Bye, White Paint! Anne Hathaway Embraces 'Wood Drenching' Instead – It's the Modern Take on Arts and Crafts Style That Designers are Loving Right Now

Anne Hathaway.

'Drenching' refers to the practice of adorning every surface in a room with a single color or material, and 'wood-drenching' just might be the chicest way to do it. Anne Hathaway's dining room shows exactly how inviting, stylish, and warm this look can be.

The actress's wood-drenched dining room within her historic 1906 Arts and Crafts-style home in Ojai, California feels like an ode to the natural material. After purchasing the property with her husband, Adam Shulman, in 2019, Anne worked with Studio Shamshiri, to transform it into something between a chalet and a storybook cottage. Her dining room feels especially intentional, featuring wooden floors, walls, ceilings, and a staircase that mirror the wooden furniture. Only cozy brown carpets add an alternative texture.
