Colour Drenching: The most colorful craze in interior design!
What is Colour Drenching? Do you dare to embrace color?
"Colour drenching" means painting a space with one shade or color series: walls, ceiling, moldings, radiators, furniture, and small items. The style has become a trend, but it is not fleeting – it is an interior design approach that creates a striking atmosphere.
Welcome to the newest trend in interior design: colour drenching!

This bold, atmospheric, and colorful interior style has gained great popularity among interior designers, artists, and Instagram influencers. In colour drenching, color gets to shine!
How do I achieve the Colour Drenching style?
Choose one shade or color series and use it extensively throughout the space: on walls, ceiling, moldings, and furniture. The ceiling is an important part of the whole – it is the fifth wall. This creates a unified, calm, and impressive spatial experience.
Do you dare? Why choose Colour Drenching?

Colour drenching creates a harmonious whole and can make small spaces feel larger and large ones more intimate. Color is the most important creator of atmosphere. Restaurants and hotels have used this method for years – now it’s brought home.
When you can't find ready-made furniture in your favorite color, paint it yourself. This style is perfect for those who love recycling and creativity.
Choose the right color and the atmosphere comes alive
First consider the mood: calm, deep, fresh, or soft? Popular shades include navy blue, forest green, and burgundy, but nothing is more personal than your own favorite color.
Tips for Colour Drenching
Start small: Test the style in the hallway, bathroom, or by painting the radiator and moldings the same shade as the wall.
Choose quality paints and a matte finish: Ultra-matte finish works best and creates a calm impression.
Highlight details: Also paint small items to protect the color scheme – frames, pots, clocks, vases, or even roller blinds.
Take care of the lighting: Warm, soft light supports the depth of color.
Are light shades your thing?
Try colour drenching with natural white and cream shades. When there are no white contrasts in the space, the atmosphere becomes calm and unified.
Pastels work just as well – for example Rosy Dusk, Wise Old Sage, and Eye Candy.
Choose beige or nude
Light neutral shades blur boundaries and make the space look larger and softer. This works especially well in boho style and children's rooms.
