Inlay and Veneer

Monday, March 19th, 2012

Inlay is a technique that dates back centuries and is still used today to enhance the beauty of furniture. It lends flair of dramatic sophistication yet it is unpretentious. The use of sumptuous materials and marvelous craftsmanship creates a look that is easy to live with and interesting to look at.  There are some truly fine examples of inlay furniture at Colorado Style Home Furnishings where there is a treasure trove of warm and inviting pieces.

 Inlay and Cutting Veneer

Using time-tested forms and materials as their foundation, a solid body of one material is cut out to receive sections of another to form a surface pattern. Small pieces of wood, stone, shell or metals are inserted into cut outs in the body of the piece of furniture. Geometric or floral patterns are used to create designs that add beautiful depth.  Master craftsmen and artisans continue the tradition of making furniture in a way that will show off your personal style with timeless design. This takes extraordinary skill and the result is a relaxed elegance and a look of graceful age. There are truly fine examples of inlay in the showrooms of Colorado Style Home Furnishings.
