WOOD WORKS Bring the warmth of wood to your home, minus the maintenance woes with the Woodgrains collection from Arova. The wood-like laminates capture the natural textures of oak, walnut, mahogany, and other timber in various shades and effects. Featured here are laminates in Nangang Oak applied on the wall and Compressed Wood for the shelving units.

MADE TO LAST For heavy-duty spaces such as the kitchen, look to the Supreme line for durable surfaces. As part of the Premium collection, these easy-care laminates come with a protective that makes the surface scratch-resistant and anti-fingerprint; it also has a self-healing function that prevents stains. Its matte finish pairs beautifully with a contemporary kitchen, as seen here; the Supreme Grey laminate has been used on the countertops and cabinetry. Available in six versatile shades including grey, blue, white and black.

PATTERNS OF LIFE The Patterns range features laminates with natural-looking details and other unique effects that echo the rugged appearance of concrete, marble, leather, as well as surfaces that carry a hint of glitter. Take for instance, the Tactus Twilight laminate pictured above; this dark laminate features a weathered finish that conveys the appearance of time-worn stone.
