When my parents’ home underwent renovation and the old laminated hardwood floors of one of the rooms had to be removed, we got the carpenters to help us saw the floorboards into uniform lengths. We painted the boards with leftover paint and had the construction workers put up wall brackets in the storeroom so we could use the floorboards as shelves. It worked a treat. Now everything from bags of pet food to the cardboard recycling bins are off the floor, and we didn’t have to pay anything extra for our shelving system!

Make Chess/Checkers board out of it, cut the squares out and alternate the grain – some going 90 degrees to the other, then stick them all down on the other pieces of laminate as backing, and as checker pieces use plastic bottle tops.

Make a set of placemats and coasters with it.

I would save one box if you intend to stay there a long time. This flooring is not indestructible, and by the time you need to repair a section, the pattern you have will not be in the stores.

when we bought our home the wood inside the bathroom cabinet was rotted away, we used some leftover stuff to replace it. Its really nice actually, too bad we couldn’t move into the bathroom cabinet

Line cabinets, make furniture like stackable book cases, dog steps, table tops and legs if you are very creative, bed frames, toy boxes, and do keep a box for patch. Most laminates can get damaged in some way and many can not be sanded out.

We have the same problem–an almost full box of laminate that we’ve had for years. No idea what to do with it.

Depending on how wide/thick it is, it could be used for a small shelf.

It could be used on the walls as wainscotting or as backsplash in the kitchen or bath.
