Laminex's showroom at 50 York Street gives visitors a chance to see the brand's decorative surfaces at a scale that's hard to judge from a small sample chip, with large-format benchtop displays and more than 50 door finishes shown in full-size panels. Laminex has been part of Australian building and renovation projects for more than 90 years, and the showroom reflects that broad reach, covering woodgrain, mineral and solid colour finishes suited to kitchens, bathrooms, furniture and joinery across residential and commercial work. Staff are on hand to talk through material selection and installation considerations, useful for both a homeowner planning a single renovation and a designer specifying finishes across a larger project. The showroom's design, created by Platform by Design Office, has itself been featured in design media as a rotating display space for finishes and colour. Trading Monday to Saturday with slightly shorter weekend hours, the showroom sits within easy reach of South Melbourne's other kitchen and design brand showrooms, making it a practical stop for comparing surface finishes as part of a wider renovation visit, and a useful resource for designers researching finish combinations across a larger project.
