Without a question, the interior design trend of 2024 has been colour drenching. This design is all about showcasing one colour and letting it take over your room, as opposed to the conventional appearance of white woodwork and ceilings. The return of colour drenching indicates a shift in paint application toward a more modern style that boldly embraces colour and doesn’t back down from it.
What is Colour Drenching?
To paint everything the same tone, including the ceiling, woodwork, and furniture, is known as “colour drenching.” Painting a room a single hue provides a clean, modern look and is also less expensive than applying wallpaper or doing a complete makeover.
Although it has grown in popularity recently, this décor style is anything but a fad. It all depends on the colour you select to make a room feel cozy and welcoming, or larger and lighter. Whether you’re trying for a bright, colourful, or maximalist aesthetic, or you want to boost simplicity for a minimalist and modest style, color drenching can work in a wide range of locations.
Why Should You Colour Drench?
Not only is colour drenching a great way to add a modern touch to your space, but if you have a particularly small room, or one without a lot of natural light, color drenching is a great way to make the area seem bigger and brighter. Everything is painted the same colour, so your eye has nowhere to focus. A room appears larger because the edges and corners are rounded off and the wall-to-ceiling line is blended.
Tips To Colour Drench A Room
Use It To Hide Imperfections
Colour drenching is ideal for hiding undesirable features that are immovable or cannot be changed. Consider any uncomfortably sloping ceilings, electrical boxes, old built-ins, huge radiators, and any other odd elements you could be stuck with. You’re deceiving the eye and making these elements virtually disappear—or becoming as low-profile as possible without doing a complete renovation—by painting over them and matching them to the walls.
Change Up The Paint Finishes
Your room full of colour should not look at all flat or lacking in texture. Utilize different paint finishes to give a little contrast and make your colorful environment feel less one-dimensional. Eggshell and satin are great for walls, while semi-gloss works best on cabinets and doors.
Pick Your Colours Wisely
When it comes to colour drenching, there are generally no bad colors, but there are several things to take into account.
For example, the perfect colour may change depending on the kind of space you’re dealing with. Certain rooms are better suited for dark hues in cool tones because they get more natural light, while other spaces are better off with warmer tones in lighter hues. Otherwise, a lot will depend on your own taste, the style of décor you desire, and the impression you want to achieve when selecting a colour.
Consider Multiple Shades
Although colour drenching calls for the use of a single, dominant colour, you may easily achieve balance in the room by utilizing several tones of the same colour. If you’re trying a purple colour scheme, for instance, you could mix colours with different tones of lavender, eggplant, or plum.
This technique keeps the colour scheme while producing a more layered effect. Furthermore, some designs choose to depart from the colour scheme for the majority of the area and apply the colour soaking technique to a single accent wall.
