Elevate wood's beauty with translucent colour

Do you want to bring some colour to your space without covering the beauty of wooden surfaces? Translucent finish is the perfect solution. Translucent paints allow the grain and texture of wood to show, while giving it protection and durability. Translucent paints can be applied to any wooden surface in your interior, including floors, walls, ceilings and furniture.

Different types of wood have distinct characteristics that can affect the look of the translucent finish. The important thing to do beforehand is test different colours. The natural surface and colour of the wood, the number of applications and the gloss rate of  the product all affect the end result. Testing allows you to see how the product and chosen colour interact with the specific wooden surface, and how it looks in different lighting conditions before making the final decision.

The colour you choose for your wooden surface determines how the space looks afterwards. The Tikkurila Timeless Translucent colour collection has various options for all the wooden surfaces in your home. 

Consider the existing colour palette in your space. Perhaps the space is in need of a darker ambiance, created with 241A Dark woods, or should you go for a bolder choice with 239A Flying leaf? 

For discoloured or darker wood, choose a similar or darker shade of translucent colour to ensure a successful end result. Try out 204A Winter Sky or 209A Infinite for a deep dark finish or 217A Warm ground for a warmer look. For a lighter option, go for 243A Serendipity, 210A Arctic light or 200A Fair wing.
