DESIGN

Overwhelmed. Stressed. Hectic. For many individuals, the last several years have been filled with a sense of uncertainty.

Fueled in part by a turbulent economy, today’s more budget-savvy and eco-conscious consumers have responded by

making their homes the calm eye in the storm of life. For many, this translates to finding a spirit of mindfulness

within themselves and expressing it in their surroundings. Think balance, comfort and authenticity. Their home

space features thoughtful selections from design choices to décor and accessories that reflect long-term

value, functional aesthetics, touches of luxury, and elements of optimism as a counterpoint to the

over-stimulated external environment. Taking a cue from this Zeitgeist, Wilsonart debuts

27 new designs in the 2015 Wilsonart® Residential Laminate Collection.

LUXURYToday’s everyday luxury reflects the

your good china dishes and silver

at the dinner table or by indulging

in a single decadent, gourmet piece

of dark chocolate. With large-scale

movement and real-life textures,

these patterns bring practical

opulence to the heart of the home.
