Embracing color drenching for a cohesive and immersive design effect
LET'S BREAK SOME RULES AND BE CREATIVE
Rather than using just one shade, explore the depth and versatility of a color by layering tones. Use a deeper tone on walls, a medium tone for upholstery, and lighter tones for accessories like curtains, rugs, or artwork.
Traditional design often leaves trims and ceilings white, but color drenching breaks that rule. Paint walls, baseboards, crown molding, and even ceilings in the same hue.
Integrate furnishings into the color scheme for a dramatic, unified appearance. Select sofas, chairs, cabinets, and textiles in the same color or slightly varied shades.
Monochromatic spaces risk feeling flat without texture. Incorporate velvet, linen, glossy finishes, or matte surfaces in the same color. A wall with decorative paneling or wallpaper can add another layer of texture.
Accent lighting or dimmable fixtures can enhance the mood of your color-drenched space, highlighting depth and creating a dynamic environment.
