Treasure Valley Trend Alert: Color Drenching for Mood-Rich Interiors
When Boise designer Gina Wagner of Seed Interiors creates a space, every element is selected with intention—her work in the 2025 Boise Parade of Homes with Paradigm Construction is a perfect example.
What Is Color Drenching and Why Is It Trending in 2025?
Color drenching—the design trend of the year—floods a space with a single hue across walls, trim, ceiling, and accents for a dramatic, immersive effect. The trend has taken off for its ability to create visually unified, mood-rich spaces that feel both modern and timeless. Perfect for a home office, study, or a moody, dramatic dining room like the one featured in this Parade Home.
Did You See Color Drenching in the Boise Parade of Homes?
In the Parade home, Gina showcased this trend in the dining and bar area by choosing Sherwin-Williams Iron Ore, a bold soft black, for the millwork and cabinetry. To build on the depth of the room, she layered in a luxurious wallpaper above the paneling:
Ronald Redding Classics Wallpaper – Geodes in Black (Pattern No: KT2162).
This abstract, geode-inspired design introduced soft movement and subtle shimmer, elevating the drama of the iron-toned walls and tying into the warm brass lighting and hardware used throughout the space.
How Budget Blinds of Boise Completed the Look with Velvet Drapes
Budget Blinds of Boise partnered with Gina to design custom velvet drapes in a rich coordinating hue to bring the space to its full potential. The plush texture of the velvet softened the bar's bold lines and created an inviting softness to the sleek cabinetry.
The drapes were installed using ceiling-mounted brass hardware, echoing the gold finishes of the light fixtures and cabinetry details. This elevated touch ensured that even the window treatments contributed to the curated, high-end atmosphere of the room.
Why It Worked
This space was a masterclass in layering: the matte iron tones, the organic swirl of the wallpaper, the sheen of the velvet, and the gleam of brass all worked together to create a luxurious, lived-in design. It truly showcases how color drenching can be enhanced with texture, pattern, and custom window coverings that complement and complete the space.
