Color drenching is choosing a single color and having every element of a room including furniture, wallpaper, trim and tiling all be in that one color.
It’s a wildly popular trend in bathroom design because bathrooms are typically the smallest room in the home and this choice can make it feel larger and more exciting. But it is not for the faint of heart! It’s a bold statement that requires commitment at every turn.
We have all of the tips and tricks you need to pull off your color drench bathroom ideas.
As we’ve been warning, this is a color that will dominate the space so make sure it’s one you love and that complements the overall style of your home. We recommend choosing some statement pieces early in the process and letting that steer your color decision. You can also create a mood board to see how different elements will relate.
Experiment with different textures.Using different textures and finishes within the same color family, such as glossy tiles, matte paint, and plush towels, adds visual depth and interest to a seemingly monotone design choice.
Proper lighting can enhance the impact of your chosen color. Use warm lighting to highlight warmer tones like reds and oranges, and cool lighting to accentuate blues and greens. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different types of lighting, such as ambient, task, and accent lighting, for a beautifully balanced and soothing atmosphere.
Color blocking typically involves choosing different colours for different walls, but since we’re color drenching, you can try a slight variation of this technique. For example, you can paint one wall in a vibrant shade of blue while keeping the other walls a more muted or pastel blue. This can help you break up the intensity of color drenching.
Consider waterproof panels.Waterproof panels are an easy way to create a water-resistant block of color in your bathroom. They are easy to install and maintain and are available in a wide range of colors, finishes and textures. While they’re especially popular for shower areas, you can also use them on bathroom walls to create a sleek and modern feel.
Art offers opportunities to add visual interest on the walls and shelves while still extending your color theme.
With its obvious connections to water, blue is a popular choice for color drenching a bathroom. A nice deep shade of blue can create a cozy, cocooning effect, which would be ideal for a tranquil bathroom.
The door will be the last thing a person sees in your bathroom before exiting – make sure it’s keeping with the theme. Consider painting it the same color as the walls.
