Using Formica Samples

One of the most important things you can do to ensure that you will be completely satisfied with the Formica countertops that you choose, is to take home multiple amounts of Formica samples from your local retail hardware store. If you do not live close to a hardware store, you can also order formica samples online. Remember to take home with you at least 10 Formica samples at a time, and seriously consider each one.

As stated in previous articles, it is important that the lighting that you are selecting your Formica in, is the same lighting that you will be seeing your Formica countertops and on a daily basis. Hold your Formica samples against the different colors in your kitchen. These colors can come from anything from your cabinets to your appliances, your painted walls and even the floors.

Do not rush your decision, after you have narrowed your selection down to maybe your top three or four picks, you should sleep on your decision overnight. When you wake up the next morning refreshed, look back over your top three decisions and then select one. If you are having a hard time selecting just one, it is a good idea to ask someone else's opinion. Seeking the help of a professional designer or decorator is not a bad idea at times. But remember no matter what they tell you, you're the one who'll be living in your home, and ultimately should make the final decision on what color countertops are we going in your home.
