Autumn interior in a shade of burgundy

27 of September '22


Saturated burgundy is an extremely exquisite color. How to dose this strong yet elegant color to avoid a feeling of heaviness?

What is the color burgundy?

Its name comes from one of the most famous wine regions in the world. Burgundy is the color of mature red wine. This color is an intriguing combination of an intense shade of red with hints of violet and plum. Like wine, it is elegant and distinctive. We associate this color with aristocracy. After all, burgundy has always adorned royal robes, insignia and palaces. This is an ideal choice for all who prefer strong colors and noble classics. It will be perfect for autumn interior design. The warm color of maroon red will allow you to conjure up a wonderful atmosphere in your home even during the cold seasons.

For the bold

If you like distinctive arrangements, use burgundy color on the walls. However, you must remember that with such intense colors, less is more. In large rooms, you can paint one or even two walls burgundy. However, if you want to paint a slightly smaller room burgundy, use burgundy only as an accent. For example, you can apply it on two walls next to each other and create a work area this way. A burgundy wall is also an excellent background for graphics and paintings. Especially well presented will be those in gold frames. Such expressive walls will look beautiful in combination with furniture in warm colors. Opt for darker shades of wood such as walnut, oak, ash and rosewood. Burgundy walls are perfect for eclectic style interiors. So let your imagination run wild when it comes to choosing accessories.

Statement piece, or burgundy furniture

We are increasingly seeing burgundy on sofa upholstery, especially velour sofas. A wine-colored designer pouffe, an uszak armchair or a ludvik chair would also be a great choice. This color harmonizes with natural wood, marble and granite. So match it with simple and light retro-style dressers or openwork consoles with marble tops. Combined with gray or navy blue, burgundy will create a memorable styling. To maintain the atmosphere and at the same time maintain moderation, combine burgundy furniture with decorative elements in a fresh cream color. On the other hand, shiny brass or copper ornaments will complement the autumn decor with class.

A note of red wine

If you're not comfortable with such bold arrangements, introduce burgundy into your interior with accessories. Burgundy elements can come in different shades and degrees of saturation - from very dark, subdued and dull to intense, vibrant and shiny. Textiles will be ideal. Maroon pillows or wool blanket will add coziness to the interior. While burgundy curtains will enliven the bright walls. A fluffy burgundy carpet will also work great. It will look especially good in combination with a dark wooden floor.
