Burgundy is a rich shade of active red that always attracts special attention. A thoughtful interior in similar colors will demonstrate the high income and refined taste of the owner. However, you should not overuse burgundy: when working with this shade, it is important to find a balance. It is also worth considering that such an active tone will not be appropriate in every room. For example, for the bedroom and nursery it is better to choose a calmer and more delicate palette. In the kitchen or dining area, a bar can cause harm by provoking excessive appetite.
In addition to the combination with the functionality of the space, when working with such a complex and deep color, it is also worth considering the issue of combinations with other colors and interior styles.
Color meaning for each style
A variety of shades are used in well-known, recognizable styles, time-tested, such as classics and art deco. The color of an exquisite burgundy will emphasize the good taste of the owners. The matte finish will make the interior deep. The combination of red and brown gives the desired shade, which is quite common in historical styles such as baroque and country.
Carpet in the living room with fireplace
Now some solutions are based on an individual approach. The burgundy color, which has some traditionality and stereotyping, emphasizes bold interiors, creating beautiful eclectic, non-standard solutions, fashionable fusion with notes of ethno-style. With the white paint of a modern style and the industrial brick of a loft, burgundy elements wonderfully exist, becoming expressive art objects:
- tapestries;
- country style textiles;
- silky carpets with recognizable oriental patterns;
- abstract painting.
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.

Bordeaux in detail
For all its nobility and charm, the burgundy shade has several nuances that are worth remembering when trusting it with your interior:
- This color is recommended to be used in doses. Especially in living rooms. Bordeaux is a shade of red, although more calm and sophisticated. In large quantities, it can have an impact on the psyche, so it is necessary to neutralize the pressure with the help of light colors.
- A lover of pomp and solemnity, burgundy is not used to being crowded into small spaces, visually making the size of the space even more modest. It is better to introduce this color into a small room only as an accent, diluting the light palette.
- It is worth remembering burgundy’s love for light, both natural and artificial. Since the shade has the ability to absorb light, the room must have a sufficient number of lighting fixtures.
Burgundy wallpaper
A languid wine color is suitable for painting the walls of a fairly spacious and bright room. If it seems that burgundy will “eat up” too much space, you can give it only one wall, choosing the shade as an accent rather than the main color. Burgundy is endowed with a unique set of qualities: it gives the room solemnity and at the same time promotes concentration and induces creativity. Therefore, burgundy wallpaper will best fit into the interior of a living room or office.
Wallpapers of this shade with classic patterns, floral patterns in the Art Nouveau spirit or Art Deco graphics look impressive and elegant. Another wallpaper decor option is inspired by the classic design of the last century: a gallery of photos, paintings, portraits, mirrors and sconces on a plain burgundy surface.
Burgundy ceiling
A burgundy ceiling is a rather risky decision that needs to be approached correctly. Firstly, the ceiling must be high enough, otherwise it will visually exert pressure. To make the burgundy ceiling not “fall” on the residents, but “soar”, you can make its surface glossy and well illuminated. Secondly, not every room is suitable for implementing this extravagant idea: for example, in a bedroom it will quickly turn from a highlight into a flaw.
Burgundy floor
The burgundy-colored floor automatically adapts to the design of the entire room. The shade of the furniture should not be allowed to repeat the color of the floor covering; ideally, you should give preference to furnishings in light colors. Just as the red carpet obliges you to strictly adhere to the dress code, the red floor forces you to carefully think through the remaining details of the interior.
Burgundy curtains
Curtains in the color of ripe cherry or Burgundy wine are also a dominant interior detail that requires support. A fabric that combines a burgundy shade with gold braid or patterns in light colors is suitable for the living room, and blackout curtains, plain or with dark decor, are designed for the bedroom. Their light-proof fabric will prevent the sun's rays from disturbing the residents' sleep. It is important to complement the curtains with light tulle so that the atmosphere does not seem gloomy.
Burgundy carpet in the interior
Perhaps burgundy is the traditional carpet color. Today, in addition to the familiar Persian ornament, designers offer a lot of options for design and placement of the carpet in the interior. It can be plain or printed, with long or short pile, cover the floor almost completely or zone the room, emphasizing a certain area.
Burgundy furniture in the interior
When choosing burgundy furniture, you should follow the same rules as in other cases of using this shade in the interior. If burgundy is chosen as the main tone of the furniture, then it is advisable to make all other details light, with the exception of the interior of the study. If wine-colored objects play the role of accents, for example, a bright sofa or armchair, then the rest of the design depends on the prevailing style.
Luxury living room
Burgundy easily takes on a representative function in the interior, because it is associated with solemnity and well-being, which is so appropriate for the main room of the house.
The design of the living room will only benefit from a combination of deep burgundy shades with all the classic design techniques, styles with expressive decor:
- stucco, carving;
- patina, gilding in decoration, ornaments;
- furniture groups made of solid dark wood;
- mirrors, crystal, luxury glass;
- silky, fleecy fabrics for upholstery and drapery;
- textile wallpaper with noble patterns on a burgundy background.
Creating an environment of special scope in the art deco style, bohemian, spectacular is not a problem. But a living room with garnet and ruby walls, painted with matte paint or covered with wallpaper, may well look not like a formal hall, but a cozy and modern space.
A smooth white ceiling and bleached wood floor will perfectly balance the rich walls. Simple lines, geometric shapes of light furniture - for a comfortable, calm living room interior. Adding black in minimal quantities will add elegance.
Advice. High ceilings and sufficiently varied lighting are the key to the effective use of wine shades for walls.

