If laminates still make you think of flat, shiny cabinets from your parents’ home, it might be time to look again.
Today’s laminates are less about “just finishing the space” and more about adding mood, texture, and personality, especially for homeowners today who want their homes to feel creative, and a little bit different.
Essential Elegance comes to life through warm timber laminates used across full-height wall panelling and bedside joinery, creating a calm, hotel-like bedroom designed for everyday luxury.
The Greenlam Laminates 2026–2028 Collection introduces 163 new SKUs, bringing surfaces to the forefront with a stronger focus on touch, texture, and the subtle ways materials shape how a room feels.
Pick Your Mood
Choosing finishes can get overwhelming fast. Too many swatches, too many opinions, too much “what if we regret this?”
To simplify decision-making, the collection is organised into four clear design directions—Essential Elegance, Naturalistic, Creative Mix, and Positive Horizon. Each reflects a way of living rather than a fixed look, from calm neutrals and nature-inspired warmth to bold, expressive spaces and light, optimistic interiors.
This is where texture really changes how laminates are used at home. Greenlam introduces four new textures–Barrel, Aran, Linea and Canyon–each designed to bring a different tactile quality into everyday interiors. Barrel’s refined woodgrain effect works beautifully for full-height wall panelling, wardrobes, and built-in cabinetry, adding warmth and visual flow without overwhelming a space. Aran, inspired by soft fabric weaves, is ideal for touchpoints like wardrobes, headboards, and study storage, where a gentler, more tactile finish makes the space feel calmer and more lived-in. Linea introduces subtle linear detailing that suits contemporary homes—think TV feature walls, vertical panels, or sleek storage fronts where rhythm and proportion matter. Meanwhile, Canyon adds depth with its stone-inspired texture, grounding interiors when used on kitchen islands, accent walls, or feature panels, delivering visual weight without the cost or maintenance of natural stone.
With its layered textures and understated palette, Greenlam’s Naturalistic trend speaks to a desire for calm, organic interiors, offering a timeless backdrop that feels both serene and lived-in.
Together, these textures expand how laminates can be layered across a home design, bringing warmth, softness, structure and contrast. New solid colours such as 175 Heather and 240 Eucalyptus (featured in the hero image) introduce gentle blocks of colour that complement contemporary interiors.
Greenlam’s Positive Horizon trend brings a playful energy to the home, combining bold colour accents to create graphic forms for spaces that feel optimistic, eclectic, and full of life.
Greenlam’s Creative Mix–inspired living trend brings together woodgrain and solid colours that you can use in geometric panel layouts, allowing homeowners to design bold, structured feature walls with visual impact.
Bigger Sheets, Cleaner Looks
Another detail worth noting: select designs are now available in 4’ x 10’ sheets, part of the largest 10ft laminate range offering in Asia.
This results in fewer visible joints, cleaner lines, and a more seamless overall finish, particularly suited to calm, minimal interiors where continuity and visual clarity are key. While subtle at first glance, the difference becomes apparent in the way the space feels more thoughtful and precise.
For a generation that values flexibility, creativity, and smart design choices, laminates are having a comeback in more creative applications.
