Uzone.id – Trends are constantly changing. Either create something new, or recycle the old. This year, in line with the many requests to add texture in the home, designers are introducing a new trend, material drenching.
If previously people knew color drenching, now designers are introducing drenching materials as a new trend. Unlike color drenching which arranges a room in one color, material drenching creates a homogeneous effect with one material.
Material drenching is a method of coating a room with a single stone, tile, wood, mirror, or fabric to create a luxurious look with different nuances. This method gives the impression of “intentional” to a room.
This mixing of lines, patterns, wood, or marble in a single space creates a dramatic effect, which encourages emotional and physical interaction that adds to the sensory appeal.
Simply put, material drenching is a method in which homeowners use one of the same materials and use them everywhere. Starting from the walls to the kitchen table. The effect, by using one material in one room, will create a cohesive room that gives an elegant and bold effect in decoration.
Roots of drenching materials
The material drenching trend is a contemporary trend whose roots date back to the 1920s. In those days, interior design moved away from Art Deco-layered luxury and then switched to a sleeker look.
The concept then evolved which was influenced by modernist architecture and the contemporary desire to have an immersive and more personal space.
This trend is increasingly popular because more and more people are creating interior spaces that are more sensory and personalized. This trend is also influenced by the increasing demand to blend design, commercial, hospitality, and housing.
Applying the material drenching method to the interior will create a view that the homeowner is forward-thinking and keeps up with the most modern design developments.
What can and cannot be done with the material method of drenching
The drenching trend started with color which then shifted to wood, patterns, and now into the material. Just like already explained, drencing means covering part or all of a room with certain elements that create an all-encompassing feel with a striking look.
Well, before trying the material denching method, there are two things you need to pay attention to, namely the choice of space and material. Why are these two things important? Here we describe the reasons.
Select the room you want to decorate
The scale of the room is important to consider before trying drencing materials. This method of drenching material is ideal for large rooms, such as bathrooms and living rooms. The goal is so that the material can be exhibited without making the room feel cramped.
In addition, make sure the room gets enough light. The lack of light will only make the room feel cramped and cramped. In addition, from a health perspective, rooms that lack light generally feel damp so that viruses and bacteria can easily multiply.
Pay attention to the materials to be used
It should be noted that not all materials are suitable for drenching materials. Each material will create a different atmosphere. For example, a room full of velvet has a gloomy atmosphere, while wood is not suitable for use as a kitchen table because it gets dirty easily.
On the other hand, a room full of linen will create an airy impression, while stone material is not suitable for use in the room because it will accentuate the cold feel.
However, while there are many options, natural materials such as stone and wood offer a timeless and classic look. Considering trends come and go, with the right materials, interior design will be more durable than using trending materials on top of trending looks.
If you are still confused about what material you need to choose, discuss it with the interior designer or contractor responsible for this. However, the most important thing is not about the room or the material chosen, but about what kind of feel you want to create.
