Lattice panels are a versatile and stylish addition to any home, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits. Whether you’re looking to enhance the privacy of your outdoor spaces, define different outdoor areas, add support for climbing plants, or incorporate a decorative element to your garden or indoor space, lattice can be tailored to suit any architectural style. Here’s how to use Cloverdale Paint’s stains and paints to complement your design aesthetic and make the most of this timeless feature.

1. Lattice Designs for Every Style

• Classic Elegance: For traditional homes, opt for lattice designs with intricate patterns that add a touch of elegance. Cloverdale Paint’s SharkSkin® Solid Hide Stain in a crisp white or soft pastel can provide a clean, timeless look. Try Cloverdale Paint’s Standard White (EX083), Winter White (EX053) or Artisan White (EX077). Or incorporate soft colours like Cape Cod Grey (EX097), Champagne (EX113) or Waterfall (EX158). 

• Modern Minimalism: For a contemporary style, choose sleek, simple lattice designs with clean lines. A deep grey or charcoal colour using SharkSkin® Solid Hide Stain creates a sophisticated, modern vibe, adding depth and contrast to your exterior. Try Cloverdale Paint’s Carbon Fibre (EX157), Wrought Iron (EX167) or Blueprint (EX161). 

• Rustic Charm: If you prefer a rustic or cottage-core aesthetic, natural wood lattice treated with SharkSkin® Translucent Exterior Wood Stain lets the natural texture and colour of the wood steal the show, giving your outdoor space a warm, inviting feel. Try Cloverdale Paint’s Honey Maple (72511), Ironwood (72515) or Arbutus (72513). 

2. Using Stain to Complement Your Garden Design

• Colour Coordination: Use stains to harmonize your lattice with the overall colour scheme of your garden. For example, if your garden features a lot of greenery and earth tones, a natural wood stain will blend seamlessly, creating a cohesive look. Or, bold colours can create a striking contrast, making the lattice a focal point.

• Highlighting Features: Staining your lattice in a vibrant colour can help highlight certain areas of your garden, such as a trellis with climbing plants or a pergola. SharkSkin® Solid Hide Stain offers a wide range of colour options to help you achieve the perfect look. Try Cloverdale Paint’s Copper Verde (EX147), Steel Blue (EX155) or Autumn Leaf (EX111). 

• Support for Climbing Plants: Lattice provides an ideal structure for supporting climbing plants, enhancing the natural beauty of your outdoor space. SharkSkin® Translucent Stain’s deep penetration protects the wood while allowing it to breathe, making it a perfect choice for garden settings.

3. Fun Indoor Lattice

• Room Dividers: Inside the home, lattice can be used as a stylish room divider, adding texture and a touch of nature to your interior design. A white or light-coloured stain can brighten up the space, while darker colours can create a cozy, intimate atmosphere.

• Decorative Accents: Lattice can also be used as a decorative feature on walls or ceilings, adding visual interest and a unique architectural element to any room. Consider staining or painting it in a colour that complements your decor for a cohesive look.

• Paint a Lattice Wall Design: Paint a feature wall with a lattice design using paint colours that complement your existing palette. Grab some painter’s tape or lattice stencils to create a stylish geometric pattern that adds depth and visual interest to any room.
