It's simplest not to use VLANs or tunnels. VLANs are useful for partitioning an L2 network into multiple virtual networks, but they require extra coordination.
Tunnels are useful for partitioning an L3 network into multiple virtual networks, but they require even more coordination. I suggest using the simplest technology that is suitable.
