Refresh Your Surfaces With Interior Stains and Finishes
Wood finishes and stains are a simple way to give old furniture and surfaces a new and improved look. There are several types of interior stains that can be applied to achieve different results. Not sure which product to choose for your do-it-yourself (DIY) stain projects? We’ll help you decide.
Interior Stain Types
Oil-based stains enhance wood surfaces with pre-mixed colors that penetrate the surface. They’re ideal for furniture and cabinets.
Water-based wood stain colors come in more than 200 shade options, from dark chocolate brown to bright red and everything in between. To get the exact color you want, you can visit the Lowe’s Paint Desk and get any stain tinted to your preference.
Gel stains are ideal for vertical surfaces thanks to their nondrip formula. Minwax® gel stain is meant for wood, veneer, fiberglass and other surfaces.
Stains and sealers in one offer a rich, long-lasting stain with the protection of polyurethane and the benefit of less work.
Cabinet stain is made with an oil-enriched formula that provides a strong factory-like finish. If you want a professional, high-end look, opt for cabinet and furniture stain for kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Valspar® cabinet stain is ideal for use on bare wood as well as previously painted wood, metal or prepared laminate.
At Lowe’s, we carry a variety of hardwood floor stains in colors like brown, white, gray, red, black and more, making it easy to choose a stain color that’ll suit your space.
Interior Stain Colors
At Lowe’s, you can tint your stain to over 200 opacities. Whether you need a simple black wood stain or a specific shade of gray, you’ll get exactly what you need with the help of our Paint Desk. You can also match your current interior wood stain color with espresso, dark walnut, antique walnut, mission oak and oak tones.
Wood Oils and Wood Repair Options
Wood oil — like tung oil, teak oil and Danish oil — helps to seal and protect wood and keep it from cracking, peeling and chipping. Wood varnish is another option you can use to protect wood furniture. It’s a transparent protective layer that creates a hard outer surface with a glossy finish.
If your wood is damaged, we can help. We have every wood repair item you need, including wood fillers and putties, stain markers, and blend pencils.
