1mm Laminate Designs for Modern Interiors: Wood, Stone, Matte and High Gloss

Modern interiors increasingly mix materials instead of relying on a single finish throughout a room. A wardrobe may combine solid colour and woodgrain, a TV unit may use a stone-inspired feature panel, while an office reception can use textured surfaces for visual contrast.

This makes 1mm laminate designs useful for creating coordinated furniture without limiting the project to one visual direction.

The Splicelam Superstar 1 MM collection includes wood, stone, high-gloss, matte, solid-colour, textile and speciality finishes for residential and commercial interiors.

1. Woodgrain laminate designs

Woodgrain is one of the most adaptable laminate categories.

It works across:

• Wardrobes
• Kitchen cabinets
• TV units
• Office furniture
• Study tables
• Bedside units
• Retail fixtures

Splicelam Superstar contains several wood-oriented finish families, including Wood HG, Wood SF, Raw Wood, Silver Oak, Oak, Smoke Oak, Veneer, Sleek and Shine.

Light ash and oak-inspired patterns suit Scandinavian and minimal interiors, while deeper walnut and timber shades can add visual weight.

For buyers deciding between decorative laminate and natural veneer, see the Splice laminate vs veneer guide.

2. Stone-inspired laminate designs

Stone and marble visuals can be used where furniture needs a more prominent feature surface.

The Superstar range contains Rock, Silky Stone, Stone HG, Stone SM and related design families.

Stone patterns can work on:

• TV unit back panels
• Reception counters
• Display furniture
• Feature wall panels
• Cabinet fronts
• Commercial interiors

Large stone patterns should be evaluated as full sheets rather than small samples.

3. Book match laminate designs

Book matching creates a mirrored composition using coordinated panels.

It works best where the full pattern remains visible.

Suitable areas can include:

• Large feature walls
• TV panels
• Reception backgrounds
• Statement cabinets

Planning is essential because incorrect cutting or sheet placement can break the intended pattern.

4. Matte laminate designs

Matte surfaces reduce reflection and can create a restrained appearance.

They are useful across:

• Bedroom wardrobes
• Office furniture
• Study units
• Storage cabinets
• Modern kitchens

Neutral matte colours are particularly useful on large furniture elevations because they provide colour without introducing excessive reflection.

Splice has also published a dedicated matte vs gloss wardrobe guide for buyers comparing the two surfaces.

5. High-gloss laminate designs

High-gloss laminates reflect surrounding light and give furniture a polished surface appearance.

They are useful for:

• Kitchen shutters
• Wardrobes
• TV cabinets
• Display furniture
• Contemporary office furniture

High-gloss shades can be combined with matte or woodgrain rather than covering the entire room in reflective surfaces.

6. Solid-colour laminate designs

Solid laminates allow designers to introduce colour without an additional grain or stone pattern.

The Superstar catalogue contains multiple high-gloss, smooth and soft-finish colour options.

Useful colour groups include:

• Warm neutrals
• Greys
• Greens
• Blues
• Pastels
• Earth tones
• Dark accent colours

The surrounding flooring, wall paint and furniture should determine the final palette.

7. Textile-inspired laminates

Textile surfaces such as Weave and Fabrico introduce a fabric-like visual texture.

They can work well on:

• Bedroom accent furniture
• Wall panels
• Office cabins
• Display units
• Feature shutters

Textile designs are useful when plain colours feel too flat but wood or stone patterns are not suitable.

8. Speciality finishes

Splicelam Superstar also includes decorative categories such as:

• Glam
• Glitter
• Ombre
• Metalam
• Hexa
• Pomel
• Chisel
• Linear
• Raw Cut
• Dharohar

These finishes should generally be used strategically instead of applying several statement textures to the same furniture elevation.

The catalogue specifically recommends metallic patterns for vertical applications.

How to combine different laminate designs

A good interior palette usually needs a dominant surface and a secondary accent.

Try combinations such as:

• Light oak + warm beige
• Walnut + off-white
• Stone + matte grey
• High gloss white + woodgrain
• Pastel green + light timber
• Dark wood + neutral solid colour

The objective is not to use as many designs as possible. It is to create visual continuity across furniture.
