Wood Paint: Colour and Character for Every Wood Surface
Wood is one of the most rewarding surfaces to paint and decorate. Whether you are refreshing a piece of furniture, personalizing a wooden object or adding colour to a craft project, the right wood paint makes a significant difference in the quality and durability of the finished result. DeSerres carries a selection of wood paints and stains suited to decorative projects of all kinds, from small craft items to larger furniture pieces.
Choosing the Right Paint or Stain for Wood
Wood paints are available in a range of finishes including matte, satin and gloss, each producing a different look and level of sheen. Chalk-effect and vintage-finish paints are popular for furniture upcycling, creating a soft, matte surface that can be distressed for an aged look. Stains penetrate the wood grain rather than sitting on the surface, enhancing the natural texture and colour of the material while adding depth and tone. For raw or unfinished wood, a primer or base coat helps the paint adhere evenly and improves coverage. A finishing varnish or wax protects the painted surface from wear, moisture and handling. Stencils and templates can be used to add patterns, lettering or decorative motifs to painted wood surfaces with clean, consistent results.
