Color Drenching
Transform Your Space with Color Drenching
If you love bold, statement-making interiors, color drenching might just be your new favorite design trick! This trend is all about embracing a single hue and using it across walls, ceilings, trim, and even furniture for a rich, immersive effect. Whether you want to create a cozy, moody vibe or a bright, energetic space, color drenching is an easy way to make a big impact. Let’s dive in!
Moody Elegance: Color Drenching in the Primary Bedroom
This stunning room is a perfect example of the power of color drenching. Painted in Field Trip by Clare, the deep olive green envelops the walls, ceiling, trim, and even doors in an ultra-cohesive and immersive atmosphere. The single-hue approach enhances the room’s architectural details, making the intricate molding and paneling stand out in a sophisticated way. The eggshell sheen adds a subtle warmth and soft texture that elevates the space.
This space proves that color drenching isn’t just about painting everything the same shade—it’s about layering textures, finishes, and complementary tones to create a truly stunning effect!

A Bold and Inviting Hallway with Color Drenching
Hallways are often overlooked in design, but this space shows how a rich, saturated color can elevate even the most transitional areas into something special. Painted in Reddened Earth by HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams, the warm, earthy tone envelops the walls, trim, and ceiling in a cozy yet dramatic embrace. This terracotta-inspired hue adds depth and warmth, creating a welcoming atmosphere as you move through the space.
Color drenching here brings out the architectural details, allowing the moldings and doorways to flow seamlessly into the design, avoiding any interruptions to the visual flow. The warm undertones complement the natural wood elements and soft lighting, enhancing the intimacy and stylish vibe of the space. The walls and ceiling are finished in satin sheen, while the doors have a semi-gloss finish. If I had to do it again, I would opt for satin on the doors as well—the semi-gloss feels a bit too glossy for my taste.
This hallway proves that even the smallest spaces can make a big impact with the right color and finish choices!

Soft & Serene: A Dreamy Bedroom with 50% Malted Milk
For a cozy yet elevated feel, this 50% Malted Milk by Sherwin-Williams color-drenched bedroom is the perfect balance of warmth and softness. By using a lighter, custom-mixed version of this creamy beige, the space feels airy and inviting while still offering a rich, enveloping effect. The walls, ceiling, and trim all blend seamlessly, creating a soothing and cohesive environment—perfect for a restful retreat.
The eggshell sheen adds just the right amount of softness while reflecting a touch of light, keeping the space feeling warm and welcoming. Looking back, I would opt for 100% Malted Milk instead for a bit more depth and richness, but this toned-down version still creates a beautiful and serene atmosphere.
Color drenching in this subtle, warm tone proves that neutrals can be just as impactful as bold colors, bringing depth and character while maintaining a timeless, calming aesthetic.

A Playroom Full of Color & Fun
For a lively and cheerful playroom, Pressed Flower by Sherwin-Williams brings the perfect pop of color. This soft, yet vibrant hue adds warmth and energy to the space, creating an environment where creativity can flourish.

The flat finish provides a smooth, understated look, but I recommend opting for eggshell for a bit more durability and a subtle sheen that’s easier to clean. Pressed Flower pairs beautifully with colorful toys, playful patterns, and cozy textures, making it a space where fun and imagination can run wild. It’s the perfect backdrop for a room that will grow with your child, offering both whimsy and warmth.

The Ultimate Playroom Makeover: A Color-Drenched Dream in Pressed Flower
If there's one space in our home that sees the most creativity, giggles, and pure joy, it's my daughter's playroom. And after its latest refresh, it’s better than ever! From the dreamy pink walls to the upgraded storage and new activity tables, every detail makes this space both beautiful and functional. Let’s dive into the details of this color-drenched paradise.
The Bold and Beautiful Wall Color
First things first: the walls! I wanted something warm, inviting, and playful, so I went all-in with Pressed Flower by Sherwin-Williams. It’s the perfect rich, rosy hue that creates a cozy yet energizing space for playtime. To add depth and character, I incorporated box moulding with basecap trim, which gives the room a touch of classic charm while keeping it playful.
A Pink Light Fixture to Tie It All Together
A pink room needs the perfect pink light fixture, and I found just the one! It adds a whimsical yet modern touch that complements the Pressed Flower walls beautifully. The soft glow makes everything feel warm and magical—exactly the vibe I wanted for this space.
Upgrading Storage: From Cube Shelf to IKEA Trofast
Storage is everything in a playroom, and I recently swapped out our basic 8-cube shelf for the IKEA Trofast system—and WOW, what a difference! The drawers make organization a breeze, keeping toys neatly tucked away but still accessible for little hands. Now, everything has a home, and clean-up time is so much easier (for both of us!).
Playroom Must-Haves: Seating, Tables, and More!
No playroom is complete without comfy seating, and the egg chair is hands-down one of the best purchases we’ve made. It’s the perfect spot for reading, relaxing, or just hanging out while playtime is in full swing.
For activities, we have a classic kids’ table, perfect for coloring and Play-Doh. And for Christmas, we added a multi-functional chalk/car/LEGO table, which has quickly become a favorite! Whether she's doodling, racing toy cars, or building her latest LEGO masterpiece, this table does it all.
Her Favorite Playroom Pieces
Some of the most-loved items in the playroom include:
Her dollhouse – an absolute steal of a deal and a favorite for hours of imaginative play.
The IKEA play kitchen – which I gave a custom makeover! (Check out the full DIY transformation here).
The easel – a chalkboard on one side, a magnetic whiteboard on the other, with an option for paper to roll down. Perfect for endless creative expression!
This playroom refresh has made such a difference in how my daughter plays and enjoys her space. It’s colorful, functional, and, most importantly, designed to grow with her. If you’re looking to revamp a playroom, my biggest tips are to prioritize storage, embrace color, and choose multi-functional pieces that can adapt as your little one’s interests evolve.
