Color Drenching Deep Dive

Alice Lane
About this episode

In this episode we talk about the trend of the year, which we saw coming down Runway for sure in 2024 and some in 2023, and it’s called the Color Drench. This episode will unpack what this is and where to do it, how to do it, how we’re doing it, and we’re gonna share 5 projects that have been shot. We’ve been practicing this for probably the last 9 years and we didn’t know what it was called back then, but now we do and it’s awesome.

“As color drenching goes well beyond the simple accent wall like a monochromatic fantasy, the trend is all about a full-on single hue explosion across all surface levels in a room. In addition to the walls and ceilings, many objects and insulations such as window treatments and light fixtures get the same color treatment. However, a single color treatment doesn’t mean monotony. When color drenching a room, many designers opt to play around with the paints’ finish, mixing them both gloss and matte across a variety of textures such as wood or plaster to create greater interest.” 13:10
