Waterproof laminates can be such a boon when it comes to designing or redesigning your bathrooms! The best part is, good quality laminates can be used for your bathroom flooring as well as the cabinetry. Apart from the fact that they are easy to clean and quite durable, waterproof laminates offer endless options when it comes to enhancing colors, textures and designs to your bathroom floor and cabinets.

Here are a few ideas to get your imagination soaring!

If you do want a tiled look but want to avoid spending your time and resources on getting and fitting the tiles, then you can always turn to tile-styled laminates! They come in multiple colors and designs as actual tiles and take only a fraction of your time and effort. You can opt for a chipped stone look, marble styles, solid colors and the classy ceramic tile…options are aplenty! And if you are feeling experimental, you can choose a glossy laminate to contrast with the flooring!

The Timeless Wooden Look

Wooden laminates give a sense of warmth and comfort; plus, they never go out of style! You can opt for a classic wooden look for both the flooring and the cabinets of your bathroom to give that cozy, fancy-hotel-room feeling. A lighter shade of wood, something along the lines of pinewood, maple wood or ash wood, reflect natural light thus making your bathroom look and feel more spacious. Deeper tones, however, are just as good, giving out more pronounced textures, something that mahogany and walnut laminates exude.

Modern Stone Feel

If you want your bathroom to look expensive without having to burn a hole in your pocket, you can choose earth stone-inspired laminates for both the cabinets and the floors. The robust look, especially with darker colors, offers a solid contrast with white sinks and toilets, giving your bathroom an exquisite feel. If you choose a lighter stone look, you can contrast with dark-colored fittings to highlight the same features.

The Rustic Look

If you want your bathroom to have a rustic and antique look but also want to ensure it’s still manageable and easy-to-clean, then a melange of laminates are your best option! You can go for weathered wood or a metal look for the cabinets and choose off-white for the flooring, to highlight the contrast. Alternatively, you can also go for wooden plank-style flooring to complete that inspiring rustic-cabin feel!

The Retro Look

The retro look, which is swiftly making a coming back now, is always a fun style to experiment! You can choose a basic white laminate for your cabinets and cover the floors in quirky, patterned laminates. When it comes to the flooring, colors are your best friends! Choose from a rainbow of colors and designs, and bring out a look that reflects your personal style!

Now that you have a good set of ideas to experiment, you can simply pick out a design from the list above or get creative and come up with your own keeping these points in mind! With the right choice of laminates, you can have a bathroom which truly reflects your style aesthetics.
