Laminex’s Next Generation Woodgrains Arrive at Spectra

When it comes to creating homes that reflect Australian living, it’s all about thoughtful choices—those considered details that make a house feel like home, not just for those who live there, but also to champion where they live.

Now, thanks to Carlisle Homes’ strong supplier partnerships, homeowners have early access to Laminex’s Australian Natives Collection from their Next Generation Woodgrains range, available at the Spectra Showroom. Carlisle is one of the first homebuilders to showcase this innovative surface solution, bringing customers the authentic warmth and beauty of native timber without the upkeep that real timber demands.

Crafted using advanced technology, the Australian Natives Collection offers profound visual and tactile realism, inspired by Australia’s love of the outdoors and a deep connection to natural materials. It’s a game-changer for Carlisle Homes interiors—high-end design made even more accessible, with a true-to-nature finish that brings a space to life.

Inspired by nature, designed for Australian living

The Australian Natives Collection celebrates the country’s rich landscapes and diverse timber species. Drawing inspiration from six principal Australian wood species—from across the continent—this collection captures the distinctive grain patterns, textures, and warm tones that have become iconic in Australian design.

This design philosophy mirrors Carlisle’s own commitment to quality, value, and style. Both brands recognise that great design isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about creating functional, timeless spaces that foster a genuine connection to nature.

The Australian Natives Collection also complements the wider Laminex Colour Collection, giving homeowners endless options to mix and match colours, textures, and finishes for a cohesive, beautifully layered interior.

Realism meets innovation

What sets the Next Generation Woodgrains apart is the technology behind them. Laminex’s AbsoluteGrain® finish adds intricate detailing and textural variation, replicating natural timber’s authentic look and feel. This deep embossing and premium matte finish enhances tactility, providing a durable, easy-to-maintain surface perfect for everyday living.

TrueScale™ innovation takes it further, offering large-scale applications up to 3.6 metres in length and 1.8 metres wide without pattern repetition. Ideal for expansive spaces like feature walls or open-plan kitchens, TrueScale™ also scales down beautifully for cabinetry, shelving, and joinery, ensuring consistency across every part of the home.

Whether it’s a statement kitchen island, custom built-ins, or a feature wall anchoring the living room, these woodgrains add warmth, depth, and character—without compromising durability or ease of care.

Now available at Carlisle’s Spectra Showroom

As one of the first homebuilders to showcase Laminex’s Australian Natives Collection, Carlisle offers customers early access to these next-generation surfaces. The range is now displayed at the Spectra Showroom, where homeowners can explore, touch, and experience the materials firsthand.

Wondering where you could use it? The possibilities are endless. Picture Tasmanian Oak cabinetry softening your open-plan kitchen or the rich tones of Light Jarrah framing custom shelving in the living room. Or imagine a feature wall in the master bedroom, crafted in a native woodgrain, grounding the space with natural warmth.

The arrival of Laminex’s Australian Natives Collection is more than just a showroom update. It’s an invitation to create spaces that feel grounded, warm, and deeply connected to the Australian landscape for Australian families.
