Now trending: color drenching!  Step aside accent walls!  A new, bolder approach to color is making waves.  Color drenching is capturing attention everywhere! It’s the art of enveloping an entire room in a single shade.  At its core, this design technique involves painting all surfaces in the same or closely related hues.  This emphasis on simplicity and unity can bring s sense of calm and visual harmony to a room.  The allure of this technique lies in the unique atmosphere it creates.

BENEFITS OF COLOR DRENCHING

Color drenching creates a sense of spaciousness.  It blurs the lines where walls meet ceilings.  The continuous flow of color eliminates visual boundaries. This gives the impression of an expanded area.

Using a single color or tight palette of similar hues creates a unified and harmonious space.  The effect is calming and soothing.  At the same time, it reduces visual clutter by minimizing contrasting elements.

Different colors evoke different emotions.  Color drenching amplifies these effects, creating a truly unified atmosphere.  Darker shades feel cozy and dramatic.  Lighter tones can feel airy and tranquil.

Committing to a single color throughout a space can be a bold and confident design choice.  This allows for strong expression of personal style and taste. 

HOW TO TRY COLOR DRENCHING IN YOUR OWN HOME

Color drenching offers these all these benefits.  However, it is important to consider the existing light in the room and the size of the space.  Also, consider the desired mood to ensure the chosen color and application are effective.  Choose a color you genuinely love and can live with long-term.  Painting all surface is a big commitment.  Embarking on a project of this type requires thoughtful consideration.  

It is recommended that you get color samples.  Try them on large swatches and observe them in various lighting conditions during the day.  You may want to try several different colors before you make your final decision.
