Small Renovations that Make a Big Impact
Small Renovations That Make a Big Impact
Learn how these small home updates can add new life to everyday spaces.

The Beauty of the Small-Scale Project
Oftentimes we delay making updates to our homes because we think more about large-scale changes like a full kitchen or bathroom renovation that can be time consuming and costly. But you don’t have to take your high-use spaces down to the studs to implement a new design vision. Below are some examples of small-scale projects that will make you feel like you’ve accomplished something truly special for your home.
Install a Stock Formica® Laminate Countertop and Drop-In Sink
If you’re tired of your existing countertops, there are many beautiful options available as stock items at your local DIY store. These retail locations carry a variety of patterns and colors to help you explore what works best in your home. Updating your countertops can help you quickly and dramatically change the look of kitchens, bathrooms, offices and laundry rooms without a lot of expense.
Perfect Your Countertops with the Right Edge Profile
Achieve a beautiful aesthetic for your countertops by pairing Formica® Laminate with one of four edge profile options. You can select from a classic square edge, postforming, edgebanding and IdealEdge® treatments. Learn more about each of these choices to find the perfect finishing touch for your countertops.
Embrace Biophilic Design
Bring the colors and elements of nature into your home with biophilic design concepts. Add a fresh take to a long-loved space with woodgrain or stone-look laminate countertops, paint or accessories in the colors of the earth and sky, water features and plants.
Install Formica® Markerboard Cabinets
Having a writable surface can add fun, functionality — or both — to existing cabinets. You may find some kitchen or laundry room candidates ready for communicating reminders or just offering a place to doodle. Playrooms or workrooms are also excellent places to consider this type of laminate.
Explore the Design Possibilities
These are just a few of the many ways you can enhance your favorite spaces without diving into a massive renovation project. You can even enlist the help of family and friends, making it a great way to accomplish your design goals and have a good time in the process. Explore our DIY corner for more inspiration.
