Types of bleached oak laminate

Laminate is often mistaken for natural wood due to its similarity in appearance. However, this material is not natural; it contains only wood as a base - fibreboard. Therefore, laminate can take on any pattern, and not just imitate natural wood. Among the variations of bleached oak you can find the following varieties.

• With single-lane structure. This is an imitation of natural wood. The type of laminate that we are used to seeing in apartments, as it is often used for small domestic premises.
• With two-way structure. It is constructed in such a way that along the width of one board there is a pattern of two floorboards. With its help, a kind of chaos of color is created on the floor.
• Three-way. The principle of operation is the same as with two-way. But this type makes it possible to imitate real parquet.
• Tile. With the help of laminate you can imitate not only natural wood, but also stone.So, this type will allow you to create a matte or glossy surface of ceramic tiles, marble and even metal.
• Design options. Here you can see imitation leather, newspaper, electronic board and much more.

For bleached oak, it is better to choose a laminate with a single-strip or two-strip structure. Firstly, they are designed to cover small living spaces, and secondly, these options are best suited for preserving the original appearance of bleached oak.

It is also worth paying attention to the color scheme. The classic version of bleached oak is gray or white. But some companies have options in beige, light brown or even dark shades. They have different names, for example, bleached mocha oak.

How to correctly combine bleached oak in the interior of an apartment

Despite the versatility of the laminate in question, it must be used correctly when arranging the design of a room. To do this, you need to know the rules for combining colors in the interior, building a composition, and also take into account the functionality of the room.

In the living room

This option is best suited for the living room. We are considering the classic version of bleached oak. In the living room, it will visually increase the space, and also make the room brighter and fresher, adding a touch of coldness. It is great for creating an interior in the style of minimalism, hi-tech, Scandinavian.

In the bedroom

For the bedroom, you can choose softer shades of bleached oak. However, we are considering the classic option. In this case, in order not to get too cold and uncomfortable an atmosphere, dilute the interior with warm furniture, cream or beige bedding and curtains.

Important! First of all, you need to select the colors of the baseboards and doors.

Since the doors and baseboards are in direct contact with the laminate, their color must be selected especially carefully. To avoid a boxy feeling, choose skirting boards that are similar in color. It is better if they are in light and cold colors. In this case, you should also choose a light door. It can be milky, beige or white.

In the kitchen and hallway

These two rooms can be combined, as they are of practical importance and have a higher degree of pollution. Often the hallway is located close to the kitchen, and both of these areas can have the same flooring.

So, for the kitchen, the best option would be a laminate that imitates tiles. It has the appropriate structure and is made in the form of squares. The same design can be continued in the hallway.

On a note! In the kitchen and hallway it is better to use laminate with a smooth structure.
