Color Drenching – The Must-Try Style for 2024

Color drenching is the interior design trend of 2024. This design is about letting one color dominate your room instead of the traditional white woodwork or ceilings. The return of color drenching indicates a shift in paint application toward a more modern style that boldly embraces color and doesn’t back down from it. Continue reading for our best advice on color drenching at home as well as why it’s a useful paint skill to know. 

What is Color Drenching? 

Paint the ceiling, woodwork and furniture all the same color. “color drenching.”A single-color paint job gives a room an elegant, modern appearance. It’s also less expensive than installing wallpaper or undergoing a full makeover. 

Although it has grown in popularity recently, this décor style is anything but a fad. The color you choose can make a space feel more cozy and inviting, or brighter and larger. Whether you’re trying for a bright, colorful, 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 Color Drench is Important

Color drenching can be a great option for adding a modern touch to a space. It also makes a room appear larger and brighter, especially if it is small or has little natural light. The entire room is painted in the same color so that your eye doesn’t have anywhere to focus. The walls and ceiling are blended together, and the corners and edges of the room have been rounded.

Tips to Color Drench a Room

Use it To Hide Imperfections 

Color drenching works well to conceal undesirable features which are not movable or can’t be changed. Consider any uncomfortably sloping walls (like the one pictured in OMGreen), electrical boxes or old built-ins. 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 the paint finishes

Your room full of colors should not appear flat or lack texture. We recommend using different paint finishes in order to add some contrast and make your colorful room feel more three-dimensional. Eggshells and satins are perfect for walls while semi-gloss is best for cabinets and doors. 

Pick Your Colors Wisely 

There are many things to consider when choosing colors for color drenching.

For example, the perfect color may change depending on the kind of space you’re dealing with. Certain rooms will benefit from cool, dark hues because they receive more light. Other rooms may be better suited to warmer tones or lighter shades. 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 color.

Consider Multiple Shades 

Color drenching requires the use of one dominant color. However, you can achieve balance by using several shades of the same color.

If you’re trying a purple color scheme, for instance, you could mix colors with different tones of lavender, eggplant, or plum.

This technique maintains the color scheme, while creating a more layered look. Alternatively, some designs may choose to apply the color-soaking technique only to an accent wall and not the entire area.
