FAQ: Color Drenching Doorways
How to Color Drench Your Doorways Like a Pro!
One of the biggest questions I get when it comes to color drenching is: What do you do with the door?! If you’ve been wondering the same thing, don’t worry—I’ve got you covered! Let’s break it down step by step so you can achieve that seamless, stylish look in your space.
Step 1: When the Door is Shut…
When your door is completely closed, it should match the walls in that room. That means if you’re drenching your space in a dreamy shade of green, your closed door should blend right in with that same color. Easy, right?
Step 2: When the Door Swings Open…
Here’s where it gets a little more dynamic! When you open the door, the front side (the side that faces into the next room) should match that room’s color. So if you’re stepping into a green-painted space, the front side of the door that faces that room should be green.
Step 3: What About the Backside of the Door?
Now, go to the backside of the door and check the hinges. This side of the door should match the room you are standing in when the door is open. So, if you’re standing in a pink room, that side of the door should be pink.
Step 4: The Door Jamb—Let’s Walk Through It Together!
Now, let’s talk about the door jamb (the frame around your door).
Stand on the side where you pull the door shut. Every part of the jamb that you see from this angle should match the door. So if your door is pink, the visible jamb here should also be pink.
Now move to the other side, where you push the door shut. The rest of the jamb on this side should match the walls of that room. Imagine your door “nestled” into its frame—it should all be a smooth continuation of color.
The Key to a Seamless Look
The main goal here is to avoid seeing another color peeking through when your door is closed. Keeping the door and its surrounding frame within the same color family ensures a cohesive, wrapped-in-color effect that truly embodies the color-drenched aesthetic.
Now, It’s Your Turn!
I promise—it’s just paint! You can always tweak and adjust as you go. So go ahead, grab that paintbrush, and transform your space with the magic of color drenching. You got this!
Happy painting!
