The choice of materials for finishing the apartment, perhaps one of the most difficult stages during the renovation. It is necessary to choose the elements of decor so that they match the desires, capabilities and interior.

In this article we will try to deal with the laminate, which should blend harmoniously into the interior, emphasizing all the advantages of each room of the apartment. How different laminate looks in different rooms can be seen in the photo.

Basic principles of choice

There are basic principles for the choice of flooring, which is selected on the basis of these parameters:

• quality indicators of the material;
• decorative properties.

When choosing, you should pay attention to the following quality indicators:

• material class, which is an indicator of wear resistance;
• the method of connecting the individual elements of the coating;
• manufacturer;
• moisture resistance.

It is necessary to remember that to finish the apartment you need to acquire laminate 32 or 33 class, which will last more than 8 years, keeping the original appearance. Models below 32 classes have a shorter service life.

The locking mechanism of connection will be an ideal option for residential premises: nursery, bedroom, hall. But in the kitchen it is desirable to buy a coating with adhesive joints.

Buying flooring from reputable manufacturers, you can be confident in the quality of the product and compliance with all the specified parameters.

When buying laminated boards for a bathroom or bathroom, be sure to clarify the degree of moisture resistance of the material.

How to choose a laminate

Different colors of the laminate in the rooms, properly chosen, will emphasize the purpose of each room and enliven the interior of the apartment as a whole.

A few recommendations on the topic: how to choose the right color flooring.

1. In a sunny room, it is better not to use a wenge, walnut, rosewood color coating. On a dark floor with good side lighting is very noticeable dust and small debris. Permanent floor cleaning or an untidy room look - this choice awaits those who do not follow this advice.
2. Many people think that a dark hallway can be made lighter and more visually more if you finish it with wallpaper and laminate of one tone. The walls and the floor merging with each other are ugly. So, if the flooring is light (oak, birch, beech), then the wallpaper should be a few tones darker.
3. Using a laminate of a different color in a small apartment will visually make it small.
4. It is necessary to consider the color of interior doors. They should be slightly darker than the floor, but combined with it in texture and color. For example, laminate walnut suggests walnut doors, but in a darker tone.
5. A room with light walls and furniture in the presence of light flooring may seem sterile and uncomfortable.
6. The combination of material is an important aspect for flooring. Laminate looks great, next to carpet or ceramic tile. But next to the parquet floor it is better not to lay it.
7. Light and dark floors will require frequent cleaning.
8. It must be remembered that the laminated coating serves for a long time, and if suddenly there is a desire to change the style of the room, then it is unlikely that this can be done without replacing the floor.
9. Properly chosen plinth gives the space completeness and combines the individual elements of the interior with each other. Options for the selection of color plinth:

• laminate and baseboard have the same tone;
• the door and plinth are made in the same color, contrasting floor;
• furniture and plinth in one color, contrasting floor and doors.

The most winning option first.

In general, the basic principle of the choice of laminate is the same as everywhere else - everything is in moderation! Based on what mood it is desirable to give each room, and taking into account the recommendations of experts, feel free to choose the flooring. Having trouble with a wide range of material? Choose a laminate under the door or furniture, already knowing that the floor should be a little lighter.
