Boysen Oil Wood Stain is a protective colorant for interior wood furnishings, bringing out its natural grain. Designers take interest in the wooden texture because its organic and homey vibe. If you’re looking to venture into this well-appreciated material, check out the mood boards we prepared that feature Boysen Oil Wood Stain in different interior design styles.
Midcentury Modern
Sleek, classic and timeless—these are words to describe the Midcentury Modern interior design, something homeowners aspire to. It’s a style that resists constantly-shifting fads though it’s still a flexible design style. There’s ease in incorporating vintage and modern artisan decor which means you can find great value with woodworks. Create a cohesive look through a mix of natural wood textures, neutrals, and pops of color.
Gothic
For lovers of dark and dramatic period statements, the Gothic interior style is rich in patterns, symbolisms, and depth. You don’t need stained glass windows for this style, but if you do, complement it with dark and pronounced colors. For Boysen Oil Wood Stain, Walnut provides the darkest possible stain. Normally, I would recommend maximizing natural light. Though, it is in dark and intricate furnishing that makes the light bend to an interesting glimmer.
Atomic Retro
Who says #TeamKahoy can’t enjoy the whimsy and color of retro designs? Atomic retro is a broad descriptor for 60s and 70s inspirations where complex colors abound. It’s also very anachronistic, using intentionally old-school style furniture and appliances (only the style not the technology). The stain of Oak complements the shimmer of brass, and other nostalgic materials in this style.
Bohemian
Bohemian styles are the rave for those who want chillax interiors (chillax—what a Y2K word). It thrives off of eclectic pieces, especially those made with local and readily-available materials like rattan and fiber. There’s a lot of consciousness reflected in enthusiasts of this style, both in terms of culture and sustainability. For both the space and inner mind, consider a more non-conventional turn in your interiors.
Alpine Chic
The mountain aesthetic is perfect in areas like Baguio and Tagaytay where a persistent cool climate wants warm interiors. While Alpine Chic emerged from tundra regions, this classy but cozy look is great for Pinoy homes as well. Go all-out with sophisticated but rustic feels, and maximize the wood textures. Supplement with lighting that recreates a fireplace, and keep it as comfortable as possible through faux-fur textured furniture.
Things to Remember with Boysen Oil Wood Stain
Remember to follow up the stain with Boysen Lacquer Sanding Sealer to prevent tannin stains from appearing. Then, apply your Boysen Lacquer product of choice as topcoat. Which one to use would depend on your desired sheen.
You should also know that the natural color of the wood will always affect the final color achieved by the wood stain. Try to consider shaping your style depending on the material used by your furnishings.
