Black Japan with Chairs and Table

Make a statement with a bold black look. Use our Black Japan stain to recreate inviting areas, and transform them into a favourite part of your home.

Black Japan on timber interiors

For your interior timber, complement your lighter elements and pair the Black Japan Floor Finish with white walls and features for a stunning and distinctive contrast. With its warm, deep and sophisticated colour pigment, bright whites will pop. Use black floorboards as a striking backdrop to extend a monochromatic colour scheme.

Black Japan on timber furniture 

For another look, consider using the Black Japan Stain and Varnish for timber furniture – a dark, timber stain that will highlight the natural wood grain and will be the finishing touch to the furniture in your room. These Japanese-inspired timber products are the perfect look for all interiors, particularly minimalist, modern, industrial, and art deco interiors.

Black Japan on timber exteriors 

For your exterior needs, make your outdoor area a standout with our stunning Black Japan Timber and Deck Oil. When paired with the vibrant and lush greens of your garden landscape and the natural textural elements of exposed brick, the black timber stain and oil creates a sophisticated and eye-catching colour scheme and contrasting design. With a unified and bold canvas, you can add a touch of colour for a standout effect, or pair with some bare, natural timber for a rustic design. Black is the new black – take a chance with this striking colour scheme and achieve a stunning design that will bring life into any area.
