A stain is a finish that is applied to wood to enhance its color, appearance, and grain. Similar to paint, wood stains are also made up of three parts: a pigment, a binder, and a solvent. View our gallery to see these stain swatches used in designs. You can also follow us on Instagram and like our Facebook or Houzz page for more design inspiration.
Stain Swatches
Stained cabinetry has risen in popularity over the last few years, especially for homeowners who want to embrace a more rustic look that shows off the wood’s natural texture. Plus, often staining is much easier than repainting your cabinets, especially if you are going darker. Cabinet stains range from light to very dark. Light stains will allow you to see more of the wood’s natural beauty, while darker stains will hide much of the grain, but can create a richer color and a more dramatic look. Perfect for traditional designs, designers use stains to create various color tones, as the stain soaks into the wood, allowing the natural knots and grains to show through.
