Laminate is basically a floor that looks like wood or stone, but you don’t end up spending like you would on real wood. That’s why many people in normal Indian homes pick it—it looks smart but still comes in budget. It can take daily rough use also. Kids running, dragging chairs, sometimes pets scratching… it doesn’t show marks that easily. That’s why it’s practical.
Cleaning is not a headache. Most days a jhadu is enough, and if something spills, just wipe with a damp cloth. No need to keep special cleaners. And the options—you get so many. Light colours, dark shades, glossy, matte, rustic. Easy to match with any kind of home.
- Light colours like Maple or Ash make a small 2BHK flat feel open.
- Dark shades like Walnut or Mahogany give that cosy, rich look (good for bedrooms).
- Rustic textures look very natural, also dust doesn’t show so much.
- Glossy finishes are neat, modern—works well in city apartments.
Another thing: if one plank breaks or swells, you don’t have to redo the whole flooring. Just change that piece. Simple.
