After a laminate flooring project, you might find yourself with leftover pieces that don’t quite fit anywhere else. Instead of tossing these extras, why not put them to creative use around your home? Laminate scraps can be repurposed into stylish décor items, functional household pieces, and unique DIY projects. Here are some innovative ways to use those leftover laminate pieces to enhance your home and get the most out of your materials.
Laminate pieces can make for a unique and easy-to-clean backsplash in kitchens or bathrooms. With the right adhesive, you can apply the laminate pieces to create a rustic or modern look, adding character to any room. Choose pieces that match or complement your décor, and arrange them in a pattern that suits your space.
If you have enough leftover laminate, use it to design a custom headboard for your bedroom. You can create a variety of designs, from a simple horizontal or vertical arrangement to a herringbone or chevron pattern for added visual interest. Secure the laminate pieces to a wooden frame, and attach it to the wall or directly to your bed frame for a stylish and unique focal point.
Laminate pieces can be repurposed as attractive shelves that match your floors or contrast with your walls. Use brackets to mount the laminate pieces to the wall, or attach them to wooden supports for a sturdier shelf. These shelves can be installed in any room, adding both storage and style without costing extra.
A laminate accent wall can bring warmth and texture to a space, and it’s a great way to use leftover pieces creatively. Choose one wall in your living room, bedroom, or hallway, and arrange the laminate in a pattern that adds depth to the room. This project works well with larger pieces and can be a fun DIY weekend task.
If you have a small table, desk, or even a nightstand that could use an upgrade, laminate pieces can transform the surface. Arrange the pieces on the table-top, securing them with adhesive. This is a simple way to refresh old furniture and create a coordinated look with your flooring.
For a quick and creative project, use laminate pieces to create unique picture frames. Cut the laminate into thin strips, and glue them to the edges of a plain frame for a stylish, wood-look border. This can be a fun way to add a personalized touch to framed photos or artwork.
Transform your laminate scraps into a coat rack or key holder by attaching hooks to the laminate and mounting it to the wall. This functional décor piece works well near entryways and can be customized with different hook styles to suit your aesthetic.
Leftover laminate can also be used to create a sturdy base for small plant stands. Cut the pieces to fit the top of an existing stand or create a unique stand by stacking and gluing laminate pieces together. The water-resistant nature of laminate makes it ideal for plant stands, as it’s less likely to be damaged by spills.
If you’re a pet owner, use leftover laminate to make a custom feeding station. Laminate flooring’s water-resistant surface makes it ideal for food and water bowls. Cut the laminate to fit a small wooden frame, and secure bowls in place for a durable, stylish feeding area that’s easy to clean.
Instead of using traditional liners, leftover laminate can be cut to size and used as drawer liners. This adds durability to your drawers and makes them easier to clean, especially in kitchen or bathroom drawers that may experience spills or stains.
With a little creativity, leftover laminate pieces can be transformed into beautiful and practical additions to your home. From stylish backsplashes to unique furniture upgrades, there are countless ways to repurpose laminate flooring beyond the floor itself. So, before you dispose of those extra pieces, consider how you can turn them into a personalized DIY project to enhance your space.
