Got them to show me the large laminate sheets in their warehouse. Found that those which look nice in the catalogues might be too messy (too many dark grain lines) or might look too fake on the big piece. In the end, I decided to go with only one brown and one off-white wood-grain combi for most of my built-in furniture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're choosing mostly safe colors this round too! All neutral tones. Crossing finder that it'll turn out alright Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wowach 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2013 Very nice laminates! Did you engage evorich yourself or was it from Alan? I like the muted brown. Very soothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benauhc 3 Report post Posted March 25, 2013 Hi ment0s, did you use the skirting and capping from Evorich as well? We could not find a close matching skirting color at Evorich and the capping (for stairs and drops) were a little sharp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We could not find a close matching skirting color at Evorich and the capping (for stairs and drops) were a little sharp.We didn't use the skirting fr evorich. Find them overprice IMO. Since the entire house is painted white. We chose a white skirting instead. Still not very close so contemplating to ask contractor to paint over them.Edit: re capping, we only had a small portion that was the main door ledge that we had the capping so it was ok for us so far.
