Formica has introduced 29 new decors in its updated Colour Range including nine now forming part of the Commercial Colour Range consisting of versatile woodgrains, modern patterns and flexible solid colours.

Formica marketing anager Chris Knight explains this latest update is integrated across the Formica range of laminate, decorated board and componentry products, and is the biggest revamp to the Formica Colour Range in recent history.

Tailored for the Australian commercial market, the updated range offers design professionals a contemporary palette that enables the creation of modern, coordinated spaces.

According to Knight, the Commercial Colour Range is based on customer research and factors in the latest interior trends for a harmonised portfolio of decorative surfaces. Describing the updated range as on-trend, versatile and timeless, he adds that the products are ideal for creating modern, stunning and durable commercial offices, retail fitouts, relevant schemes for healthcare, and furniture in schools and classrooms.

Shaped with the specifier’s needs in mind, the Commercial Colour Range takes the hard work out of colour schemes, offering design professionals a comprehensive choice of decorated board products for a wide range of commercial applications.

New solids, Malibu and Baikal extend the relevance and usability of the Commercial Colour Range in warm grey subtle neutrals, offering greater choice to create functional commercial projects.


Woodgrains continue to be a firm favourite in commercial spaces, and are used in horizontal and vertical applications. New mid-toned woodgrains such as Ash Woodline, Cinnamon Ash, and Charred Woodline add an extra dimension, and are perfect for creating durable timber looks for less in hotels, retail fitouts and commercial spaces. 

Finesse Sand and Finesse Stone are subtle patterned greys that can be partnered with new solid, Sarum Grey for a modern look, while Brushed Nickel adds a new moody metallic element to the range.

Formica also introduces innovative new magnetic metallic laminates in Glossy White and Matt Black finishes. Glossy White is the perfect answer for whiteboard surfaces in collaborative office spaces and education facilities, while Matt Black can be used to create magnetic chalk blackboards in hospitality and retail fitouts.


The Formica Commercial Colour Range of decorative boards offers a solution for every application and is available in large formats. Colour matched Formica ABS edging is also available in addition to a seven-year limited warranty.
