      A few weeks ago, I started painting my home office. I was silly enough to pick a paint color without testing it. I used it to create a feature wall but I hated it. I came across color drenching and gave it a go. I continued to paint the whole room with the same color. I was so surprised with the end result! There's something about the mood it creates in a room. It also feels less bold for me as compared to using a bold color on a feature wall (not sure if that makes sense) 😂

      @@MA-gk6ntI love how this accidentally turned out for you! I totally agree - a bold accent wall can feel harsh because how it pairs with the adjacent colour, but all in across the walls is cosy and comforting!! It’s perfect for a home office! 🫶🏻

    Do you use flat paint for the doors as well to do a complete even drench?

    • @NicoleSage

      YES! For a true colour drenched look include the doors with either the eggshell version of a dead flat version which can be used on walls and ceilings too, hope that helps :)

    For bathrooms, usually one uses a paint that can adhere to moisture--semi gloss; when drenching, would I use semi gloss on tall trim, doors and walls?

      Morning! So, there is no right or wrong answer, if you use the different types of paint designed for their purpose it will give you a slight variation across the surfaces which can bring more interest, such as standard emulsion on walls and eggshell on trim, doors and walls. Alternatively, some paint brands such as Farrow and Ball have a dead flat range of paint which is designed to be used on all surfaces, this gives the true colour drenched look. I have used this in our downstairs toilet and it looks amazing!

      @@NicoleSage My painter uses Benjamin Moore paints, what paint would you recommend and use in the BM product. I do like the Farrow Ball paints/shades!

      @@dorenepon8502 It doesn't look like they do a multi finish paint, so I would personally go for the paint of your choice in Aura bath and spa - whilst a wood specific paint is recommended for woodwork, as long as your trim and doors are primed beforehand, I would personally use the same paint on here too. This way you will get the same colour finish throughout. (I have used the same emulsion on our woodwork in our living room as the paint brand I was usuing Coat Paints, didn't have a dead flat range and it's come out beautifully). Alternatively, stick with that on the walls and for your woodwork and regal select interior flat - I'm not 100% familiar with the BM products, but they do them in different sheens, so just make sure the wall and woodwork sheen are similar. Hope that helps, sorry the answer is long! x

    Our painter told us to do white ceilings in order to make the rooms look larger. I instinctively rejected that idea.,we have antiques and lots of art up on the walls so we did creme on both walls and ceilings ; white kitchen cabinets. It is fine.

      Well done for going with your instinct!! The white ceiling thing is a dated approach to decorating now 🎨
