Every room has a story to tell. And in the heart of that story is a tone, a mood, created not just by lighting or furniture, but by the surfaces that define the space. Laminate hues, often overlooked, are a vital component in creating that mood. The right shade can illuminate a kitchen, warm a bedroom and make it welcoming, or introduce a dash of luxury into a living room. It's these infinitesimal things that softly determine the ambience of a room, turning a house into a space.

At Manilam, we don't think laminate is merely a finishing material, it's a design foundation. Being India's premium laminate brand, we understand that selecting the correct colour laminate is not about trend-following, but more about achieving harmony between functionality and emotion.

 

 

 

Whether you're decorating a single room or designing an entire house, this guide will assist you in choosing the best-quality laminate that not only matches your walls but also your lifestyle.

Living Room: Warm Neutrals to Welcome

Your living room is where first impressions are created. It's also where comfort and expression come together.
 

What Works Best:

 

• Warm wood tones such as walnut, oak, and chestnut for a timeless, classic look

• Soft neutrals such as ash grey, beige, or muted taupes to maintain a sense of light and welcome

• Textured finishes or fluted laminates add depth without overwhelming the area.
   

 

Tips: Our best-quality laminates from the Spectrum of Emotion 1mm and Fluted Surface collections provide a sophisticated palette that delivers modern appeal with enduring longevity.
 

Bedroom: Opt for Calm, Dull Tones
 

Your bedroom should be like your private sanctuary. The colours you use can affect your mood, rest, and relaxation.

 

Ideal Colours:
 

• Pastel colours such as powder blue, sage green, or blush pink

FAQs

 

Q. What colour laminate goes with everything?

 

Subtle colour laminate is an excellent choice if you want to choose a colour that is very adaptable and subject to change. You can change up your decor as often as you like because subtle is so neutral that it will go with practically anything.

 

Q. What colour of laminate flooring is best?

 

The colour that works best for laminate flooring depends on your room's characteristics and personal preferences. Oak or ash for a lighter, brighter look that will make a room look larger and more up-to-date is great. Walnut for a richer, darker, and more luxurious look is excellent. Neutral shades give classic elegance and flexibility. Choose a colour that complements your décor and atmosphere.

 

Q. What colour of laminate is timeless?

 

The classic appearance of oak laminate has always been a timeless piece, and because of its versatility, it can be used to match a wide range of styles.
