Why ‘Hue Drenching’ Is the Designer Secret to Making Small Rooms Look More Interesting – 'It's Nuanced and Considered'

Living room with brown grasscloth walls, cream ceiling, lantern pendant light, geometric orange and brown rug, glass coffee table, brown velvet sofa, and a fireplace with tarnished mirror above it.

From living rooms layered with earthy brown tones to bedrooms swathed in pale peachy pinks, 'hue drenching' makes one single color (and its many tones) the star of the show.

While the color trend doesn't sound all that different from the much hyped technique of 'color drenching', hue drenching has more nuance and can create even more interesting, layered spaces with a simple color scheme. Unlike color drenching, where a room is bathed in a single paint shade, hue drenching embraces both ends of the color spectrum, layering the lightest to the darkest tones (that make up one color) through decor, furniture, as well as paint.
