Random DIY tip about interior color selections

Random DIY tip about interior color selections

Some of our clients want the wood grain look throughout the interior of their log homes. Log siding 1x6, 1x8, 1x10 or 1x12 is what we offer to complete that dream. Even 1/2 of our 10 inch round-round log. Sansin Purity Interior Stain is the coating product offered in our material packages.

Other clients want to see more color throughout the interior. That usually means sheetrock or some type of paneling, even stone, or all of the above.

When deciding on interior colors, drop in the paint section of your local warehouse or hardware store. They have displays of paint colors. Find the section where they have chips that show two or three color combinations. Pick the combinations that blend well with your wood walls and trim. This solves your questions about what colors work best together.
