Explore our natural wood cabinet stain colors applied to different wood species below. These visuals closely represent the stain colors we offer post-application and curing.

You’ll need to order a stained product from The Cabinet Door Store and compare it in person to ensure an accurate match.
Cabinet Door Wood Stain Colors Guide
Alder
Alder is a light-shaded wood with a natural grain that you can stain to match any décor. No matter what style or aesthetic you choose, alder can be the perfect choice for wood cabinets. For example, you can apply a lighter alder stain shade to showcase its wood grain pattern or knots in a farmhouse space, or a darker stain shade to create a more dramatic look that pairs well with a rustic or modern aesthetic.
Cherry
Cherry is a popular wood cabinet option for several styles because of its rich, warm color and beautiful grain pattern. It’s a classic choice for traditional, Mediterranean, or country-style spaces, but you can incorporate cherry cabinetry into more modern spaces. Medium-toned and darker stain shades for cherry wood complement traditional, rustic, and Mediterranean spaces, while lighter stain shades fit more modern or country-style spaces.
Hickory
Like alder, hickory can be a great choice for rustic or farmhouse-style spaces, especially if it features a knottier wood grain pattern. Raw hickory comes in a light shade that often features contrasting grain patterns, which makes it versatile when it comes to staining options. Clear coats and lighter hickory stain shades are great for a natural, unfinished look in a farmhouse-style space, while darker stain shades are fitting for more rustic or modern stylings.
Maple
Maple features a light shade, straight grain, and smooth texture, which makes it another versatile option for different styles and aesthetics. For example, you can select light to medium shades of maple stain if you want to give your space a farmhouse, country, or traditional feel. Darker maple cabinet stain colors are great for styles ranging from ultra-modern and contemporary to rustic and Mediterranean.
Oak
Oak has a straight wood grain and a light- to medium-brown color depending on the species, which means you can typically stain it with various shades. From traditional to modern spaces, you can easily choose an oak species and cabinet stain color that best suits your space. For example, white oak can be a popular choice for light-colored cabinetry, as you can use a clear coat or lighter stain shade to let its natural light browns and tans come through.
Walnut
Walnut is a naturally rich, dark brown wood with various shades and tones. Dark walnut is one of the most common types featuring light- to dark-brown wood grain patterns with a hint of purple undertones. Walnut’s warmth and depth make it an excellent choice for traditional, Mediterranean, rustic, and modern spaces, especially when paired with darker stain shades.
