PPG announced its Olympic® Stains and Pittsburgh Paints & Stains® brands have selected Chestnut Brown as their 2023 Stain Color of the Year. Balancing between retro and elegant, this rich color complements trends of warm minimalism and earthy hues and can be used to help homeowners create an aesthetic that is on-trend with popular design styles. This rich, warming brown is the perfect on-trend hue for outdoor living spaces, including decks and pergolas.
“As spring begins to blossom in the U.S., many are looking forward to backyard get-togethers with family and friends, only to realize their decks and patios need a quick refresh before leaving cooler temperatures behind,” says Amy Donato, senior marketing manager of Architectural Coatings. “Updating stain color is one of the best–and most inexpensive–ways to spruce up wooden surfaces and using Chestnut Brown will help consumers stay on trend.”
Like all living spaces, DIYers can use color to set the tone in outdoor areas. Thanks to its warm undertones, Chestnut Brown inspires feelings of connection and calm, perfect for welcoming loved ones into entertainment spaces. The rich depth of the color can be used to create a sophisticated backdrop to porches and decks when paired with crisp white trim and fabrics introducing a pop of color.
Using Chestnut Brown in outdoor spaces can be both fashionable and functional, as stain plays an important role in the protection of wooden surfaces. To best preserve and enhance the natural life and look of decks, siding and more, Chestnut Brown is available in a variety of stain products and opacities.
