Envelope your home with colour

August 21st 2024

This year, interior designers have seen a shift towards more modern, cohesive and considered colour schemes among homeowners. ‘Colour drenching’ – a brave and daring new home design trend – has been gaining popularity giving DIY lovers a way to make colour the focal point in their living spaces.

One space, one colour

Colour drenching is when you choose one saturated colour and apply this to multiple surfaces within a space. This could mean painting walls, ceilings, woodwork, installations or even upholstery. This trend works well in both modern and traditional homes and acts as a great base for patterns and artwork.

Embrace the colour possibilities

Try to choose a colour that makes you feel happy and energised and brings life into your living space. Don’t forget design is not just about what we see but also about how we feel, according to Moods Interior Trends.

Opt for light to mid-neutral shades and blur the lines where the wall and ceiling meet to create the illusion of more space in your home. Experiment with bold and adventurous colours to make a strong statement.

Stay on trend with interiors and exteriors

Take the trend further and match your front and back doors to the interior of your home with Solidor. Our wide range of colours gives you the freedom to find a shade that suits your personality and your home. Choose from more than 20 shades ranging from earthy greens to grey-based neutrals and vibrant yellows and oranges.

Bring the essence of your interior style outside by adding flowers in the same hue and matching your interior hardware to your exterior door furniture. Why not match the colour of your new front door with a complementary matching frame to continue the trend throughout your home.

Increase your space

Make your period property feel more contemporary by expressing the potential of colour and creating enveloping interiors. Wrapping your space in one solid shade can help to make your rooms feel bigger and brighter, and it allows layering to create a succinct but multi-dimensional look.

Use this trend in smaller areas of your home to help maximise your space. Colour drenching helps you to avoid harsh contrasting colours and instead encourages a seamless blend to your décor allowing for a gentler and more tranquil look and feel to your home.