Bedroom: delicate and different
Any bedroom will become absolutely luxurious if you add burgundy color to its interior. A particularly refined and attractive, sometimes somewhat romantic look is given by:
- Tandems with soft pink accents, pastel shades of background surfaces.
- Modern bed models are completely covered with textiles for special tenderness and softness of the main bed, and natural fabrics of the sleeping area will enhance the effect of warmth due to deep garnet and wine shades.
- The combination of details in the designer pieces of furniture is simply off the scale: painted wooden legs in dark burgundy, upholstery made of boudoir fabrics.
- Luxurious fabrics - velor, plush work well in burgundy, and beige, black, gold can serve as a contrasting edging and be used for ornaments and patterns.
- Lancet niches, majestic headboard, blue and burgundy - adapted oriental chic of the bedroom.
- A softer, dusty shade of burgundy is suitable for a vintage bedroom design.
The passion of the East and the tenderness of marshmallow are not suitable for everyone. Against the backdrop of a rich, solid wine-red wall, a gray bed of a laconic shape with the addition of black accents in the bedroom design will add brutality to the interior. Fashionable urban motifs can be easily supported with the help of burgundy color in the interior of the entire space of the apartment, which claims to be an original solution with pronounced energy.
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.

Brutal character
A room made in a “masculine” style cannot do without color accents when such modern materials and strong techniques are used:
- worn brickwork;
- raw concrete;
- rough skin;
- metal elements;
- technogenic lamps.
Burgundy, along with emerald green and dark blue, will support the idea, giving the room a calm, seasoned look, but with individual accents, looking especially impressive against the background of neutral colors. It is not necessary to design the entire living space in such a brutal, urban style.
The office is considered male territory: if the classic design does not seem relevant, then the latest trends will fully express the mood. The modern look suggests:
- monumental pieces of furniture - a sofa upholstered in burgundy leather;
- things with history, elements of industrial design;
- sharp corners, broken lines.
And of course, traditional shades are indispensable for the strict nature of the room, which serves as a library or study. A burgundy ceiling, perhaps a coffered ceiling, next to wooden panels, and noble striped wallpaper are even appropriate here. This will bring prosperity and increased comfort to the atmosphere.
Kitchen – cozy and modern
The presence of burgundy is justified from the point of view of the positive color effect on the nervous system and appetite. But the small kitchen area will be a serious obstacle to implementation. A completely dark burgundy set, even against the background of light walls and ceiling, will make an overwhelming impression in a miniature kitchen space.
If you don’t want to limit yourself to curtains or a kitchen apron, an alternative division will help:
- the light top is not radically white, but its “gastronomic” variations: milk, vanilla, creamy.
- lower moderate wine-red tier on porcelain stoneware or light-colored wood floors.
- marble with cherry veining for finishing suitable surfaces.
- lack of decor on the facades, minimalism in details.
Advice. All glass elements and white splashback tiles will add lightness, regardless of style.
Kitchen sets are capable of independently expressing an idea. It is important how the burgundy color is applied - painted solid wood, matte or glossy MDF. The most popular modern solutions love bright, bold variations:
- A combination of burgundy facades and metal elements, frame models made of light aluminum, fittings and small household appliances for high-tech.
- Strict lines of minimalism and a bright shade (garnet) on a snow-white background.
- Glossy colored fronts with black elements of innovative household appliances - for a modern style that transforms the kitchen from a place of culinary accomplishments into a living space.

Let's look at the shortcomings. Since burgundy is more of a dark shade, visually a room decorated in this color seems smaller than it actually is. That is, it is better not to use it in small kitchens. But the details will be quite appropriate. At the same time, it is important not to combine them with other similar dark shades, so as not to make the space too gloomy. After all, in this case, you are unlikely to be comfortable in it.

