The solid coloured Tabu veneers are a versatile and stylish choice for interior design. These natural veneers offer the best features of traditional veneers combined with a wide and consistent colour palette. Tabu veneers bring unique character, warmth and texture to spaces. They can be used on wall surfaces, furniture, doors and many other interior elements to create uniform yet natural surfaces. The range of colours allows designers to create striking ensembles that blend in perfectly with the rest of the room.
What are the Taboo slashes?
Tabu through-dyed veneers are thin slices of natural wood that have been through-dyed using a special technique. Unlike traditional veneers, TABU in dyed veneers the colour extends throughout the material, making them particularly resistant to wear and tear.
The manufacturing process uses advanced technology to impregnate natural veneers with dyes using pressure and heat. This technique preserves the natural structure and texture of the wood, but allows for a wide range of colours. Tabu veneers are thin - typically 0.6 mm thick - which makes them flexible and versatile for use in a variety of interior solutions.
The choice of colours is one of the main advantages of Tabu veneers. The range includes both natural wood tones and bolder colour options such as blue, green, red and black. This allows designers more freedom to realise different interior visions while preserving the natural beauty of wood.
Which spaces are best suited for dyed-through veneers?
Tabu solid coloured tiles are ideal for a wide range of spaces thanks to their versatility and durability. They work particularly well in spaces where you want to combine natural look and a personal colour scheme.
In homes, Tabu veneers can be used in living room furniture, kitchen cupboard doors or bedroom decor, for example. They bring warmth and cosiness to a space, but also allow for a modern look through colour variations.
In office spaces, solid-coloured veneers are ideal for partitioning, reception areas and conference room walls. They create a professional and stylish look while softening the acoustics and atmosphere of the space.
In public spaces such as hotels, restaurants and cultural buildings, Tabu tiles offer the possibility to create spectacular and durable surfaces. They can be used to create wall panels in auditoriums, restaurant bar counters or hotel reception areas, for example, in a way that will withstand use but retain a stylish appearance for years to come.
How can Tabu veneers be combined with other materials?
The solid-coloured Tabu veneers are excellent partners for many other surface materials, making them a flexible choice for interior design. A successful combination of materials is based on the balance of contrasts and to complement the properties of materials.
Metal and Tabu veneer form an elegant pair, where the coolness and hardness of metal meets the warmth and softness of wood. This combination can be used, for example, in furniture with a metal frame and veneered parts. In particular, the combination of brass and dark veneers creates a luxurious effect.
Thanks to its translucency, glass works well with coloured veneers. The clarity of the glass and the textured surface of the veneer create an interesting contrast. This combination is often seen in display cabinets, partitions and interior elements.
Concrete and veneer are opposites that complement each other - the roughness of the concrete and the smoothness of the veneer create an interesting tension. This combination works particularly well in modern and industrial spaces where warmth is desired.
Tabu veneers work in partnership with laminates to provide solutions for a variety of applications. When you combine a monochrome laminate with a coloured veneer, you create a well-balanced ensemble where both materials come into their own.
How is the maintenance and upkeep of dyed veneers carried out?
The maintenance of through-dyed Tabu veneers is relatively easy, but the right methods will ensure their longevity. The most important maintenance guide is regular cleaning with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and cleaning that is too wet, as they can damage the veneer surface.
For daily cleaning, just wipe the dust off with a dry microfibre cloth. If the surface needs a more thorough cleaning, use mild soapy water and dry the surface thoroughly immediately after cleaning. Always avoid solvents and alcohol-based cleaners.
It is important to protect the slicing surfaces from mechanical damage. Use soft materials as substrates and avoid placing hot objects directly on the slicing surfaces. If scratches appear on the veneer surface, the smallest ones can be repaired by light sanding and refinishing with the same surface treatment.
When properly cared for, Tabu veneers will retain their beauty for decades. The advantage of through-dyed veneers is that because the colour extends throughout the veneer, small scratches do not reveal a different coloured substrate, as they do with regular veneers.
In what way do the veneers have an impact on the atmosphere of the space?
The solid-coloured Tabu veneers are a powerful tool for creating atmosphere, combining the warm texture of wood with the psychological effects of colour. Choice of colour is an important factor in the atmosphere you want to create in a space.
Neutral and natural wood tones, such as browns and beiges, create a calming and earthy atmosphere. They bring warmth and cosiness to a space. These shades work particularly well in spaces where you want to emphasise naturalness and timelessness.
Darker shades, such as deep navy blue, dark green or black, add depth and drama to a space. They create an impression of luxury and elegance. Dark colours work particularly well on accent walls or furniture that you want to highlight.
Bright colours such as red, yellow or turquoise bring energy and cheerfulness to the space. They work well in spaces where an active and lively atmosphere is desired, such as creative work environments or children's spaces.
The texture of the veneers adds visual interest and vibrancy to the surface. The orientation of the texture influences the experience of space - vertical lines emphasise the height of the space, while horizontal lines create the impression of a wider space.
What are the benefits of solid coloured Tabu veneers in interior design solutions?
Tabu solid coloured veneers offer many practical advantages in interior design compared to other surface materials. One of the most significant advantages is their durability and longevity. Because the colour extends throughout the material, they are much more resistant to wear and tear than surface-painted materials.
The aesthetic value of taboo slices is undeniable. They offer the warmth and texture of real wood, but thanks to their modern colour palette, they can be used to create a wide range of interior solutions. The natural patterning of the veneers makes each surface unique, adding depth and personality to any space.
Design flexibility is another major advantage. Tabu veneers can be easily combined with other materials and adapted to different styles. They work in modern, Scandinavian and classic interiors.
Ecology is an increasingly important factor in material choices. Veneers are a sustainable choice, as they allow efficient use of wood - a single piece of wood provides significantly more veneer surface area than solid wood structures.
At Lorella we offer a wide range of TABU dyed veneers in different colours and patterns. We can help you find the most suitable options for your project and offer expert advice on material selection.
