painted wood

Tinted timber surface

Wood that has been coated with paint, as opposed to stained, varnished, or left natural.

The phrase typically appears in contexts of furniture, trim, or architectural features: The painted wood on the porch is starting to peel.

Painted wood requires more maintenance than stained wood but allows for brighter colors and can hide imperfections in the grain.
