Find out how to use Laura Ashley Wallpaper, Paint, Tile, and Bedding to get the look
Colour drenching is the latest trend taking the interior design world by storm. This bold and transformative technique involves enveloping a room in a single, saturated hue, creating a cohesive and immersive environment.
This technique can make a room feel more expansive, unified, and deeply expressive. By layering different textures and patterns within the same colour family, you can add depth and interest while maintaining a cohesive look.
Our wide range of wallpapers, paints, tile, and bedding provides the perfect palette to explore the art of colour drenching, allowing you to create a space that is both beautiful and uniquely yours.
Discover how to embrace colour and transform your home with Laura Ashley’s elegant and timeless designs.
Start with A Palette: Choose a colour palette you love and feel comfortable with. Consider how the colour will make you feel and look in different lighting. Shades of blue are a great place to start if you are new to incorporating colour into your space. It is a timeless shade that looks great no matter your style.
Wallpaper – A Foundation of Style: Laura Ashley wallpapers are the ideal starting point for your colour-drenching project. Our collection features a variety of patterns and textures, all available in rich, saturated hues. Even better, our paint collection is colour matched to our wallpaper, helping to take the guesswork out of choosing the right colour paint.
Bold Geometrics: For a more contemporary look, our geometric designs, such as our Louise Star floor and wall tile, offer a sophisticated and modern twist to colour drenching. This pattern creates a striking visual impact, perfect for accent walls or entire rooms.
Coordinated Hues: Choose a paint colour that matches or complements your wallpaper for a unified look. For example, pair the Westbourne Midnight Blue wallpaper with Midnight Seaspray Paint for a cohesive feel. Look beyond walls for an opportunity to embrace colour drenching and opt for painting wood furniture for a fresh way to embrace the trend.
Signature Florals: Our signature floral wallpapers bring nature’s beauty into your home. When it comes to colour drenching, floral wallpaper is a fun option to add personality and colour to any room. Choose a floral wallpaper you love and tap one of the accent colours to paint the room’s walls, ceiling, or wood accents.
Elegant Simplicity: Opt for the same colour bedding in the same hue as your walls and wallpaper for a more understated look. This creates a serene and cohesive environment, perfect for restful nights and relaxing days.
Accent and Contrast: Create contrast by using a different shade of the same colour on adjacent walls or trim. This adds visual interest while maintaining the overall colour scheme. For instance, use Pale Amethyst paint to complement the Wild Meadow Pale Iris wallpaper.
Luxurious Layers: Don’t be afraid to mix prints in the same shade for a fun twist on colour drenching. Layer your bed with coordinating throws, cushions, and pillows in varying shades and textures. This adds comfort and visual interest, making your bed the focal point of the room.
Elegant Textures: Add depth and dimension to your space with our textured wallpapers. Options like Adain Palace Dark Seaspray Blue Wallpaper provide a subtle yet impactful backdrop, ideal for creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
Mix Textures and Patterns: Use a variety of textures and patterns within the same color family to add depth and interest to your space. Not every colour-drenched room needs to be dramatic and bold. Soft hues also work well with the trend. Tap a subtle wallpaper paper print with a floral, geometric print for interest and pair it with a painted wood side table.
Balance and Proportion: Pay attention to the balance and proportion of colour in the room. Use lighter shades to open up the space and darker shades to create a cozy atmosphere.
Paint: The Perfect Complement: Laura Ashley paints are crafted to perfectly complement our wallpaper designs, making it easy to achieve a seamless colour-drenched look. Our paints are available in a wide range of colours, from soft pastels to deep, moody hues. If you are ready to go bold, try painting the ceiling, too. It makes any room more interesting when the ceiling has been painted a rich hue.
Harmonious Patterns: Choose bedding that echoes the patterns and colors of your wallpaper and paint. Our Green Velvet Diamond Stitch Quilt is a great choice to bring your color scheme to life if you have green floral print wallpaper.
Bedding: Completing the Look: No color drenching project is complete without coordinating bedding. Laura Ashley’s bedding collections offer a range of designs and colors that perfectly tie your room together.
