5 Trendy Laminate Colours to Elevate Your Living Room with a Luxe Look

Merino Laminates, April 11, 2025

Some rooms speak in hushed tones, while others command attention the moment you step inside. Your living room, the heart of your home, sets the stage for everything that unfolds within its walls. And colour is an element that holds the power to shape its story. A quiet elegance, a bold modern edge, or something in between, the right shade doesn’t just decorate; it defines your interiors.

Solid-colour laminates, also known as sunmica, have become the unsung heroes of interior design, blending seamlessly into different styles while offering durability that withstands time. They sit on surfaces, but they also shift, reflect, and transform. Laminates have a dynamic presence — they shift, reflect, and adapt to their environment. Be it the calm of neutrals or the intensity of jewel tones, they add a layer of effortless charm to your living room.

Here are five shades of laminates that promise to bring refinement, warmth, and a touch of quiet luxury to your living space.

Monterey Elm – The Timeless Appeal of Natural Elegance

True elegance lies in textures that tell a story. Monterey Elm, with its deep, rich grain and warm undertones, brings a quiet sophistication to any space. Whether as an accent wall, panelling, or statement furniture, its natural beauty adds depth, creating an atmosphere that feels both refined and inviting. Paired with our Luvih collection, Monterey Elm takes on a new dimension. The velvety matte finish enhances its organic charm while offering resistance to scratches, moisture, and daily wear—a lasting beauty without the upkeep of natural wood. Picture a TV panel bathed in soft light, a dining table that invites lingering conversations, or a feature wall that sets the tone for timeless interiors.

Luvih Laminates For Timeless Interiors

High-Gloss White – A Modern and Spacious Feel

Minimalism and modernity are not just about simplicity—they are about redefining elegance with timeless appeal. High-Gloss White captures this essence, blending sophistication with simplicity to create spaces that feel expansive, luminous, and effortlessly elegant. With Tuff Gloss MR+, the beauty of gloss meets resilience. Unlike traditional glossy surfaces that demand constant upkeep, these glossy laminates are crafted to resist stains and smudges, ensuring a flawless sheen with minimal effort. Think of a sleek, contemporary living room, floating shelves in High-Gloss white seamlessly blending into the walls, a statement TV unit with a lustrous finish that enhances the room’s brightness, and a minimalist coffee table that reflects soft ambient lighting. The result is a space that feels airy, refined, and undeniably modern.

Charcoal Grey – Understated Luxury with a Contemporary Edge

Luxury whispers in shades of Charcoal Grey—deep, poised, and effortlessly elegant. It doesn’t clamour for attention; instead, it lingers in the background, shaping a space that feels both grounding and sophisticated. In the hush of a monochrome palette or the warmth of earthy tones, it unfolds like a quiet symphony, adding depth without overpowering. Charcoal grey-coloured laminates weave texture into this poetry, and matte finishes from Luvih echo the raw allure of stone and concrete but with none of the burden. Picture a living room where a velvety TV backdrop anchors the space, floating shelves that exude modern charm, or an accent wall that speaks volumes in hushed tones. Paired with the glint of metal or the softness of neutral hues, Charcoal Grey embodies the essence of refined living.

Champagne Gold – The Perfect Balance of Glamour and Subtlety

Golden hues that whisper elegance, a shimmer that feels like warmth—Champagne Gold is more than just a colour; it’s an experience. It brings a quiet luxury to living spaces, catching the light in just the right way and wrapping the room in a glow that feels both sophisticated and inviting. Perfect for TV units, coffee tables, or custom cabinetry, this muted metallic hue transforms everyday interiors into spaces that feel refined and inviting. Champagne Gold laminates with a metallic finish from Metalam blend seamlessly with neutral palettes, their delicate glow adding depth without overwhelming the decor. In smaller rooms, they reflect light beautifully, creating an airy, open feel. Paired with deep jewel tones like navy blue or solid-colour laminates of emerald green, they strike a bold yet graceful contrast, bringing a quiet grandeur to the space.

Deep Emerald Green – A Bold and Luxurious Statement

Don’t settle for the ordinary—make a statement with Deep Emerald Green. Paired with gold or brass, bathed in warm lighting, and softened with plush textures, this colour holds the power to change a room into a statement of refined elegance. With our acrylic-finish Laminates, you can take this vision even further. Its high-gloss, mirror-like finish amplifies the colour’s intensity, creating a surface that shimmers with sophistication. Unlike standard laminates of solid colours that fade into the background, this one demands attention—perfect for feature walls, sculpted cabinetry, or bold furniture that turns heads. And while it exudes luxury, it’s crafted for resilience, standing strong against scratches and daily wear.

Every shade tells a story, creating an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and inviting. Just as light and shadow play upon surfaces, the finish of your colour sunmica brings its own personality. With Merino Laminates, your living space becomes timeless, a place where comfort and style exist in perfect harmony.
