Double drenching
A bold balance
Double drenching takes the drama of colour drenching to new heights while adding sophistication through careful colour pairing. Instead of committing to a single shade, this approach creates visual interest by combining two coordinating colours. The result is rooms that feel bold yet thoughtfully designed, with each colour playing its perfect part in the overall scheme.
Drama in layers
Whether you're using them to introduce your secondary shade or to complement your main colour choice, curtains and blinds offer the perfect opportunity to embrace this trend. The way fabric catches the light adds another dimension to your chosen colours, creating subtle variations throughout the day.
Creating harmony
The secret to successful double drenching lies in the relationship between your chosen colours. Your curtains or blinds can help achieve this balance in a number of ways. You might choose curtains in your secondary shade to complement painted walls or layer curtains and blinds in coordinating colours. Texture is another great way to add depth to a limited colour scheme.
Getting started
Not sure where to begin? Start with a colour you love, then choose curtains or blinds in a complementary or coordinating shade. This allows you to experiment with the trend while keeping the option to adjust your colour pairings. Look for:
Bold, statement colours for your main shade
Complementary tones that create harmony
Fabrics that showcase your chosen colours beautifully
Textures that add dimension to your colour scheme
Tip
When choosing your colour combinations, consider how light affects your space. Test out colour swatches and fabric samples in multiple lighting scenarios to get a sense of how they will look throughout the day.
