Wood drenching is predicted to become a major trend in interiors this year. This comes as no surprise, with the rise in popularity of slat panels, MDF panels, and people looking to past interior trends for inspiration to add character to the home.
Wood drenching offers the perfect alternative to colour drenching—the interior style of painting walls, skirting boards, and ceilings in the same colour—for those who prefer a more natural, rustic aesthetic.
What is Wood Drenching?
Wood drenching follows the same principle as colour drenching, but instead of choosing a paint colour, you select the perfect type of wood. Unlike using a single shade of paint, wood drenching offers more possibilities, as different styles, shades, and textures of wood can be combined.
This helps add dimension to the room and, in an open-plan living space, makes it possible to differentiate certain areas within the room. For example, a deep shade of brown behind a sofa can make the space feel warmer, while a more earthy brown on a wall with a window or patio door can emphasise the feeling of bringing the outdoors in.
Affordable Ways to Wood Drench Rooms
Wood can be a costly material, especially if you want to decorate numerous walls with it.
PVC wood-effect panels provide a more cost-effective option, offering the look of wood without the steep price tag. In addition to being more affordable than traditional wood, they are also easier to maintain and can be wiped clean with warm water, making them an ideal choice for high-traffic areas or spaces prone to dirt and spills.
Another option to consider is slat panels, which can create a sense of depth and dimension, making the space feel more dynamic. Whether you're aiming for a contemporary, rustic, or minimalist style, slat panels can be adapted to complement different aesthetics and styled with various furnishings.
Wood Drenching in Bathrooms
Brown has emerged as a standout choice in interiors this year, with its warm, earthy tones making their way into homes more than ever before. Although brown isn’t typically the first colour considered for bathrooms, it’s a versatile option that can make the space feel cosy and inviting.
When incorporated as a wood-effect finish, brown can transform a bathroom into a calming, spa-like retreat, adding a touch of luxury to the room.
