We asked Michelle Halford of @thedesignchaser to use her signature Nordic-inspired style to showcase her favourite Surround by Laminex™ profiles. The result: two equally beautiful and stunningly contrasting spaces – a light, earth-toned living room featuring Surround by Laminex Demi Round 20 and a moody bedroom featuring Surround by Laminex Classic VJ 100.
“I chose these two Surround by Laminex profiles to showcase contrasting styles and their versatility in different spaces - both classical and contemporary. To emphasise this further, I used Dulux Colours of New Zealand paint colours in both light and dark hues.
Working with the Surround by Laminex product, I was excited to see how much it elevated the spaces. The timber panels come pre-primed and ready to paint, and the range of profiles spark so many ideas for future interior projects. I’m already looking forward to using it again!”

“I chose the Classic VJ 100 profile - a timeless tongue and groove panelling - for the bedroom to create a built-in bedhead as well as a shelf for displaying art, books, and sculptural objects. The dark charcoal colour of Dulux Rāwene adds a touch of drama.”
– Michelle Halford of The Design Chaser
“For the living room, I chose the Demi Round 20 profile. Bringing warmth and character, the narrow curving rods painted in a soft neutral (Dulux Kai Iwi Lakes) provide a textural yet refined backdrop for the pared-back, Japanese/Nordic-inspired space.”
