Colour Trend - Burgundy

Red is the perfect colour choice for the festive season and BURGUNDY is a sophisticated colour tone that can be showcased easily in both modern and classic home interiors. This deep and rich red/purple hue is perfect for creating glamour and sophistication in your chosen room and can be partnered with both clashing and complimentary colour palettes.

Colour Palettes

Burgundy works extremely well with soft white and dove grey hues to create a chic and refined look that is both feminine and masculine in style. If you prefer a more traditional and cosy look then partner burgundy with rich clotted cream, beige and clay tones for a rustic finish that is warm and inviting.  For a splash of period glamour then pair burgundy with deep dusky blue and mulberry tones for a gothic inspired design that is sumptuous and glamorous. If you wish to add a splash of colour to your home then bring together burgundy, crisp white and bold lime or chartreuse for a bright and modern design.

Cushions

A scattering of deep and colourful cushions will transform even the plainest of seating or sleeping areas. For a classic period style design then select rich burgundy velvet and satin cushions with fringed or tasselled edging that give an opulent and luxurious finish. For a more feminine touch then display floral cushions in garden hues such as burgundy, lilac, fern green and duck egg blue that will create a pop of pattern and print in your chosen room. A more modern look can be achieved by displaying an array of burgundy and white cushions featuring bold geometric, chevron or striped patterns to create a focal point against a sleek black or white leather sofa.

Upholstery

Dark upholstery is not only practical for maintenance and cleaning but will create a striking statement in a neutral interior space. Burgundy velvet will make a fabulous addition to an ornately carved armchair or occasional chair and can be teamed with sleek black, crisp white or gold painted frames for an elegant and luxurious finish. If you wish to create some period drama in your dining room interior then upholster some dark hardwood or black painted, French dining chairs with some rich burgundy velvet or satin to create a stylish, stately feel in your home.

Accessories

If you wish to create a homely cottage style in your chosen room then wooden accessories such as oak photo frames, bark effect candles holders and woodland creature ornaments will create an inviting space to curl up during the cold winter months. For a regency inspired design then opt for black and gold accessories that will create exquisite opulence in your home. This colour combination works extremely well on plates, cups and accessories for a glamorous dinner setting. If you prefer to create a sense of space and light in your chosen room then select simple white chinaware and ornaments that will contrast against the deep and dark backdrop.

Furniture

Oak or hardwood furniture will compliment the rich tones of a burgundy interior background and will create a cosy, rural feel that works extremely well in living room and dining room interiors. White and cream painted furniture will also create a traditional feel whilst providing a sense of space that is perfect for smaller homes or compact spaces. Black painted furniture will add drama to your interior but should be limited to one or two statement items as to not overpower the look of the room. If your home is all about glamour and elegance then why not select some French carved furniture with gold gilded frames for an opulent and shimmering finish that will look amazing in a bedroom or dressing room interior.
