Country Style
Architectural Remnants Collection
Farmhouse style re-imagines home interior looks from a century ago with new materials. Antique heirlooms easily mix with the straight lines of modern furniture. Homespun rugs cozy up to stainless steel appliances. As featured in our Architectural Remnants collection, laminate wood floors that fit this style have the look of wide, rough-hewn planks with authentic knots and saw marks. Perfect for a renovated mid century house or an urban loft.
Weathered Coastal Charm
Coastal Living Patina Collection
Here's a laid back floor trend that creates character in a room: laminate wood-look flooring that appears to be weathered and aged from the sun, sea and wind. For holiday homes or country homesteads, build your room design from the floor up, starting with laminate floors that have ocean-kissed colours, visual texture and natural charm, like those in our Coastal Living Patina collection.
Reclaimed Hardwood
Architectural Remnant Collection
There’s a thriving industry for reclaiming old building materials, from floor boards to old furniture. Savvy interior designers and homeowners are scooping up these finds in antique shops and op shops and discovering new uses for them in their homes. We offer a more affordable way for you to bring reclaimed hardwood floor trends into your home with a line of laminate flooring called Architectural Remnants. These laminate wood planks have tongue-and-groove edges that fit together and lock into place with no sanding, no staining, no mess.
Hand-Scraped Surfaces
Rustics Premium Collection
If you want the striking looks and long-lasting performance of traditional hand-scraped hardwood, but have a smaller budget in mind, then a laminate flooring style like Rustics Premium is an excellent alternative. Hand-scraped laminate flooring has a contoured surface that looks comfortably “lived in.” Individual planks bear the subtle grooves, scallops and scrapes of an artisan’s chisel
Exotic Beauty
Rustics Premium Collection
Realistically capture the distinctive grain patterns and vibrant colors of exotic tropical species. While the exotic hardwoods may be out of reach for some home remodeling budgets, laminate makes them easily accessible. Hand-scraped texture and random plank lengths add to the realism of this globally-inspired style. Find exotic beauty in many of our laminate collections, including Rustics Premium.
Laminate on the Walls
Architectural Remnants Collection
Floor trends aren't just for the floor — Armstrong Flooring is leading the flooring-on-the-wall trend*, an early-century colonial resurgence that's nothing like the "faux wood paneling" you might imagine. Three of our most innovative and beautiful flooring collections are designed for wall installation, too. Your accent walls don't need to be simple features. Make them show-stopping works of art!
