What is Double Drenching?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The buzzy concept of double drenching<\/a> is currently making headlines within the world of interior design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new paint trend involves using two or more related colours to paint all surfaces in a room, including walls, ceilings, woodwork and radiators. It aims to create an alluring look by eliminating the traditional white ceiling and skirting board contrast.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The term was first used by Little Greene<\/a> this year. The UK-based paint company recently released an online guide<\/a> for what they coined as double drenching; using two or more cohesive colours to cover all surfaces within a space for maximum dramatic effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key features of double drenching<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bold blends<\/strong>
The technique encourages the use of vibrant shades that might not typically be paired together. Opt for colours you love or choose a theme such as nature-inspired shades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Harmony and contrast<\/strong>
Even if the colours are vivid, they should complement and be ‘in tune’ with each other. Start with timeless colour combinations<\/a> that are always in style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Impactful transformation<\/strong>
Double drenching can dramatically change the appearance of a room, making it feel more inviting and visually interesting. The concept is all about celebrating the power of colour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Colour Drenching?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The original colour drenching concept is a similar technique to double drenching, but it involves using a single, dominant tone throughout the entire <\/em>room. This creates a bold, maximalist effect. Think: the complete opposite to the more subtle neutral home trend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To colour drench a room, start by choosing one hue to set the tone. This could be a deep blue, dusky black or a more delicate shade such as sage green or soft pink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you’ve selected your primary colour, use it liberally throughout the room; applying it to the walls, ceiling and skirting boards for a truly immersive experience. For added depth and interest, incorporate accents of complementary colours. These can be featured in your furniture, textiles, artwork or decorative accessories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key to colour drenching is to embrace an interconnected palette; letting your chosen shades command all <\/em>the attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the benefits of colour drenching?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A monochromatic scheme can make a powerful impression and draw attention a the room’s unique features. By using a single shade throughout the entire space, colour drenching achieves a unified aesthetic. Colour drenching also adds extra style points that can enhance the appeal and functionality of a room:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Optical illusion<\/strong>
The choice of colour can influence the perceived size of a space. Dark colours make a room feel more intimate, while lighter hues can create a sense of openness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sets the mood<\/strong>
Different colours can evoke various emotions and create a specific atmosphere. For example, blue can promote relaxation, while red can stimulate energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Reduces decision fatigue<\/strong>
Eliminate the need to choose multiple colours for walls, ceilings and baseboards and “drench” everything in one shade to simplify your design process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
