“Fearless and fun, colour drenching is a concept that’s set to be a major trend throughout 2023 because it creates a focal point and injects personality into any room.”

The days of painting a feature wall a different colour or incorporating wallpaper into your space for bold clashy design are being replaced with colour drenching, which has the ability to make a room feel larger or more cosy depending on the shades used.

McGrath says colour drenching can elevate a space in multiple ways, as painting a ceiling the same colour as your walls creates the illusion of a larger room and higher ceilings, while colour drenching with lighter colours can really “open up a space”, making it feel bright and airy and can make a smaller room feel larger.

Meanwhile, the use of darker colours for colour drenching creates drama and a sense of luxury and opulence.

Colour drenching is the monochromatic interiors trend to watch in 2023
