room face south, it makes sense to choose as light a laminate as possible. White oak, maple and similar colors are ideal. If you choose the dark colors of the laminate, then on a sunny day all the dirt will be perfectly visible on such a floor.
On the contrary, in the rooms of the north side (or otherwise darkened), just the same dark flooring will look better. But in this case, it is unacceptable to neglect the size of the room. If it is small, then a floor that is too dark will visually reduce its volume even more.
Note that in studio apartments and small houses in which the space has to be divided into functional areas, it is best to use a dark laminate in the work area. But at the same time, you need to try to use walls and ceilings of light shades, since the game of contrasts looks the most beneficial. So before choosing the color of the laminate, it is necessary to think over the plan of the room in detail, otherwise the effect will be far from ideal.
In the kitchenit is best to use the tile imitation already mentioned by us. If possible, it is better to purchase a waterproof laminate, as the floor in this room has to be washed frequently. In any case, high-quality wax impregnation will certainly not be superfluous, and the strength class must be at least 32, otherwise it may happen that the dropped dishes will damage the flooring.
The most problematic area in the house in terms of wear and pollution is the entrance hall. In her case, you should not think about what color to choose a laminate, since only dark material with a high wear resistance class can maintain its attractive appearance for a long time. In a word, we do not recommend going to a hardware store “at random”, because otherwise you will not be able to create a proper interior, and subsequently you will face many problems.
