Creating Reflective Spaces: Designing with High Gloss Laminates

Design is not merely about space; it’s about the way that space appears, be it bright, reflecting, excellent finishes, they all contribute to how the space appears. Perhaps one of the best and most sophisticated means of making the interiors bright and providing a touch of elegance is by the use of high gloss laminates. With their mirror-finish sheen and upscale appearance, such laminates are fast becoming the centerpiece of contemporary interior design. At Royale Touche we believe that each surface should reflect light as well as persona. With our finest glossy laminate collections, you can create interiors that look expensive, sophisticated, and just elegant.

What Are High Gloss Laminates?

Glossy laminates are among the decorative laminates that come with extra-smooth, glossy finish. They are produced using advanced technologies that offer a seamless reflective surface on the top. The coating gives the laminate a glass-like appearance, which adds brightness and creates the illusion of interior space.

Compared to matte finishes that capture light, reflective glossy laminates reflect light back, hence they are best suited for rooms where you’d prefer to minimize natural or artificial lighting.

Bouncing Light Around the Room

The single most distinctive characteristic of glossy laminate finishes is their ability to bounce light across the room. From the sun entering through windows to the ambient LED lighting, these laminates maximize the brightness and openness of an environment.

In flats, offices, or small bungalows where space is lacking, high gloss laminates in wardrobes, cabinets, or walls can provide an illusion of more space. Their reflective surface reduces shadowing and reflects more light, especially in small living rooms, kitchens, or corridors.

Aesthetic Sophistication

From sleek minimalist to extravagant contemporary, high glossy laminates give an immortal glamour that suits most design styles. The reflective finish gives a feeling of luxury and sophistication without being overpowering.

Royale Touche offers a wide range of colors, textures, and patterns in  high gloss laminate finishes be it neutrals, bright colors, woodgrains, and marble patterns.

Best Applications in Interior Design

High gloss laminate sheets are versatile and can be used over a variety of interior surfaces. The best applications are:

Kitchen Cabinets: They add a modern look, reflect ceiling light in excellent style, and are easy to clean.

Wardrobes & Closets: Perfect for bedroom furniture, giving a trendy and modern look.

TV Units & Shelves: Highlight areas of focus in the lounge with a high gloss laminate finish that stands out.

Office Furniture: Desks, dividers, and wall panelling in gloss finishes look professional and fashionable.

Ceiling & Wall Panels: Especially in business or high-end domestic surroundings, they create an elegant ambiance.

In an effort to avoid dominating a space, glossy laminates must be used as accent surfaces, and matte or textured materials in addition to create visual balance.

Maintenance and Durability

Though they can be chosen primarily for appearance and design, high gloss laminates are functional and performance-based as well. They are engineered to resist stains and moisture, along with light abrasions and scratches.

Cleaning is simple with use of a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and smudges. While glossy laminate is extremely tough, it has to be protected from sharp objects or abrasive cleaners.

Choosing the Right Colours and Combinations

The key to successful application of high gloss laminates is judicious colour selection. Keep the following design tips in mind:

  • Whites and neutrals in gloss laminate sheets work well on small areas. They bounce natural light and enable spatial flow.
  • Rich colors like wine red, deep blue, or emerald green bring drama and luxury when used as a feature panel or for modular furniture.
  • Black high gloss laminates suit well in creating high-style, high-contrast interiors.
  • Woodgrain gloss laminates are a very smart synthesis of natural splendor and cool glow.

To balance the starkness of shiny surfaces, you could pair them with open shelving, cushions of pleasing textures, or with warm lighting.
