FixitUp Find: Formica Corporation’s Steel, Fabric, & Wood Looks

We love using unexpected materials and textures in our designs. We love being on-trend—and trend-setting—and depend on materials that keep pace. For on-trend surfaces, that work without question, and that conserve our budget for bringing big time boo-yah to boring boxes, Formica’s 33 new laminates go the extra style-mile.

Along with wood-themed finishes that enable us to create anything from an outdoor sense to urban loft feel like White Ash and Walnut are Formica’s Elemental patterns. Designed to be interpreted as a variety of materials like concrete and Corten (kind of a rusted metal) the Elementals evoke a lived-in grittiness that excites texture and design-depth along with the every day dependability real people really need.

Tack on Optical Solids like Twill—that look like a solid color from a distance but are actually made up of a feature-rich pattern enjoyable up close—and the unexpected design we love and Formica’s 33 new looks provide the pop and texture that makes us smile. And—whether a feature wall, bathroom counter or kitchen surface—delivers every day common sense to its soul-lightening sensibility.
