Did you know that the applications for a sheet of decorative laminate extend well beyond countertops?  Here are a few nonconventional yet creative ideas you can try at home*:

1. Use stone patterns as a “natural” table runner – looks great underneath potted plants and other earthen displays.

2. Line the inside back of a bookcase to make an interesting backdrop for books and collectables.

3. Apply to a sheet of particle board to create a custom headboard.

4. Resurface a coffee or side table.

5. Use as a photo backdrop for objects, pets or children.

6. Resurface a wood base to a bar.  For an industrial chic look, try decorative metals.

7. Resurface a kid’s desk or art table – an easy-to-maintain option when water spills and crayon smudges are inevitable.

8. Apply to stair risers to add an unexpected pop of color or pattern.

9. Frame various-sized pieces of the same or different pattern as art (stones such as 180fx® Petrified Wood and graphics such as the Geo (featured above) and Dogbone Collections and Charcoal Boomerang work well).

10. Resurface a worn wood breakfast tray.
