Color Drenching

I am so drawn to this concept of color drenching.  It keeps your design palette simple, yet it feels super elevated.  Essentially you are balancing the overall backdrop with one hue and by doing so you create a serene environment within your space.  The chosen color encompasses everything and the result is a calm, inviting, modern and sophisticated space.  It can be a bit intimidating to try but trust me it's WORTH IT!  The best way to achieve this look is to paint everything in the room.  Typically it works best in a closed off room; i.e. not open concept.  All elements including the walls, ceilings, trims, moldings, and built-ins are painted in the same paint color.  Be sure to select a color you love since it will be everywhere in the space.  If you want to kick it up a notch you can also adjust the sheen slightly.  For example, paint the walls in a eggshell finish but paint the doors, trim, and crown in the same color but a semi-gloss finish.  This small adjustment works to create a slight distinction between the various elements but they remain harmonious when done in the same colorway.
