Without a doubt, laminate flooring is one of the most popular flooring options on the market. It’s sturdy, durable, and can be bought in a wide range of colours to suit any home.

One of the best features is that it can realistically replicate the look of real wood, but offer further variety when it comes to laminate floor colours. A great example is that laminate can look like real wood but in “unnatural” shades of grey, black or white whereas solid wood flooring is mostly limited to earth tones.

With the wide array of laminate floor shades available, it’s surprisingly easy to colour coordinate your walls and furniture with your floor. Whether you’re after light laminate flooring or want to introduce a moody vibe with dark laminate flooring, read on to find out our recommendations for the best laminate flooring colours.

Which colours can you get laminate flooring in?

Laminate flooring is a super versatile flooring option and is favoured by young homeowners and experienced landlords alike. Easy to install and care for, you can find a whole host of different hues to make your house a home. Here are some of the most common laminate flooring colours we have on offer.

White laminate flooring

If you want to go for a colour that is very versatile and open for change, white laminate is a great option. As white is so neutral, it will go with just about anything and you can change your decor any number of times to great effect.

Adding more light or beige furniture can help to create a timeless or minimalistic look - perfect for those looking to minimise clutter. Adding pops of bright colours, such as vivid yellow or green, creates a contemporary vibe while adding darker colours such as jewel tones, or even black, could create a sophisticated contrast. The possibilities are endless.

Grey laminate flooring

Grey is a very on-trend colour right now. It comes in many different shades and the cool, neutral colour goes really well with other cool tones. Think blue hues and cool purple tones. Alternatively you can add in pops of warmer greens or rust colours for a sophisticated, artsy contrast.

Light laminate flooring

If you’re into Scandinavian or Japanese interior design, light laminate flooring is the way to go. Except when opting for grey or white, light flooring gives your space a bright and airy feel while still keeping a little bit of warmth in the neutral wood tones. Pair with other neutral tones, whites, and small touches of black for a soothing and relaxing simplistic space.

Medium laminate flooring

For medium laminate flooring colours, such as standard oak, there are no strict rules and you can be quite free with your styling. Just like white, this shade will match with most colours because it isn’t overly light or dark. As most medium laminate floors have warm and yellow undertones, why not try similarly warm colours such as yellow, orange or red? Or for a little splash of contrast try some pops of violet.

Dark laminate flooring

Dark laminate flooring encompasses all kinds of different hues that are all on the deeper end of the colour spectrum. Dark grey, black, and walnut woods are all good examples of dark laminate flooring we have available. There’s little that will complete such a striking choice and you’ll find that most colours will suit the moody vibe of your floors. Jewel tones and rich pops of colour on neutral or light-colours furniture offer a break for the eye.

Which colour laminate flooring is best?

The only thing left for you to do is to choose the best laminate flooring colours for you! When choosing your perfect floors keep in mind your ultimate goal and what effect you’re trying to achieve.
