Therefore, we approach rich and elegant colors with great restraint, fearing failure in the form of a darkened and gloomy interior.
Darker and richer shades should be introduced with a certain sensitivity, but if the room is properly decorated, we obtain a unique effect that belongs to luxurious interiors, decorated with splendor but also with taste.

Color combination in the kitchen interior: burgundy +
Burgundy-colored kitchens, photos of which are presented in this article in a wide variety, sometimes amaze with the variety of color combinations that can look very good in them. Let's list the main ones.
White
A white and burgundy kitchen is an excellent option for those who want to visually make the space wider and give it lightness and airiness. The white color in this case favorably emphasizes the richness, depth and versatility of burgundy.
You can use colors in the interior in different ways. It could be a completely burgundy kitchen against white walls, as in the photo.

Black
Burgundy + black is a duet with which you need to be especially careful, because a black and burgundy kitchen, if overdone, can look too gloomy. In addition, such a range will visually reduce the area of space, which will not be at all beneficial for those who have a kitchen that is already small.
To prevent such a development of events, use white and burgundy as the dominant shades in percentage terms, and leave black to a minimum.
A good example is a burgundy kitchen with a black countertop. It looks very luxurious and very elegant.

Grey
The combination of burgundy and gray is a special level of sophistication. After all, a burgundy and gray kitchen always looks very aristocratic. And if you decide to use both of these colors as your main colors, choose the lightest shade of gray, almost bordering on white. An abundance of other light details in the interior will also not be superfluous.

A dark burgundy kitchen, in which there are dark gray colors, should be decorated according to the same principle as black and burgundy. That is, dilute the space as much as possible with light shades.

Burgundy and milk cuisine is the most successful solution. It is better to choose warm shades of beige, since when using cold ones there is a risk that they will “kill” all the charm of burgundy.
The inclusion of such green shades as muted olive, green tea, light green into these interiors will look very original and at the same time quite calm.

Such bright colors in a duet with burgundy look very original. But it is very important to use them wisely so that it does not look tasteless. An excellent solution is to dilute the interior with beige and present orange in minimal accents. Their role can be played by a painting, a dish set, a vase, kitchen textiles, etc.

Color proportionality
Depending on the functionality of the room, designers recommend the dosage of this color. After all, a comfortable pastime depends not only on personal preferences. Sometimes even your favorite shade of burgundy can cause discomfort and negative psychological pressure if there is excess.
The total area of the room is of great importance - Bordeaux does not like small rooms. It is able to reduce space visually. Therefore, light colors are chosen as companions, reducing the overall drama of the color.
Will delight you with ideal, verified duets, with no room for error, with the following tones:
- subtle shades of beige;
- pearl and smoky gray;
- pure white;
- creamy, milky, champagne, any alternative modifications of white.
Black and white interiors come to life thanks to bright berry and fruit shades. A distinct finish will add contrast to this trio of mostly achromatic colors. Even the calm, muted tones of a burgundy wall will not allow the hallway or kitchen area to look boring if there are black and white tiles on the floor. But a predominant amount of dark color, without a sufficient share of light, will make the room gloomy.
Not every room can withstand the abundance of deep shades of French wine in the interior. Sometimes it makes more sense to choose one thing for expressive color: furniture instead of walls, or only small decorative objects, as is the case with a nursery. A table of the predominant use of color in specific rooms from the point of view of psychological comfort, regardless of cubic capacity, will help.
| Accent surface area | Large elements | Small accents | Predominant color | |
| Hall | + | + | + | — |
| Living room | + | + | + | + |
| Bedroom | + | + | + | — |
| Kitchen | + | + | + | — |

Correct lighting
The overall impression of the interior largely depends on the level of lighting in the kitchen. The cherry kitchen is made in dark shades, so the reflective ability of the surfaces does not exceed 15-20%. In this case, it is necessary to equip the room with a sufficient number of lamps.
There are a number of rules that will help achieve maximum effect.
- According to current standards, the amount of light in a living space must be at least 150 lux/m2. Knowing the kitchen area, it is easy to calculate the recommended minimum and add another 10-15%. The fact is that the abundance of light has a positive effect on mood, performance, and appetite, so you should not neglect it.
- The location of the window opening should be taken into account. If it is oriented north, then it is advisable to increase the brightness and number of lamps. And for rooms with windows facing south, they will need a little less.
- It is better to place light sources at different levels. A central chandelier is usually installed on the ceiling, and functional areas are equipped with local lamps.
- To highlight individual details, it is good to use decorative lighting.
- It is recommended to choose the design of the lampshades according to the interior style. This will help avoid disunity in design.
- Special devices (dimmers) designed to adjust brightness will allow you to adjust the illumination depending on the time of day as you wish.
Ceiling slots must be fixed in such a way as to follow the contours of the kitchen unit.
Burgundy classic
A burgundy kitchen, designed in a classic style, will look best against light walls. At the same time, it is better to make the facades of the set in rich wine tones. Gold-tone fittings will look great.

In this case, it is very important to create the right lighting system. These can be chandeliers and sconces with crystal in gilded and beige lampshades.

Choosing a floor covering
In theory, a white floor would look amazing in a situation like this. In fact, this color scheme is impractical, since any contamination will immediately be evident.
Designers recommend choosing flooring in beige, green or gray. A tile that matches the color of natural stone is ideal. Parquet or laminate is also appropriate.
High-tech Bordeaux
Burgundy kitchen in the interior, the color combination in this case allows you to play up the contrast of light colors and the mutedness of burgundy. To create the most appropriate bright contrast in this style, garnet shades are most often used and embodied in glossy surfaces. And if you make the base of the furniture and the floor in the same color, you will get an interesting “floating” effect.
Shades of juicy cherry will add futuristic notes to your kitchen design. Silver surfaces, including household appliances, look appropriate.
Such dark shades of gray, such as graphite and ash, will look beautiful in detail, in a duet with objects made of glass and chrome.

Best couple
Burgundy in the interior is used to occupying a dominant position, allowing other shades to only bask in the rays of their glory. In order not to make a mistake and choose the best company for this impressive color, you can use the following combinations tested by designers with other tones.
Burgundy and black
A gothic and gloomy combination of burgundy and black at first glance is suitable not only for the interior of a medieval castle, it may well exist in a modern apartment with certain conditions:
- all main areas of the room should be highlighted with artificial light;
- The presence of light-colored furniture and decorative elements is required;
- the ceiling should remain light;
- glossy surfaces are welcome.
Burgundy and white
This combination does not require additional recommendations; it is equally suitable for all rooms. White will allow burgundy to reveal itself in all its splendor without drawing attention to itself. In response, burgundy will gratefully emphasize the main advantages of white: purity and freshness.
