The Biggest Color-Drenching Mistakes Designers Want You to Avoid

Bathroom with dark olive painted walls, half tiled in cream tiles, a terracotta coloured freestanding tub, artwork on the wall, and a white sink.

A color-drenched look can make a beautiful statement in a room. Whether it's a punch of vibrancy or a cocooning hug, saturating your scheme with a hero paint color lets you make as bold (or subtle) a statement as you desire.

While color drenching can be summed up as covering a room in a hue, there's more to the room color idea than meets the eye. In fact, like all praiseworthy design trends, pulling off the look comes down to a keen eye and avoiding the (all-too-easy-to-make) paint mistakes that can get in the way of your new color scheme.
