Stylish Wood Laminates That’ll Instantly Elevate Any Design Lover’s Home

It’s no big design secret, but wood is an essential component of any aesthetically-pleasing, nature-inspired interior.

Besides bridging the gap between the outdoors and indoors, wood is also an unassuming material that’s surprisingly versatile, serving as a unifying decorative element for a wide variety of home design styles.

From the ever-popular Scandinavian look to the classic mid-century modern style, wood frequently plays a major role in interior design, bringing organic beauty and soulful character into bespoke dwellings. This notion rings particularly true for homes that recreate the wide array of tactile experiences found in nature via the inclusion of organic hues and textures.

However, besides utilising natural wood, homeowners nowadays have the luxury of tapping into modern-day alternatives, specifically high-quality wood laminates that are durable, friendly on the pocket, and most importantly, amazingly close in appearance to the real deal.

Below, are three woodgrain laminate options (plus matching interior design ideas!) from Jennings that’ll elevate any design lover’s home:

Bold and Beautiful: Dark Oak for Rich Contrast and Depth

Wood has plenty of natural appeal on its own, but it shines most when combined with other visually distinct materials. The resulting combination, in which Dark Sierra Oak’s earthy tones draws attention to other brighter hues, thus allowing chosen design elements to take centre stage inside a room.

For example, pairing kitchen shelves clad in a jade-inspired laminate with dark oak cabinets results in a striking, yet complementary visual contrast where the former stands out and the latter recedes.

In turn, this creates a focal point that immediately draws attention to the vibrant shelves; their green hues standing out against a backdrop of deep brown.

Calm and Cozy: Gris Kentucky for a Sophisticated, Grey-Wood Aesthetic

In this sophisticated living space, the design masterfully combines the elegance of marble-inspired patterns with the organic appeal of soft grey wood textures.

The feature wall is split into two contrasting sections: one side showcases a marble-effect laminate with gentle, warm-toned veins, while the other side features a fluted grey wood panel that introduces subtle texture and depth.

The marble laminate brings a refined, luxurious feel, adding a touch of opulence to the room.

On the other hand, the fluted wood texture enhances the space with a natural warmth, balancing out the cool sophistication of the marble. Together, these elements create a visually pleasing harmony, perfect for a modern, serene interior.

The soft, neutral tones on the wall complement the understated furnishings and earthy throw pillows, resulting in a cohesive and calming color palette.

This setup highlights the versatility of combining marble and wood-look laminates, demonstrating how they can work together to create an elegant, welcoming atmosphere that is ideal for relaxation and gatherings alike.

Light and Airy: Sorvette Wood Perle for a Scandinavian-Inspired Look

As dark wood is to masculine-leaning interiors, lighter wood tones are to homes where brighter, airier vibes are preferred. On account of this design synergy, homeowners who envision their future dwellings to be light-filled with minimalist vibes will do well to incorporate paler woods into their spaces.

In particular, Scandinavian-style homes are likely to benefit the most from the inclusion of light-hued woods as they’ll contribute to cosiness and natural simplicity – two symbolic qualities that are common to most Nordic-inspired interiors.

One laminate that fits the bill is Sorvette Wood Perle, its cool ashen tone enhancing the calm, tranquil vibes synonymous with understated spaces.
