What are Luxury Laminates?

Bader Obeid • April 15, 2014

Deciding to remodel a home can be challenging. The process itself can be stressful. There are many choices to make about what color to paint the walls, what furniture to buy, and what appliances will look best in the kitchen. One of the biggest decisions is what kind of flooring to use. Tile and hardwood flooring in Carrollton have always been popular options, but luxury laminates have recently become an appealing alternative.



Luxury laminates are not like the old vinyl floors that were popular in the past. While some are made of vinyl, they now offer the more realistic look of wood and stone. This look is achieved by using high resolution images underneath a “wear” layer, which makes the product extremely durable. This gives the look of luxury, hence the name, without the high price tag. It allows homeowners to floor larger rooms or even their whole house for less than the cost of installing real wood or stone.


Carrollton luxury laminates come in a variety of colors, designs and sizes. Wood laminates look like real wood because they use real wood. They are typically made with wood and a realistic photo veneer layer. They are made water resistant so that they can be used in the kitchen or bathroom where you normally couldn’t put wood flooring. Stone laminates use the same technology and make it more affordable to have a stone entryway or bathroom.


Switching to luxury laminates is easy and instillation can be done by either a professional or the homeowner. Many companies offer laminates that click and lock together. They can be anchored to the floor or allowed to be a floating floor that sits over the existing floor. This makes it possible to easily replace pieces if they ever become damaged or if you want to change the room’s entire look.

As a design consultant, I spend a lot of time guiding clients through the finishing touches that make their remodels feel both beautiful and lasting. More often than not, I recommend a look that’s soft, timeless, and effortlessly elegant. That look now has a name: the cashmere kitchen — and it’s still going strong. So, what is a cashmere kitchen ? Think of it like your favorite cashmere sweater: soft, classic, comfortable, and a little bit luxurious — without being flashy. Some designers even call it a soft neutral kitchen or a timeless kitchen. The idea is the same: subtle luxury that feels as good as it looks. Key Elements of a Cashmere Kitchen Cabinets : Warm neutrals such as soft greige (J&K Pebble) paired with a warm wood accent like J&K Butterscotch. Countertops : White quartz with gentle gold and brown veining for a polished yet understated look. Hardware : Champagne bronze for subtle warmth; matte black for contrast on darker cabinets. Floors : Light, natural hardwood like Regal Alton to keep the space airy. Backsplash : Glossy, handmade-look tile (SOHO Surfaces) that adds texture and visual interest. Overall feel : Everything flows together. No harsh contrasts — just understated details that shine. This is what makes the cashmere kitchen such a perfect example of a comfort luxe kitchen : elegant, but inviting. Why Homeowners Love a Cashmere Kitchen A cashmere kitchen design checks a lot of boxes for today’s homeowners: Timeless appeal – Won’t feel dated in a few years. Easy to personalize – Add your own touch with lighting, décor, or barstools. Resale - friendly – Neutral palettes appeal to a wide audience. Relaxing atmosphere – The mood is calm, cozy, and inviting. It’s the perfect balance of modern and classic — Shaker cabinet doors provide tradition, quartz countertops keep it current, and metallic hardware adds polish. Many homeowners see it as a classic warm neutral kitchen because it feels both stylish and practical. Cashmere Kitchen vs. Transitional Kitchen
