Color drenching is one of our favorite new nursery style trends. From a soothing sage retreat to an inviting dusty blue nook, there are endless possibilities to explore for your color drenched nursery. Whether you’re looking to create a space that’s subtle, bold, or a little bit of both, it’s a streamlined way to make a big style statement. Here are five simple steps for color drenching your dream nursery space. 1. Choose your color. The first step to designing your color drenched nursery is choosing your hue. Whether it’s light, moody, or somewhere in between, the vision is yours to create. The key is just choosing one central color, and fully committing to it. You can accent with other shades and hues later, but you’ll want one color to take center stage. 2. Wash the space in it. Cover the walls, ceilings, and even flooring or rugs. Color drenching is all about coating a space in a single hue to create an immersive color experience. Start with your walls or ceiling, and then experiment with bringing the color down to the floor. Even if you’re only drenching a specific nook or section of your nursery space, the same rules apply. 3. Play with furniture. When you picture a color drenched space, you probably envision those painted walls and ceilings — but it doesn’t need to end there. You can also color drench your nursery using furniture pieces. Seek out nursery must-haves like cribs and dressers in the color of your choice. Pieces like the Eloise Crib in French Sage and the Eloise Dresser in French Sage are a couple of nursery essentials that can complement your color story without overpowering your design. 4. Find your balance. Ultimately, what you choose to drench depends on your personal style preferences. If colorful furniture is too much for you, balance out your color drenched walls and ceilings with neutral pieces. The Marin Crib in Natural Walnut with Blonde Cane and the Marin Dresser in Natural Walnut with Blonde Cane are two timeless, neutral-toned pieces that can pair beautifully with a room awash in color. 5. Place the finishing touches. Beyond the essential nursery pieces, you can tie your chosen color in through various accent pieces and decor items. These finishing touches are what give a nursery a personalized feel, so don’t be afraid to get creative. Adding curtains, picture frames, bedding, and more in your chosen hue — or various shades of it — can help bring your color-drenched space together, tying a ribbon on your dream nursery design.
