While colour drenching is often associated with bold shades, it
works just as well in soft neutrals. Clay, stone, and grey tones
are increasingly popular in bedrooms and smaller spaces. The
result is cozy and intentionally quiet.
In bathrooms, the same rules apply. However, in these spaces
the trend takes the form of a continuous material. A single
stone, tile or hue, might be applied across walls, cabinetry, and
even basins. The result is an immersive space, proving that
even the most practical rooms can feel elevated and cohesive.

this approach draws focus to texture and creates a spa-like
atmosphere. Dip your toes into the trend by starting with a
small space such as a powder room.
Beyond aesthetics, colour drenching is refreshingly practical.
If you’re painting yourself, it means less cutting in with small
brushes and less time spent switching between colours. With
one paint colour across walls, trims, and ceilings, the process
is streamlined and accessible for DIY projects. The result is a
space that feels cohesive and considered.
Creating an emotional connection with potential buyers is a key part of preparing
your home for sale. Colour drenching helps make your home feel intentional and
memorable, resonating with buyers who are drawn to spaces that feel unique
and thoughtfully designed. By adding personality to just a few key areas, you
can leave a lasting impression and elevate your home’s appeal in a competitive
market.
