Discover five colour combinations to double drench a scheme
1. Pair Hopper with Citrine and Dark Brunswick Green
We often see beautiful combinations of different greens within our natural surroundings, from vibrant lime greens to deep forest hues. As such, green is one of the easiest colour palettes to select for your Double Drenching project, as it will feel familiar and soothing.
Paint your living room walls in a rich green like Hopper. Then create a cocooning effect by introducing a darker shade – Dark Brunswick Green – on the ceiling. A pop of the contrasting yellow-based green, Citrine on the window frames, will give your scheme an unexpected burst of energy.

2. Accompany Yellow-Pink with Affogato, Middle Buff and Bassoon
Yellows work wonderfully in a double-drenched space, filling a room with a joyful, positive atmosphere. Instead of using lots of bright shades, choose just one strong yellow for your walls. Then incorporate softer caramels and golden browns on the other surfaces to enrich your scheme.
Yellow-Pink is an earthy yellow that looks vibrant, elegant and cheerful on kitchen walls. Combine with shades like Middle Buff, Affogato and Bassoon on the ceiling, window frame, trim and cabinetry, each adding depth and warmth.

3. Team Hellebore with Blush and China Clay
Pink is a great choice for an understated double-drenched scheme. Perfect for those who want to embrace colour without feeling overwhelmed. Consider a softly contrasting pairing like Hellebore and Blush. Paint a piece of furniture in the darker pink shade to create a focal point that will subtly elevate your space.
Double Drenching is all about embracing colour all over, so avoid using white on your woodwork and trim. Instead, consider a gentle off-white pink like China Clay. Using this shade as a substitute for white will give your scheme a sophisticated, finished look.

4. Combine Tivoli with Woad and Blue Verditer
Blue is a shade that many of us feel confident using. We associate blue with a sense of peace and tranquillity, even in relatively bold or navy blue hues. Consider using mid-strength blues like Tivoli, Woad and Blue Verditer. They will bring an inviting combination of calmness, warmth and vibrancy to your scheme.
You could try using the darkest deep blue shade – in this case, Woad – within a nook or alcove. The simple colour contrast will create an interesting design feature. A great way to add depth and dimension and provide a focal point to draw the eye.

Create a ‘Double Drenched’ scheme with nature inspired hues on every surface. In this hallway, the earthy gold-toned Light Bronze Green pairs harmoniously with the muted yellow Bassoon. But the introduction of the elegant blue-green, Ambleside, is an unexpected one. It creates an intriguing contrast, delivering a space with a creative, contemporary twist.
