The Rise of Colour Drenching: Transforming Ceilings and Trims

Hey there, Hobart homeowners and business owners! At Performance Painting, we’ve been brushing colour onto Tasmanian properties for over 30 years, and let us tell you, there’s a trend taking the design world by storm that we’re absolutely thrilled about: colour drenching. It’s bold, it’s vibrant, and it’s transforming spaces in ways that make jaws drop. So, grab a cuppa, and let’s dive into why colour drenching is stealing the show and how we can help you bring it to life!

 

So, what’s colour drenching? Picture this: instead of just painting your walls, you envelop the entire room—walls, ceilings, trims, even doors—in one glorious hue. It’s like wrapping your space in a warm, colourful hug. This trend is a game-changer, playing a pivotal role in creating cohesive, immersive environments that feel both modern and timeless. Whether it’s a moody navy, a soft sage, or a daring coral, colour drenching adds a layer of sophistication that’s anything but convoluted.

 

Why’s it so popular? Well, it’s all about impact. Painting ceilings and trims the same colour as your walls creates a seamless flow, making rooms feel larger, cozier, or even more dramatic, depending on the shade. It’s a plethora of possibilities! For smaller spaces, a light drench can open things up, while darker tones in larger rooms add warmth and character. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to highlight those intricate architectural details—like cornices or window frames—that might otherwise get lost.

 

Here at Performance Painting, we’re not just painters; we’re your partners in bringing your vision to life. As a family-owned business, we’ve been serving Hobart and surrounds since 1994, and we’ve seen trends come and go. Colour drenching, though? It’s got staying power. Our team of Dulux-accredited painters knows exactly how to tackle this technique with precision. From prepping surfaces to ensuring every brushstroke is flawless, we take pride in delivering results that make your space sing. And with our free colour consultations, we’ll guide you through choosing the perfect hue to match your vibe—whether it’s calming, bold, or somewhere in between.

 

Worried about the mess? Don’t be. We’re all about minimising disruption, leaving your home or business cleaner than we found it. Our 5-year workmanship guarantee and up to 40-year paint warranties mean you can trust us to deliver quality that lasts. Ready to drench your space in colour? Give us a call at 1800 937 868 or book an obligation-free quote online. Let’s transform your ceilings, trims, and everything in between with a look that’s uniquely you. At Performance Painting, we’re here to make your colour dreams a reality!

Performance Painting have just painted my ceiling in the lounge room and three cupboards plus the walls and window frames in the kitchen.
A brilliant job has been completed!
The work done has been done so well. It is a 1915 home, so the detail was not easy, and it was done beautifully.

Luke and the team at Performance Painting are the best painters in Hobart. They have completed several jobs for us over the years: a full exterior repaint on a 1950s weatherboard house, almost a full interior repaint, picket fence, and deck. Luke has always been great to deal with - friendly, knowledgeable, skilled and reliable. The quality of their work is impeccable with great attention to detail, and such a clean job site. Highly recommend, these guys are fantastic!

Luke and his team have just finished an exterior painting project on our heritage listed cottage in South Hobart.
Performance Painting were recommended to us by friends who were impressed by their professional manner and highly skilled workmanship.
We are absolutely thrilled with the painting they did for us, from the very prompt and detailed quote Luke provided, the brilliant colour matching he arranged for the lime wash and particular unnamed shade of heritage green we wanted for windows and front door, to the exceptional quality of their work.
It was a very enjoyable experience having Luke and his team at our home.
I highly recommend Performance Painting.

Luke and his offsider were a pleasure to have in my home. On day one the room was cleaned and the painting was completed on day two.

I found Luke of Performance Painting through Dulux Preferred Painters. He was so professional in his on line and phone communication.His quote was delivered in a timely fashion and was competitive with others I received.

Luke has now completed the work as quoted, and it has been performed to the high standard I expected. It was finished in the time frame advised and the cleanup following job completion was much appreciated, especially the re-placement of furniture.

I highly recommend Luke for any painting required.

We found Luke and his team to be punctual, diligent and professional. We were quoted for 9 or 10 days for the whole exterior of our weatherboard home and the job was completed in 9 days. Can recommend.

Luke and his crew were fantastic. So well organised and worked well as a team. Our house was painted internally and externally in a week. Nothing was a problem for them and their attention to detail was faultless

Performance Painters recently completed much needed painting inside our home.
We are totally delighted with their workmanship and our home has become fresh and a pleasure to live in.
The job was long overdue and involved most rooms in the house - including the large living space.
The home is fifty-four years old and was showing its age. Now it is smiling and the energy is sparkling.
The crew involved were expert painters, most respectful and totally focussed on the job at hand.
There is obviously total trust between management and the painters and ‘only the best’ work will be done.
Communication between all involved was maintained appropriately at all times.
We have already recommended their business to another home improvement company which is carrying out house improvement for us.
We thoroughly recommend Performance Painters - a Tasmanian inter-generational owned and run family business.
