Burgundy as an interior accent
Deep, warm and elegant: burgundy brings colour into your home without feeling too loud. The dark red is reminiscent of Bordeaux wine and sits somewhere between red, brown and a hint of violet. That makes it surprisingly versatile – from understated to high-contrast combinations.
A lamp, a chair, a side table or a vase: even single pieces in burgundy can give a room more warmth and depth. The colour looks particularly good when you use it deliberately as an accent.
Well-known design classics now also come in dark reds. The PH 5 by Louis Poulsen, the Flowerpot by &Tradition or the Kink vase by Muuto bring burgundy and related shades into your interior with ease.
If you're feeling bolder, you can also choose larger pieces of furniture in burgundy and make them the focal point of the room.
Which colours go with burgundy?
Burgundy looks particularly harmonious with beige, cream, off-white and light greys. These neutral colours let the dark red stand out while creating a calm overall look.
Brown and dark wood make for an especially warm combination. If you prefer stronger contrasts, combine burgundy with pink, blue or green instead.
Materials change the effect too: wood and textiles bring out the warm side of burgundy, while chrome and stainless steel create a modern contrast.
This means the dark red can be interpreted in very different ways – from a small splash of colour to a bold statement.
