Hue Drenching

01

Best for

Color drenching is evolving into more nuanced hue drenching.

02

Designer move

Choose mineral, smoky, or earthy colors and vary the sheen between walls, trim, and cabinetry.

03

Trend note

Color drenching is evolving into more nuanced hue drenching. Instead of one flat color everywhere, use related tones across walls, trim, drapery, and upholstery so the room feels enveloping but not flat.

04

Avoid

Avoid saturated novelty colors across every surface unless the architecture and lighting can support that much intensity.
