Color Drenching? Deep dive into this bold, beautiful paint trend!
This on-trend take on color means filling a room with different shades of one hue. Whether you give it a try with layered neutrals or find your inner maximalist with a bold, saturated color, you'll be sure to infuse your home with style and sophistication.
What is it exactly?
Color drenching is a stylish home decor technique that involves covering a room with a single paint color to create a bold, intensely pigmented space. It’s about immersing yourself in color, from floor to ceiling (and everything in between!).
Color drenching isn’t just about picking out a paint color – it’s a flamboyant and fun way of giving your home a character overhaul! Done well, this trend packs a wallop of personal style into every brushstroke.
"Drenching" is painting walls, trim, and ceilings in one flat color, masking imperfections like cracks or dents. This unified finish hides flaws, creating a seamless, clean look.
What are The Benefits of Color Drenching
Adds Personality and Depth to a Space. Just like no two people are exactly the same, no two color-drenched rooms will be duplicates. It allows your space to communicate a uniquely personal vibe.
Creates Visual Interest and Impact. A room awash with a single, powerful color is hard to ignore. It speaks volumes without saying a word!
On a Budget? No Problem! It’s amazing what a couple of cans of paint can achieve in terms of aesthetics. The bang for your buck is off the charts!
Add drapery panels in the same "color drenched" shade to instantly elevate the room’s ambiance. The rich, saturated hue creates a cohesive and dramatic focal point, framing windows with depth and texture. This approach enhances natural light while adding a bold statement, transforming any space into one full of elegance and visual interest.
What sheen is best?
Typically I would recommend using an eggshell sheen on the walls, flat on the ceiling, and satin or semi-gloss paint for the trim. However, if you want to use only one sheen, make it eggshell, this will be easier to clean and give a glisten to all the surfaces.
