Are you looking to make a statement in your home?
Colour-drenching is the interior design trend that’s making waves in 2025.
After years of playing it safe with neutrals such as grey and cream, people are getting bolder with their colour choices and committing to a single hue.
Instead of having a feature wall or a mix of shades, the same colour is applied to every surface, including the walls, ceiling, woodwork, and flooring.
Read on to find out why colour-drenching is so popular and how our flooring options can help you nail the trend.
Why is colour-drenching trending?
Increasingly more people are keen to move away from neutral, minimalist interiors and embrace the power of colour – whether it be calming sage green, cheerful yellow, or moody purple.
Colour-drenching is the perfect way to make a room feel more cohesive whilst adding depth and untold character.
Using one colour is a brilliant trick for smaller rooms. Because there is no colour contrast between the ceiling and walls, everything feels softer and subdued – making your space look much bigger than it is.
Plus, it saves you from having to go around the room and tape up the corners to ensure crisp, clean lines between the wall and ceiling.
Should your flooring match or contrast your new colour scheme?
Most people focus on the walls and furniture, but colour-drenching is a decorating style that involves using one colour throughout a room – including the floor.
Matching your flooring to your walls will ensure a true colour-drenching effect and create a seamless and luxurious look.
Depending on your chosen colour, you may be able to find a carpet in the same shade or close enough, which will be perfect.
Alternatively, if you’re drenching your room in a dark hue, you could go for a dark wood floor to help tie everything together.
What are the best flooring options for colour-drenching?
From carpets and rugs to laminate and vinyl flooring, we have something to suit every style, taste, and budget at Carpet Style.
Let’s take a look at how different flooring options can be used to transform your home.
Carpets
Carpets are the cosiest choice for homes.
Not only do they add softness and warmth underfoot but, available in an assortment of stunning colours, you should have no problem finding one that matches or complements your interior.
Laminate
If you’re looking to give your space an on-trend look, laminate is an excellent choice that’s also remarkably durable and easy to maintain.
Match moody colour schemes with laminate floors in dark tones or use softer shades to draw the eye to bolder tones in your furniture and accessories.
Vinyl
Available in a range of colours, patterns, and designs – including standard and luxury (LVT) options – vinyl flooring can replicate the look and feel of real wood and stone.
Whether you want your flooring to fit in with your chosen palette perfectly or add vibrant flair to your space, you’re sure to find a vinyl floor that’s durable and affordable.
How to colour-drench your floors
1. Start small
To ease into colour-drenching, consider pairing your furniture with your walls to see if you like the look.
If you do, you can then pair the rest of your surfaces (including your flooring) with the walls without wasting your time or money.
2. Keep things tonal
Colour-drenching isn’t reserved for bold colours.
You can also use softer tones and go for a monochromatic style by pulling various tints and shades together. This will give you the freedom to experiment without feeling overwhelmed.
3. Play around with lighting
Light and shade can make or break a colour-drenched room.
Dark colours can give rooms a cosier feel while lighter tones help brighten things up. Paint swatches on the walls to pick a colour and assess how flooring samples will look from day to night.
4. Add interest
Using a single colour throughout a room is sure to add visual interest but choosing soft carpets or textured vinyl flooring in the same or a similar shade will help add depth.
You could also pair these with velvet or linen furnishings to ensure a sophisticated finish.
