Inspired by Possibility: The 2026 Wilsonart^® HPL Design Launch

Three distinct moodboards bring the inspiration behind the launch to life, exploring different expressions of color, texture and material. Together, they showcase the versatility and possibilities of the new designs.

Courtney DiPietro, one of Wilsonart’s Product Designers, worked on the launch and offers behind-the-scenes insights. She says, “This collection is more than designs. It’s a tool. It’s the new core for Wilsonart HPL — ready to layer and work across any space.”

Light & Airy reimagines bright interiors with warmth and intention. Instead of stark whites and cool neutrals, this palette introduces soft woodgrains, warm light tones, and subtle woven textures that create spaces designed for clarity and comfort.

Harmony Woodgrains like Aurea, Elementa, and Serenique pair naturally with Terrene Textiles and Strata Patterns to foster calm, maximize natural light, and reduce visual fatigue. The result is an environment that feels open and restorative while maintaining the richness and authenticity of natural materials.

Warm & Balanced brings a grounded, welcoming sensibility to commercial interiors. Inspired by earth tones and layered materiality, the designs pair authentic wood character with refined linear and woven patterns to create warmth and depth without overwhelming the space.

Coordinated undertones across designs like Cinder Strata, Aurora and Fawn Terrene create natural connections between materials, making it easier to build cohesive, layered spaces across workplaces, hospitality, healthcare, retail, education and multifamily environments.

For projects that call for greater contrast and stronger visual identity, Moody & Sophisticated introduces richness through deeper wood tones and architectural patterns. Today’s darker interiors create intimacy and focus, using texture and tonal variation to shape memorable experiences.

The designs featured in Moody & Sophisticated bring depth to hospitality settings, premium workplaces and branded environments while maintaining the balanced, natural aesthetic that defines the overall launch.

Each moodboard offers its own point of view, while the designs are thoughtfully developed to work together across a range of applications. Harmony Woodgrains, Strata Patterns and Terrene Textiles share complementary undertones and authentic textures, creating natural connections that make it easy to layer materials while maintaining visual continuity.

The 2026 Wilsonart HPL design launch reflects a shift toward interiors that feel as intentional as they are beautiful. With versatile designs and thoughtful coordination across the offering, designers have the freedom to create spaces that inspire connection, support well-being and adapt to the evolving needs of the people who use them every day.
