Top 5 most popular interior wood stain colors on pine
You’ve chosen your wood, now you just need to pick the best wood stain color that will bring out it’s natural beauty and protect it. From wall coverings like log siding, barn wood, and paneling to trims, doors, and railings, wood stain is one of the most important aspects to helping an interior wood project flow.
A few trends we’ve seen is that customers tend to prefer a lighter shade for the wall covering and a dark wood stain color for the trims and doors. Additionally, pine is the more popular wood surface that typically uses a colored stain, rather than cedar. Because white cedar has a natural light and dark combination, we typically just use a clear coat to magnify its natural color.

Most popular pine wood stain colors
Weathered grey wood stain
Grey wood stains are getting increasingly popular with homeowners and contractors because they can give a classic, rustic look to newer wood. Our weathered grey is frequently used with contemporary, modern rustic wood products like our barn wood siding. Typically, we don’t use any type of clear coat on our weathered grey colors, as it takes away from the aged look of the stained boards.
Saddle brown wood stain
As the name suggests, this interior wood stain is reminiscent of a worn cowboy’s saddle. Saddle brown can be best described as a rich, deep brown color that is warmed by hints of orange and yellow. It’s the perfect shade for creating a cozy, country look inside your home.
Wine barrel wood stain
Reclaimed wine-soaked wooden barrel planks can make for stunning paneled walls. Now, imagine that same great rustic, dark brown color on your walls but without the hangover. That’s what you get when you pre-stain your nickel gap or tongue and groove paneling with our wine barrel wood stain color. Request a sample today!
