A Guide to Help You Choose the Right Wood Product for Your Design

When it comes to interior design with natural wood veneer, the look and feel of your space are essential to its both function and your comfort. Choosing the right wood can make all the difference to creating a space that is warm, welcoming and full of personality. To create or enhance your aesthetic or ambiance, you need the right color, texture, and pattern. Jacaranda can help you bring your visions to life with wood veneer products for every environment.

Interior Design with Natural Wood Veneer

Using natural wood veneer in interior design saves wood and allows for more decorative techniques and versatile styling options. By altering the cutting or matching method, Jacaranda can achieve a wide range of designs and looks. To make veneer, wood is cut into extremely thin sheets that are bonded to another backing to make wall coverings, furniture or other design elements. We can alter the backing, we can change the way the veneer looks or even transform the way you can use it.

Find the Right Wood Product Your Project

You will need to consider several factors when deciding on the right veneer for your project, including species, type of veneer and finish.

Finding the right species is about more than just the right color or grain pattern. Woods are categorized as soft- or hardwood. Softwoods are woods that come from cone-producing trees such as cedar, fir, pine, spruce and redwood. Hardwoods are woods from leaf-producing trees, such as birch, oak, mahogany, maple, poplar and walnut. Hardwood tends to accept stain more easily.

Jacaranda offers a variety of veneers that can work for virtually any project, including:

SanFoot
