Color drenching, a trend that goes beyond accent walls, involves immersing a room in a single hue, creating a cocooning, immersive environment. From walls and ceilings to furniture and soft furnishings, the chosen color envelops the space, fostering a sense of calm and visual coherence. This bold approach can be executed with vibrant, saturated shades for a dramatic effect, or softer, muted tones for a more tranquil feel. Texture and subtle tonal variations within the chosen color palette prevent the look from becoming flat or overwhelming, adding depth and interest to the monochromatic scheme.
