Have you heard of double drenching? According to experts, this is the new paint trend to confidently combine color in your home

For some, embracing new color trends in your home is quite a bold step. Take color drenching, for example. A fairly new buzzy term in interiors (although, not actually a new concept), the application of drenching a space in all-in-one color is certainly not for the faint-hearted.

So when we caught wind of a new paint trend from the color experts at Little Greene – aptly named as 'double drenching' – we were suitably intrigued. Here, we break down this hot new take that evolves the color drenching trend and doubles down – and why you'll want to consider this room color idea for your next makeover. If color drenching is the art of washing a singular color across all walls, the ceiling, your woodwork and decorative molding then it makes perfect sense for double drenching to, of course, refer to two colors.

A confident way of working with color that goes beyond the traditional white ceiling paint idea and painted walls; double drenching is a term that the team at eco-friendly paint brand Little Greene have given to the 'dramatic transformation of a space by painting two or more related colors on all available surfaces to achieve an even more accomplished "wow factor" in a room.' Simply put, you take two harmonious tones and use them to drench your space in a wash of cocooning color. Harmony being the key word.

With double drenching, the approach is to confidently combine colors that you might not typically place together in a singular scheme. Traditionally, as Little Greene.
