Abstract: A laminated decorative sheet is prepared by applying a coating layer consisting of a thermo-setting resin composition on a base paper for a decorative laminate which has been prepared by incorporating a composition the whole or a major part of which is composed of a synthetic rubber and/or a thermo-plastic synthetic resin substance into the base paper during the paper making thereof or by impregnating the base paper with the thermo-plastic synthetic resin composition or with the mixture thereof; or alternatively is prepared by laminating another base paper for a decorative laminate which has been impregnated with the thermosetting resin composition on the above mentioned base paper containing the thermo-plastic synthetic resin composition, and the thus prepared layers are laminated under heat and pressure to form a laminated decorative sheet having smooth surface which is subjected to emboss-processing under a heating condition of at least 100.degree.
