There is something about an interior space drenched in a warm-colored wood that feels so 70s-inspired. Given that the distinctive decade is having its biggest comeback in home design this year, I'm not surprised that this chic take on the drenching technique is coming out of the woodwork.
Wood drenching is the latest interior design trend that takes wood paneling to another level. The concept has been born out of the famous "color drenching" technique where you douse an entire room — walls, ceilings, and woodwork — in a color of your choosing. In 2025, however, designers are swapping in floor-to-ceiling wood for paint to stunning effect.
