Color drenching is a popular design tactic to completely douse a space with one color: the walls, the trim, the furniture, and often, even the ceiling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cColor drenching is a technique to create almost sensory deprivation. So, it creates a calming, just overall atmosphere that allows homeowners \u2014 or whoever is in this particular space \u2014 to feel like they can focus on exactly what is going on in their space without a lot of outside noise,\u201d says Tracy Morris of Tracy&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tracymorrisdesign.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Morris Design<\/a>. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it has really taken hold in recent years, it\u2019s not a new technique. \u201cIt\u2019s been around for hundreds of years,\u201d says Susan Sutter of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sutterinteriors.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Susan&nbsp;Sutter Interiors<\/a>, pointing to the classically dark smoking lounges often seen in historic homes. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how some DMV-area designers have implemented the technique, and how you can use it in your own home. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-small-space-big-impact-nbsp\">Small Space, Big Impact&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Color drenching can make a really big impact, so it\u2019s often best to do it in small doses. \u201cIf you are going to do a dark, moody room, look at something in your house that is not one of your primary spaces,\u201d Morris says. That could be an office, a powder room, a guest room \u2014 or, in the case of one of her recent projects, a whiskey room. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This space, in a McLean home, started out with hand-cut wood veneer wallpaper on the ceiling. From there, they selected a rug and committed to painting all of the walls a color that matched. The goal, Morris says, was to make the space \u201cas cozy, welcoming, and moody as possible.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kristin Harrison of the design house <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiaandhunt.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Georgia &amp; Hunt<\/a> also recommends keeping to small spaces. \u201cSometimes it really makes a room feel bigger, because there\u2019s a lot less interruption to the eye that happens because you\u2019re covering the whole thing in one color.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/northernvirginiamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/drenched2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-521221\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Photo by Angela Newton Roy Photography<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-play-with-texture-nbsp\">Play with Texture&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For Harrison, a key way to make color-drenched rooms pop is to incorporate different textures throughout the space. She says people often think the technique will make a room feel heavy, \u201cBut there\u2019s so many ways to kind of incorporate different color families with furniture and accessories that you can take away from that heavy feeling very easily.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a McLean Cape Cod\u2013style home, Harrison recently used a neutral taupe color to drench the walls and ceiling of the living space. From there, she used a natural wood table, a jute rug, and a linen couch to bring in several types of natural materials that would complement the color and create visual interest. Even the mantle, imported from Italy, is a pale cream that plays into the same warm neutrals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-go-with-your-gut-nbsp\">\u2018Go with Your Gut\u2019&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you\u2019ll want to find a color you love before you coat a room in it. Sutter says to \u201cgo with your gut\u201d to find the right shade. Look for colors that \u201cbring you joy and happiness,\u201d she says, and colors that are already incorporated into your home\u2019s design. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While designing a library in a new-build home, Sutter saw that blue was a key theme throughout the home, so that\u2019s the color she went with for the couch, walls, and built-in shelves. In this space, the fabric for the sofa was the first thing picked out. \u201cWe like to choose one element that\u2019s harder to find, so a fabric or a rug, first. And then paint \u2014 we can customize it to any color. So that tends to come later in the selection process,\u201d Sutter says. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the color selection process, Morris even recommends turning to your own wardrobe for inspiration. \u201cWhat you wear typically indicates colors that you are really, truly drawn to,\u201d she says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But ultimately, remember that it\u2019s just paint, and you can have some fun with it. \u201cWith paint, what\u2019s the worst thing that happens? You paint over it, you paint it white again,\u201d says Harrison. \u201cI think paint is one of the things that you really, actually can take some risks with.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Feature image by Greg Powers<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>This story originally ran in our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/northernvirginiamag.com\/in-this-issue\/in-this-issue-may-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">May Issue<\/a>.
