1. Sleek Wardrobes That Reflect Style


Lucida for your wardrobes and sliding shutters brings a high-gloss finish, reflects light, and adds depth. Your bedroom will appear larger and lighter because of Lucida. Even basic hues look fantastic. You can enjoy that modern and minimalist look that is currently in trend.


2. Kitchens That Belong on Pinterest


You stare at those high-gloss kitchen cabinets that are all over your feed. Worry not, as you can get the same look with laminates like Lucida. You get a wide palette to match your saved Instagram reel or your style. Plus, it is resistant to heat (up to 180°C), stains, and scratches. So, the busiest space in the home can also look as elegant as you see in your feed.


3. Small Homes, Bigger Impact


Studio apartments or smaller flats are tricky to design because space is limited. Lucida laminates are reflective enough to make the rooms appear more open and well-lit. Lucida helps bounce light around, creating an airy space. You can use them on furniture, wall panels, or wardrobes.


4. Picture-Perfect Bedrooms


A glossy accent wall behind the bed or a custom floating shelf with shimmer - Lucida is being used creatively in bedrooms to add a touch of glamour. You can choose wood textures, stone finishes, or even bold colours for a standout design.


Since Lucida is available in several textures and patterns, it is easy to match it with your vibe: cosy, edgy, minimal, or eclectic.

5. A Hygienic Touch for Modern Homes


Looking great on the outside is one thing. But Instagram homes are also about clean, healthy spaces.


The ViroKill Technology of Lucida laminates is very effective against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. So, homes with kids, pets, or elderly members are safe. Even frequently touched surfaces like wardrobes, drawers, and countertops with Lucida laminates remain protected.


Places like bathrooms can also use Lucida laminates with ViroKill technology. No matter how often people touch your vanities and cabinets, they will sanitise their surfaces. The high-gloss finish also resists stains and water damage, making it ideal for humid areas like bathrooms, powder rooms, or wash counters.


6. Designing Made Easier with Digital Tools


Want to visualise how your wardrobe or kitchen would look before you finalise anything? CenturyLaminates offers user-friendly design tools like:


Tool Function
2D & 3D Visualisers Preview Lucida finishes on furniture and room surfaces

These tools help you see the design beforehand and make confident choices that match the Instagram look.


7. A Colour for Every Aesthetic


What makes an Instagram home really stand out is a consistent visual style. Designers love that Lucida offers a huge palette of shades and patterns - from solid neutrals to woodgrains, stones, and metallics.

Whether your style is:


  • Minimal and calm (white gloss, beige, greys)

  • Bold and moody (navy, charcoal, wine red)

  • Natural and warm (woodgrains, earthy tones)

  • Bright and quirky (yellow, teal, pink)

Lucida has something to match it. With a wide range of shades and textures, designers get the flexibility to mix, match, and build a home that feels personal and visually stunning.


8. Easy to Maintain and Always Camera-Ready


Let’s be real: no one wants to scrub surfaces every day. Lucida laminates are easy to wipe clean, and they don’t lose their shine over time. That is a big reason why designers choose them for clients who want that "always ready for guests" look without the effort.
