The Importance of Wood Stains

Although many homeowners overlook wood stains as a necessity, they are extremely vital when curating an outdoor space. They bring everything together aesthetically when designing a patio or deck. Wood stains are the finishing touch that makes your space inviting to guests and perfect for get-togethers and hosting barbecues.

Erika Woelfel, Vice President of Color & Creative Services at Behr, knows this and says, “We believe wood stains hold just as much power as paint. They offer a polished finish on decks, porches, doors and more which can enhance the overall curb appeal.”

When it comes to Cordovan Brown, Woelfel says, “Paint and stain can play off each other beautifully, creating a balanced color scheme on exterior surfaces and structures. Pairing darker wood tones like Cordovan Brown with soft natural paint colors creates contrast and compatibility for any style.”
