Most catalogues ask you to pick a finish. The CenturyLaminates LookBook 2026–27 asks a different question entirely: what kind of space do you actually want to live in? That shift matters. Because choosing a laminate isn't really about the laminate. It's about the kitchen that feels warm enough to linger in, the bedroom that finally looks the way you imagined it, the workspace that doesn't feel like a waiting room. The LookBook is built around that idea. It's a design tool for homeowners making decisions on their own, for architects specifying at scale, and for designers looking for what's current and what's next. The theme this year is The Trendz Edit 2026–27, and it positions CenturyLaminates not just as a surface brand, but as an interpreter of where global design is actually headed.
705 total designs. 235 of them are brand new. 5 new textures. 2 new surface innovations. A new 10×4 ft laminate format. And a standalone Combinations Booklet that comes with the catalogue. That's not a refresh. That's a redesign of the offering from the ground up.
Browsing through the catalogue, here’s everything you’ll get to see:
Every joint in a laminate surface is a visual interruption. Standard sizes mean more of them, more breaks in the pattern, more installation time, and more offcuts going to waste. The new 10×4 ft format fixes this for large surfaces. These are built for door applications, kitchen shutters, wardrobes, hotel lobbies, commercial wall panelling, and conference rooms, anywhere a continuous, unbroken surface makes a real difference to how the space reads. Modern interiors with high ceilings and open formats have needed this. Now it exists.
All Protek is the first laminate in the industry to use an electron beam-cured surface. Here's what that actually means for daily use: minor surface scratches can be removed with heat the surface heals itself. The FinProtek layer resists fingerprints, which matters enormously on kitchen shutters and furniture that gets touched constantly. It holds up against household chemicals and heavy scratching. And it carries a dead matte finish that keeps it looking clean without effort. 9 designs, available in 1.25mm thickness. It's built for spaces that see real use.
Louver-inspired surfaces work because they bring rhythm to a flat panel. The shadow effects created by the linear grooves add quiet architectural drama, something that solid or patterned surfaces can't replicate in the same way. Two new textures this year. Louver Blinds go deep, with strong louver lines across solid colours, woodgrains, and stones. 10 designs at 1.50mm. Louver Curtains take a more elevated approach with refined louver lines across the same range of finishes. 8 designs at 1.50mm. Both work particularly well on TV cabinets, feature furniture, and accent surfaces where the goal is architectural interest without visual noise.
There's a shift happening in interiors toward surfaces that don't demand attention. Zero Matt sits right in that space. It's a light-absorbing finish, muted, anti-glare, and understated. Not flat, not dull. Just calm. 8 designs, suited to offices, bedrooms, and any space where the goal is a composed, contemporary feel without any surface competing for focus.
Stone as a design choice has always carried a premium in cost, in installation complexity, and in maintenance. Stone-look laminates have closed that gap significantly, and the two new finishes this year push it further. Archi Concrete draws from premium Italian stone, sparkling, deep, and rich in character. Exposed Concrete takes its reference from European architectural design, with a weathered, textured quality that adds real depth to interiors. 8 designs each. Both deliver the visual weight of natural stone in surfaces that are far more practical to live with.
Two finishes that close the gap between laminate and real wood, not just visually, but tactilely. The Synchro Series aligns surface texture precisely with the wood grain pattern underneath. The grain you see and the texture you feel are perfectly matched. Available in Crown, Knots, Straight Line, and Granular Matt. Willow Wood is new this year, an oak-inspired finish with deeply etched fine veins that add an organic, calming quality to any surface. Well-suited to wardrobes, TV units, kitchen shutters, and furniture where warmth and naturalness are the brief.
This segment is for spaces where the surface itself is the design. Not a backdrop, the focal point. The Wallpaper Collection brings floral, metallic, abstract, and geometric motifs with a European sensibility. The Noir Collection is built around deep, rich blacks and classic tones for spaces that want presence. Patterns covers Chevron, Herringbone, 3D louvers, and wooden plank designs each strong enough to anchor a room. Textile draws from Milan's fabric heritage with woven surface designs that add tactility and warmth. Cane brings heritage craftwork into contemporary furniture with designs rooted in traditional cane weaving. These aren't accent choices. They're design decisions.
The solid colour section has been rethought this year. Instead of a conventional colour wheel, it works like a spatial map, colour families organised in vertical columns so you navigate by how colours relate to each other perceptually, not by colour theory. Seven territories run from soft neutrals through earthy tones to vibrant corals and nature greens. New launches cluster in green, beige, and warm pink. The logic is simple: find the territory that matches the mood of your space, then explore every shade within it. Solids pair exceptionally well with woodgrains and stones, and the catalogue shows these combinations throughout.
The structure of the LookBook is deliberate. Section breakers represent specific spaces, kitchen, bedroom, living room, and corporate and show the trends that belong to each one. So if you're designing a bedroom, you go to that section and see what's current, what combinations work, and what finishes feel right for that context. Inside pages use a gradient grid that organises designs by tonality. You browse by the mood of the space, not by hunting through categories. Application images throughout show real interiors, actual surface pairings in context, not just swatches on a white background. The cover itself is clean and muted, designed to let the surfaces do the talking from page one.
Two things the LookBook does that a standard catalogue doesn't. Combination Trendz gives you pre-curated pairings: woodgrains with solids, stones with solids, stones with woodgrains, and layered finish combinations. The standalone Combinations Booklet goes deeper on this. For anyone choosing without a designer, this is the most useful part of the whole catalogue. It removes the guesswork from pairing decisions that can otherwise feel overwhelming. Space-Based Trendz maps specific designs and finishes to specific rooms: Living Room, Kitchen, Bedroom, Bathroom, Door, Corporate, and Exclusive. Each space has its own section breaker in the catalogue showing the trends that work there and why. Solutions for real spaces, not abstract recommendations.
No, it actively guides decisions through pre-curated combinations, space-specific trend sections, and application imagery showing how finishes work together in real interiors.
It's the only laminate in the industry with an electron beam-cured surface, meaning it can thermally heal minor scratches and resists fingerprints, chemicals, and heavy abrasion in ways standard laminates don't.
Anywhere a continuous, unjointed surface improves the aesthetic, large door applications, kitchen shutters, wardrobes, hotel lobbies, and commercial spaces with high ceilings.
Anyone choosing without an architect or interior designer takes the guesswork out of pairing finishes by presenting combinations that are already curated and tested.
A damp cloth handles most cleaning; for tougher stains, a soft brush with mild detergent works well. Avoid acidic cleaners, abrasive pads, and placing heated items directly on the surface.
