There is something to be said about committing to a color in a space. Whether you are opting for a neutral living room or a bold blue bedroom, monochromatic rooms have an enduring appeal and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Troye Sivan tapped into this phenomenon with his own home's powder room, which is an example of color drenching at its finest. The walls and ceiling are painted a moody crimson, creating a uniformity in the contemporary area.
Meanwhile, pale pink marble makes a statement as the vanity and floor material, keeping in line with the blush-red family that dominates the room. It's giving us fantastic powder room ideas.

Made using 20 coats of high gloss cherry red lacquer (and polished between every coat) this scalloped tray is designed to sit atop your ottoman to transform it into a cozy coffee table laden with decor and drinks. However, it would look just as fabulous as a catch-all in a powder room.
This elegant ceramic set comes with a tumbler, soap/lotion dispenser, toothbrush holder, and soap dish, perfect for any bathroom or powder room.
A red vase is perfect for adding a touch of color to your bathroom, whether you want to color drench or add a pop to a neutral space.
According to experts, there are several different ways to approach color drenching, whether you want to paint or implement some textural elements.
'Color drenching can be achieved through paint but equally well through tiling on walls and floors,' explains Louise Ashdown, head of design at West One Bathrooms. 'This gives you a chance to add texture and depth with everything from marble and mosaic to glazed to patterned tiles. Or consider waterproof wallpaper – this way you can stick to your colour theme but introduce a subtle pattern to break it up a little.'
Louise recommends keeping to one color family for optimal results, and choosing a hue that fits the mood of the room (reds and pinks, as Troye proves, make perfect picks for a luxurious-looking bathroom or powder room).
'This trend is not one to follow in half measures – so pick a color and stick to it,' Louise suggests. 'It doesn’t have to be a primary bright, it works equally well in a soft pastel, but do your research, see how colors make you feel and what suits you – you’ll spend a lot of time looking at your reflection in a bathroom, so you want the space to complement you, not clash.'
