Once reserved for bold, all-encompassing paint schemes, color drenching has evolved into a far more nuanced design approach. It's no longer just about coating the walls in one shade, but about layering tonal materials, matching fixtures, architectural details, and decorative accents to create spaces that feel beautifully immersive.
"I think bathrooms are one of the best places to embrace color drenching because they're typically smaller, more enclosed spaces," says Dorothee Junkin of Dorothee Junkin Design Studio. "We spend relatively little time in a powder room, so it's a wonderful place to take a design risk you might hesitate to make in a larger living space."
