Every home has a story. The colours, textures and finishes you choose speak about your personality. But making everything match perfectly isn’t always the goal. Sometimes, the best interiors come from bold contrasts and clever combinations. That’s where Lucida Laminates help. They offer variety without losing consistency.
These glossy laminates are designed to work together, even if they look very different. So you can play with tones, textures and shine while keeping your space balanced. Here’s how to do it right.
Start with a Base That Keeps It Calm
When mixing finishes, start with a simple base. Choose a solid colour that acts like your background. Lucida’s Solids range works well for this. Think about shades like white, beige or charcoal. These tones give your eyes a place to rest. Once the base is in place, you can start adding interest.
Solid laminate on wardrobes or cabinets allows more textured or patterned finishes elsewhere. It sets the mood and gives you flexibility in styling.
Add Texture for Warmth
Once your base is ready, add something natural. The Woodgrain range from Lucida is perfect here. These glossy laminates carry the warmth of timber but with the durability of a polished surface. Use them for headboards, shelves or TV unit back panels.
The gloss helps the wood pattern reflect light. It doesn’t feel heavy or old. Instead, you get a warm touch that still looks clean and modern. Mixing solids with wood finishes creates contrast that feels soft and inviting.
Use Stone to Add Depth
Want to make a wall stand out without adding clutter? The Stone finish from Lucida gives a natural, grounded feel. These surfaces look like real stone but are lighter and easier to maintain. You can use them behind your bed, near your entrance or even in the kitchen.
Stone works well with both solids and woodgrain finishes. It brings depth without overwhelming the design. When paired with glossy laminates, the rough texture of stone balances the shine and creates visual interest.
Add a Hint of Sparkle
If your space feels too safe or flat, bring in something bold. Lucida’s Glitter laminates are made for that extra shine. These are best used in small areas. Think drawer fronts, niche backdrops or wardrobe handles.
The sparkle catches light and draws attention without taking over. When used with neutral solids or warm woodgrain, it adds an unexpected touch. It’s modern, stylish and unique.
Stick to One Finish Type for Consistency
Mixing styles does not mean mixing quality. LucidaLaminates come in the same high-gloss finish across all ranges. So even if you use wood, stone, glitter and solid in one room, the overall polish stays uniform. That’s what keeps everything looking like it belongs.
The glossy laminates reflect light evenly. So your room looks bright and clean, even if the colours and patterns are different.
Match the Mood with the Room
Different rooms need different moods. A bedroom needs warmth. A kitchen needs brightness. A study needs focus. You can mix finishes depending on how the room is used.
- Use Woodgrain and Solids in bedrooms for a cosy but clean look
- Try Stone and Solids in kitchens for a bold, low-maintenance setup
- Combine Glitter and Woodgrain in kids’ rooms or creative spaces
- Go for Solids and Glitter in wardrobes or dressing areas for a polished effect
Lucida makes it easy to switch moods without switching material types. That’s what makes it so useful.
Be Bold but Keep It Simple
Too much of anything can feel busy. The trick is to balance bold with plain. Let one surface stand out while others stay quiet. Use patterns in one area. Keep the rest smooth. Lucida Laminates give you the freedom to be creative without the risk.
The finishes are tested for durability, hygiene and colour fastness. So once you find your style, it stays that way for years. Looking to create a home that feels personal and polished? Lucida Laminates help you mix, match and make your interiors truly your own.
