The world is moving towards a more connected, and minimal design philosophy, wherein laminates and plywood are becoming the preferred surface options for the furniture and interior design industry. The Indian consumer prefers textures, pastel shades, and neutral colors that elevate the aesthetics of a space.

Laminate sheets offer endless design options - from simple to the more complex – and designs that can be altered to resemble various textures like stone, wood, solid surfaces, etc, which can be used to enhance walls, doors, facades, floors, ceilings, and furniture pieces. The widespread adaptation of premium surface solutions like soft touch, anti-fingerprint, matte finishes, etc, especially in kitchens, in the last 5-7 years underlines their popularity.
