What is Colour Drenching? Explore this newest interior trend with us.
At Studio 2, we are always on the lookout for exciting design trends that can transform a space and make it feel unique. That’s why we are thrilled to share the buzzworthy design technique of Colour Drenching, a bold and beautiful way to create immersive, harmonious interiors.
What is Colour Drenching?
Colour drenching is an interior design technique where a single colour is applied across an entire room-from the walls and ceiling to the trim, and can even include furniture and accessories. The result? A seamless, enveloping effect that adds depth drama and a sense of unity to any space.
Benjamin Moore’s Colour of the Year 2025, Cinnamon Slate (2113-40), a subtle plum hue with warm brown tones used to colour drench this interior.
Why does Colour Drenching work?
1. Creates Impactful Atmospheres
When you bathe a room in a single colour, it immediately draws attention and creates a sense of cohesion. Whether you’re aiming for a soothing, tranquil vibe or something more dramatic and powerful, the right colour choice sets the tone.
2. Expands or Enhances Space
Colour drenching can also help make small spaces feel larger or bring a sense of warmth and intimacy to larger rooms. By using one shade throughout, you reduce visual distractions, giving the room a feeling of openness and flow.
3. A Contemporary Twist on Tradition
This modern take on monochromatic rooms is a departure from the traditional approach of mixing multiple colours. Instead, it leans into the ida that one perfect shade, applied thoughtfully, can elevate your space in ways you might never have imagined.
Part of Benjamin Moore’s Colour Palette of 2025 is this beautiful shade Glacier White (OC-37). A soft and serene white, with cream undertones, that doesn’t look too stark or cold. Whilst colour drenching techniques often employ bold or strong colours, softer hues work perfectly too!
Colour Drenching with Benjamin Moore's Colour Palette of 2025
We are also excited to be collaborating with Benjamin Moore Paints, exploring their newly released Colour Palette of 2025.
Their Colour of the Year is Cinnamon Slate (2113-40)-the perfect ‘in-between’ hue that provides an incredibly livable way to incorporate purple into your home. In the collection are 9 other subtle, earthy shades that are perfect for experimenting with colour drenching.
Here are a few we recommend for a full-room transformation:
Stained Glass (CSP-685): A captivating but serene teal colour. Its richness means that it works well with warmer tones, as well as white.
Sea Salt (CSP-95): A light warm grey, with undertones of beige, reminiscent of the salty sandy beaches. The perfect neutral.
Ashwood Moss (1484): The tone is a cross between a forest green and grey, which means the darker colour is rich and comforting without being overpowering.
These hues are just a few of the 2025 Colour Palette’s stunning options that would bring life to your interiors. We believe in the power of colour to express your personality and elevate your environment, and we are excited to help you explore these bold shades in your next project.
