4 Wood Stain Colours to Spice up Your Summer


Stain colours are one of the best and most inexpensive ways to spruce up your deck and backyard parties! Easy to apply and quick to enjoy, the various colours of wood stain provide the right amount of pop to complement your entertaining style. Whether you prefer neutral tones or are looking to make a bold statement, wood stains give your deck a modern makeover while providing protection for years to come. With hundreds of wood stain colours to choose from, the options are endless. Here are four colours of wood stain that will really get your friends and family talking:

Best Deck Stain Color #4: Mahogany Wood Stain Color
Darker wood stains are starting to gain popularity. A particularly appealing choice is Mahogany with its chocolate and gray undertones, it creates the perfect backdrop for those who love to accent with splashes of color. When it comes to accessories for this colour grab some bright outdoor pillows, globe string lights, and a bunch of friends to have the first of many summertime barbecues.


Best Deck Stain Color #3: Cape Cod Gray
Wishing you could escape to the beach? Create your very own beach inspired backyard, starting with your deck! Cape Cod Gray will make you and your guests feel as though you've been transported to a private beach house on the coast. Pair this with nautical accents, beige furniture, and vivid blue planters to complete your very own coastal retreat at home.



Best Deck Stain Color #2: Copper Verde
If you're looking to make a statement, but not ready to commit to over the top colors, this dark green colour of wood stains is perfect for you. Subtle, but distinct enough to garner attention, your deck will quickly become the most talked about in the neighborhood when stained with Copper Verde. Contrast your deck with bright, colorful flowers and barrel planters to create a sanctuary your guests won't want to leave.



Best Deck Stain Color #1: Honey Gold 
Wondering how to enhance the traditional look of your decking with deck stain colors? This warm, natural stain will transform the most basic of decking into a platform worthy of a spa. Adding warmth and richness to your outdoor living space by staining with Honey Gold will help create a sense of hominess and tranquility. With a couple of chaise lounge chairs you will be set for nights of star gazing and relaxation.



Choosing your wood stain is the most crucial part of your backyard transformation. When browsing deck stain colours make sure to consider the type of wood your deck is made of. While a light, pressured-treated wood would look great with stain colours such as Honey Gold or Cape Cod Gray, a darker, cedar-based deck may fair better with darker wood stain colors, such as Mahogany or Copper Verde. With the right prep, wood staining is an easy and quick process you can tackle over a sunny weekend to revamp your yard into the 'it' place of the summer!
