1. You must keep your kitchen decoration in mind previous to selecting the color and texture of your laminate countertop. From the wide variety of laminates it is not hard to choose the right type that blends with your kitchen decoration.

2. The key to color dynamics is the use of different colors. To avoid repetitiveness you must complement dark colored cabinets with a warm and light colored laminate. Likewise, lighter colored cabinets can be tinted with dark colored laminate.

3. Checking out some interior designing magazines can give you a good idea of what color and style to choose. An interior designer can give you specialist advice on how to create the right choice.

4. Laminate is not as hard as some other materials used for countertops such as granite countertops. Therefore you may desire to merge laminate with granite to make your countertop more reasonable. The areas that get the harshest treatment such as the cooking area and the washing area can be made of granite and the rest can be made of laminate. Care should be taken to combine the uniform color shade of laminate with the inconsistent pattern of granite.
