Beneath The Surface Forecast 2020

Colours and textures that bring us closer to nature

As the pace of modern life increases, our yearning to connect with nature grows. We look for colours, textures and shapes that celebrate the energising spirit of the natural world. Beneath The Surface finds them in our planet’s vast oceans, and the places where land meets sea.

Laminex is constantly surveying interior design from around the world, to ensure that we deliver the contemporary surface materials you need. This knowledge is brought together in the Laminex Forecast, to give the Australian design industry insight into emerging movements in colour and texture for 2020.

Calm

The dreamy colours here give us a place to pause and recharge. They have a faded quality. They’re ethereal, muted, creamy, chalky. Warm and cool tones mix in surprising ways. All find a natural harmony.

In The Shallows

Rich, graduated greens and deep, textural browns place us directly in nature, keeping us grounded. They’re organic and raw. Confronting to some, relaxing to others. An expression of respect for the environment.
