After the reign of pure white, interiors are finally breaking free, daring to embrace a more intimate, lived-in expression. Nothing is standardized anymore: every hue tells a story.Expressive, singular, audacious, colour takes centre stage. A perfect example: the rising popularity of colour drenching, a decorative technique that cloaks every element of a room in one single shade.
More recently, double drenching—a term coined by paint brand Little Greene—has made its mark. Here, colour no longer stands alone: it leads the dance through nuanced pairings. Still applied in an all-over manner, it is now accompanied by a related tone, from the same colour family but with enough contrast to spark surprise. A full-fledged chromatic manifesto.

A bold new layer
By transforming colour drenching into double drenching, the British paint and wallpaper brand Little Greene pushes the concept further—encouraging the use of two connected hues to coat every visible surface: ceilings, skirting boards, woodwork, furniture. Composed of unexpected yet complementary tones, the palette creates a bold, almost theatrical atmosphere. Monochrome is dead—long live double drenching!
