The Science of Aesthetics: Why the Right Laminate Combination Transforms Your Space

At times it is moments when a room feels just right. It’s not magic. It is design. The colours and textures. The materials. They speak a language. And when it’s done well, your space feels good.


One of the simplest, yet most powerful ways to achieve this is through laminates. The roughness of stones. The grains of wood. The sleekness of solids. Sounds fancy? Let’s get into the details and help you create the same aesthetically pleasing space.


Stone Laminates: Nature’s Statement


Stone laminates bring the raw beauty of nature indoors. Think of marble veins, slate textures, or granite-like surfaces. They add depth and a sense of permanence to your interiors.


But here’s the kicker: Stone alone can feel cold. Too much grey or beige can make a space feel distant. That’s where combinations come in. Pairing Stone with a Solid colour softens it. It creates contrast. It makes the texture pop. You notice the veins, the chips, the tiny imperfections. These little details make it feel real.

Stone laminates are great for:


  • Kitchen countertops

  • Bathroom vanities

  • Feature walls

And when paired wisely, they elevate the vibe.


Woodgrain Laminates: Warmth and Rhythm


Woodgrain laminates bring warmth. They add a sense of life and rhythm to a space. The grain patterns mimic real wood. Your eyes naturally follow the flow. It’s calming and surprisingly versatile.


But here is a tip designers swear by: Mix Woodgrain, Prairie Oak 3694 SU with Solids like 3284 SU Smoke Green. A light woodgrain with a bold, solid background creates energy. A dark woodgrain with a soft pastel solid adds sophistication. Suddenly, the space isn’t just functional. It’s expressive.

Woodgrain works wonders for:


  • Wardrobes and cabinets

  • Wall panels

  • Furniture tops

It’s tactile too. Even as a laminate, the right texture gives a sense of authenticity. You touch it and it feels more than just a surface.


Solids: The Unseen Hero


Solids are often underestimated. But they are the glue that holds your design together. A vibrant red, a soft beige, or a deep navy: they set the mood.


Pair 171 Light Brown with Corroded Metal 5889, a design inspired from the rugged elegance of Italian Slate stones and experience the transformative power of combining Solids with Stones. This pairing adds depth & contemporary edge to your space.


Solids can be the background for Stone or Woodgrain. They let patterns shine without competing for attention. Think of Solids as punctuation in a sentence. They give your eyes a place to rest.


And don’t forget, Solids can also pop when paired cleverly. A bold Solid next to a subtle Stone or Woodgrain can make a space playful, edgy, or dramatic, whatever your goal is.

Why Combinations Matter


Here’s the science bit. Our brains are wired to notice patterns, contrast, and harmony. A single texture or colour can feel flat. But when you combine Stone, Woodgrain, and Solid thoughtfully, your brain perks up.


It’s like music. You don’t just hear one note. You hear chords, rhythm, layers. That’s exactly what Symphony by CenturyPly aims to do. The curated combinations are like a playlist for your eyes. Every Stone paired with the right Solid. Every Woodgrain matched with just the right tone. It’s balanced, yet dynamic.


The Symphony range features 65 SKUs: 52 in Stones and 13 in Woodgrains, with 35 Solid SKUs used in combinations. This extensive palette allows endless pairing possibilities.


Even small details matter. Bigger chips in the catalogue let you see texture clearly. You can sense depth, notice subtleties, and make confident choices.

Emotional Impact


Here’s something fun: colour and texture affect mood. Stone can make you feel grounded. Woodgrain can make you feel cosy. Solids can energise or soothe.


Combine them right, and you’re designing an experience. Your living room isn’t just where you sit. It’s where you feel, think, and recharge.


Practical Tips for Combinations


  1. 1. Balance is key. Don’t overwhelm. If your Stone is busy, keep the Solid simple. Drawing inspiration from the Classic Italian Terrazzo tiles designs, 5882 Meramma Dawn paired with 3246 Flint infuses your Bathroom with a European flair – elegant, balanced & timeless.

  2. 2. Contrast wisely. Light and dark together always work, but the tone matters.

  3. 3. Texture matters. Rough Stone next to smooth Solid creates interest. Smooth Woodgrain with matte Solid feels refined.

  4. 4. Follow the flow. Woodgrain patterns can guide movement in a room. Pair with Solids that complement, not clash.

  5. 5. Think long term. Trends matter, but timeless combinations work forever.

Each laminate in the Symphony collection is available in 1mm thickness. So, you get strength, durability, and a premium finish suited for both residential and commercial interiors. All you have to do is imagine, because reliability and quality are well taken care of.
