Colour drenching - making the trend work in your home

  • Trends

A daring trend has appeared over the past few years and has been gathering pace in the world of interior design. Colour drenching is a simple technique that involves painting the walls, woodwork, ceiling and, sometimes the accessories, in a room all in one colour.

It’s a bold move designed to enhance the size of smaller rooms and turn them into modern and creative spaces. Add the finishing touches with complementary Luxaflex® window coverings.

Back to Black

A quick online search for colour drenching comes up with a whole host of ideas and if you don’t want to go all out with one colour you can use the same shades throughout your room to create a similar effect.

For example, a room painted with rich, opulent grey hues can be complemented with our sheer and sophisticated black Silhouette® Shades, which are made from light-loving fabrics in floating vanes that block out the harsh glare of the sun.

Roll with it

If you’re looking for a way to break up the colour block of the drenching technique you could opt for patterned Roller Blinds. Our unique patterns and prints will add extra depth to the room and create a soft focal point.

Our classic Roller Blinds are made-to-measure for your style and home. From beautiful room darkening and light filtering fabrics to smart home control, the exclusive design and quality of a Luxaflex® Roller Blind just can't be matched.

Taking centre stage

Colour drenching allows other room elements, such as the bed linen, lighting or blinds to take centre stage so opting for those high quality finishing touches will really bring everything together.

Black blinds will go with any of the hugely popular darker, richer shades that are all the rage in interiors this year. Our black, custom-made window shutters look breathtaking against a bold colour drenched room. The timeless style is energy efficient, sound absorbing and built to last.

Let there be light

Many would shy away from colour drenching in fear that it will make the room too dark, but with our light loving Pirouette® Shades, you can have the best of both worlds.

Luxaflex® Pirouette® Shades are available in an array of stylish fabric finishes and colours, which are all available in either semi-opaque or room-darkening opacities for complete control over your light and privacy levels.
