Out of the woods and into the kitchen

Housing Thu, Oct 19, 2017 11:40 AM

Our kitchens have evolved to become much more than areas where we simply cook and eat. As the undisputed hub of the home, it is a place where families and friends get together to chat over tea or coffee, plan holidays and nights out, among other activities.

The homeliness of the kitchen can be enriched further with the introduction of wood surfacing. Wood has the advantage of looking good with almost any kitchen style and colour - be it traditional or modern, light or dark.

The kitchen trends as seen in Scandinavia are an excellent example of wood’s continued prominence and appeal.

However, natural timber and wood surfaces in the kitchen require quite a lot of maintenance and care in order to remain in pristine condition. The Formica Prima woods range does not require any treatments or oiling.

Formica's laminate worktops are high quality prints that exquisitely capture the detail of each wood species, ranging from traditional Oak and Walnut to exotic and colourful Ebony and Zebrano.

Formica Prima Natural Block Walnut is full of colour and character, with a detailed wood grain pattern. It has a butcher block layout that provides a modern twist on a classic wood. Rural Oak on the other hand, is a dark oak design featuring a softly weathered classic feel, coloured with silver, grey and brown - a perfect fit for contemporary kitchen interiors. Why not have the natural beauty of wood in your kitchen, but ensuring it remains that way with our water and stain resistant laminate worktops – now that’s hassle free surfacing.

Natural textures and hues are growing in prominence in contemporary kitchen design. Luxurious greys, cappuccino, olive, dove and stone grey along with white and cream can be mixed and matched with timber, oak and rustic wood designs to modernise any kitchen space.

Texture adds an extra dimension to any surface. Partnering the right design and texture together elevates the aesthetics of the surface and also the tactile experience for those who touch it.

The Prima range offers textures from super high gloss to weathered or brushed stone. Formica Group is the only laminate manufacturer who designs and manufactures their own textures.
