For busy households, time-saving, low-maintenance homes are highly desirable – and DecoWood is the ultimate solution for achieving effortless, beautiful living. While lighter timbers are all the rage at the moment, darker, timber finishes scream sophistication and will help create a warmer and more welcoming atmosphere for your home.  Below are DECO’s top five warming woodgrains for the season. 

Chestnut 

DecoWood Chestnut paired with neutral palettes and natural textures is a winner in our eyes. The dark woodgrain finish applied to our DecoClad cladding profile creates an eye-catching design statement for the façade of your home or the ceiling of your alfresco and front porch. combine stone and white features into your home design and the result will be show-stopping. 

Golden Gum

The warm golden tones of DecoWood® Natural Golden Gum make it a great colour choice to warm up your home this season. Its realistic grain structure creates a natural aesthetic and brings added texture to any space. Add some extra privacy to your property or hide those unsightly services this winter with Golden Gum finished DecoSlat. DecoSlat aluminium slats are the perfect DIY product for creating fences and screens that require very little maintenance. 

Wenge

Enhance your courtyard or alfresco without the need for a complete renovation by adding a batten feature wall. This is a fabulous way to add a natural timber feature to your home and will warm up those bare concrete or rendered walls. DecoBatten’s 2-piece Quick Click battens can be installed vertically or horizontally to create an outstanding contemporary design feature. We are loving DecoWood Natural Wenge this winter; the extra dark woodgrain contrasts well with light block colours and textures. 

Weathered Timber

DecoWood Natural Weathered Timber pairs perfectly with many colours and textures. This stylish, contemporary finish is very popular on our DecoDeck aluminium decking product. The grey-based timber-look finish will suit modern homes that want an alternative to the traditional looking deck colours, while adding a natural warmth to your outdoor space.

Ironbark

Ironbark is regarded as a high-quality timber in Australia and our timeless DecoWood Natural Ironbark finish has been a popular choice for over fifteen years. Part of our Australian Native Species range, Natural Ironbark, a medium toned woodgrain finish, is a beautiful colour for interior projects. Its reddish-brown tones are ideal for adding warmth to any interior space. Many homeowners are now searching for a no-fuss flooring solution and can rejoice knowing that DecoFloor timber-look internal flooring has entered the market. DecoFloor finished in Ironbark is the ideal solution to add some warmth and liven up your living room. 

Kwila

Kwila is one of the most popular finishes in the DecoWood Exotic Species range. It has a rich, brown colour with fine grains that looks like specks. 

The Kwila finish looks good on just about anything, cladding, decking and battens. We love this project by Studio Block in Harington Grove. They have used battens finished in DecoWood Natural Kwila as an alternative to natural wood on the double-sided fireplace.
