Get Inspired by Sauna Shades and Find Yours in the TAIVE Collection

The atmosphere of a sauna is created through the right colour palette – from dark, dramatic tones to light and fresh shades. The TAIVE collection offers a wide range of bench and panel colours to suit every taste. Are you looking for a modern black sauna with light panels, or a warm dark-brown interior? In this article, we present the available options, the most popular colour combinations, and help you find the perfect shade for your own sauna.

Have you ever thought about what your dream sauna would look like? We manufacture all TAIVE collection benches and panels entirely in Espoo at our own carpentry workshop, using high-quality Finnish birch veneer. The collection’s color palette is designed to suit a wide range of preferences and styles – from natural light shades to soft greys, deep dark browns, and nearly black tones. This versatility allows you to create the perfect atmosphere for your sauna, whether you prefer a light, dark, or bold contrast look.

You can choose from three surface veneer options: the warmly toned Hemlock, the natural CWP technical birch, and the grey-toned CWP technical kelo. These veneers can be tinted with a variety of shades that highlight the wood’s natural beauty and unique grain patterns.

In production, we use weather-resistant D4-grade adhesive, ensuring the durability of the products and minimal moisture-related movement – so your benches will remain beautiful for years to come.

A dark sauna creates a luxurious and calming atmosphere. The dark tones of the TAIVE collection – such as the deep Hiili, dark Noki, warm Terva, and neutral Kaarna – offer stylish and timeless options for fans of dark interior styles.

Hiili is an intensely dark, almost black shade. Noki is a slightly softer, warmer dark tone. Among the brown hues, Kaarna is a more neutral and cooler option, while Terva brings a touch of warmth and softness.

The grey-toned Kelo, on the other hand, serves as a versatile shade that sits intriguingly between light and dark in the color spectrum. It blends elegantly with both light and dark surfaces, offering a subtle and tranquil balance.

A light sauna brings brightness and gentle harmony to the space. The light shades of the TAIVE collection offer a variety of moods and options for those who prefer a light interior style.

Kuura stands out as a fresh and cool-toned light shade that enhances the sense of space and airiness. Koivu and Hemlock, on the other hand, are traditional and natural wood shades that bring warmth and a cozy feel to the interior. Hemlock is the warmer and softer of the two, creating a pleasant and inviting atmosphere. Koivu is a fresh, neutral shade that highlights the character of light wood and suits many interior styles, easily pairing with other colors.

Dark benches, light panels? By combining dark and light shades, you can create a trendy and striking contrast in your sauna. For example, deep, dark, almost black benches in Hiili and Noki shades pair beautifully with light panels in Kuura or Koivu shades, bringing modern vibrancy to the space.

On the other hand, lighter panels also work well with benches in warm and neutral dark brown shades like Terva and Kaarna, resulting in a warm and harmonious overall look.
