Featured laminate: PK039CT (TV Cabinet)
Take a look around your house. You’ll notice that laminates are commonly used on tables, kitchen cabinets, and any wooden furniture. The use of laminates isn’t limited to only home furnishing, but can also be applied on your house walls to enhance the appearance of your home.
One way for you to do that is to start with a feature wall, which can turn any room in your house from ‘nice’ to ‘stylish’. As High-Pressure Laminates (HPL) come in a wide array of colours, designs, and textures, you can expect to impress your guest whenever they visit.
Designed to mimic expensive materials such as marble and timber, laminates are the cheaper yet highly durable alternative in home décor. However, with a plethora of options available in the market, choosing the right one for your wall can be daunting at times.
Ahead, we’ve put together five types of laminates that are designed to bring out the best of your space.
Sleek And Clean

There’s a reason why light-coloured, untextured wall laminates are preferred in the living room of many Singaporeans. It gives off a minimalistic atmosphere while keeping the room looking simple yet stylish. One example will be the feature wall above.
The sleek and clean feel of the wall laminate will blend easily whenever you decide to change the living room furniture. For homes with limited spaces, light-coloured wall laminates can brighten and widen the space as it reflects more light than dark-coloured laminates.
Accent Wood

As one of the most expensive materials for home décor, marble laminates can certainly add instant glam to any room without the hefty price tag. Take the hallway pictured above as an example. You can easily impress your guest with a laminated feature wall that looks as real as it can get.
Depending on the tone of marble that you choose, it can easily compliment light to dark furniture. Make sure you opt for glossy marble laminate to enhance the texture’s authenticity.