Spectacular bathroom
The logical combination of burgundy color in the interior of even a small bathroom with white sanitary ware is successfully played out; it can be quite bright and contrasting, which is conveyed even in the photo. The limited time spent in the “wet zone” allows you to create a catchy design that won’t get boring.
Colorful oriental or calm classic - the bathroom will definitely sparkle with new colors, because in addition to tiles, as the most common solution, the following will come to the rescue:
- wooden surfaces or tiles with imitation flooring;
- porcelain, enamel elements;
- a sufficient number of mirrors.
Adding blue pigments to burgundy allows the shade to become cooler. It works great in combination with silver, chromed metal, if you don’t like gold for functional bathroom decoration (soap dishes, towel holders) and plumbing components, it seems pretentious.
The main condition is a diverse lighting scenario. It will prevent you from looking gloomy in the morning, enhancing the notes of invigorating red in a complex color, and in the evening it will create a relaxing atmosphere with a touch of luxury in this area.
Burgundy color of the dress. Who suits a burgundy dress and what to wear it with, fashionable images
The burgundy women's dress is a fashion trend of the season, which for many has already become a classic item in the wardrobe. Color adorns a girl of any color type of appearance, allowing her to create an image that is romantic, feminine and sexy, but at the same time discreet and elegant. Designers produce hundreds of options for burgundy dresses, and any girl can easily choose the ideal model for herself.
Burgundy color, or as it is also called wine, bordeaux or burgundy, is obtained by mixing brown and red tones. It got its name because of its similarity to a noble alcoholic drink. The wine tone gained popularity in the 19th century.
In paintings and frescoes you can see that most of the famous royalty are dressed in clothes of this particular color. The character of burgundy has not changed to this day - people associate it with nobility, restraint, endurance and high social status. Every year, dresses in burgundy color appear at fashion shows, and its popularity does not subside.
But, of course, to find your perfect dress, you need to try. First of all, the type of figure is taken into account, depending on it they are based on the choice of style.
The apple figure has a pronounced bust and a prominent tummy. Therefore, the dress should not emphasize these parts of the body. Tightening models will not work - visually they will turn into a big red ball. Therefore, for an apple, the most restrained styles are suitable, straight, creating the correct proportions of the figure.
A pear is narrow and beautiful arms, miniature breasts, but, alas, large hips. That's why they are hidden in the first place. The most suitable model, according to designers, is considered to be trapezoidal, which hides extra centimeters in the hip area.
The triangle figure represents wide shoulders and a narrow pelvis. To bring the proportions closer to ideal, a visual expansion of the hip area is required. Dresses in the tulip style, with folds and pleating, are perfect.
Hourglass
The hourglass is considered the ideal female figure, with equal hips and bust, and a thin waist. It is these girls who can recommend popular tight models.
Style options
Office
An office dress has a strict silhouette, midi length and a closed neckline. It is important that the fabric for the office dress also matches the situation. Cotton or linen options are not allowed, although they seem practical. The problem is that when sitting for a long time, which inevitably occurs when doing office work, unsightly creases appear.
Knitwear, artificial materials, wool are suitable.
Long noodle dress
Popular trendy item of the season. Suitable for any body type, as the flowing material hides imperfections in appearance. With the help of a competent selection of accessories, areas of the female body are emphasized.
T-shirt dress
A universal option for the summer, which gives complete freedom of action. The dress looks like an elongated tank top. Alas, it emphasizes the features of the figure, so it is better to wear it for those who do not have extra pounds and are confident in themselves.
Dress shirt
An excellent option for hiding extra centimeters in the waist and hips. The shirt visually elongates the silhouette due to the straight lines of the cut, and if the fabric has vertical stripes or asymmetrical details, the effect will be greater.
Evening
A trendy item is a burgundy dress with a slit on the back. Various breast pads are sold that will keep them in excellent condition even without a bra. Evening dresses are made of satin, chiffon, silk, decorated with sequins, openwork inserts, and beads. There are no limits to the imagination of designers. If you want to surprise everyone at a special event, then preference should be given to a maxi length model.
With lace
A burgundy dress with lace is a great option for a date. Lace is usually used to decorate the bust area, sleeves, back or hem of the product. But there are more interesting options when lace in different styles is combined with each other and creates a fancy pattern.
To the floor
This is the outfit of a real lady who wants to amaze everyone with her appearance. The trend is for models with a slit on the side or in the middle, which exposes graceful legs. Naturally, complete the outfit with sandals or stilettos. Models with an open back and traditional ones with a neckline are popular.
Alternative combinations
If in combinations with materials such as marble, wood, natural stone, metal, burgundy color manifests itself in all its glory, then not everything is so simple with contrasting colors. Only informed decisions and moderation will make it possible to make burgundy friends with other representatives of the color palette.
Designers do not use purple as a companion, and with caution, in doses:
- Herbal green. The best shade is natural greenery, and in its natural form: 2-3 beautiful plants, small decor.
- Olive. Moderate application will highlight and aesthetically calm the brightness of dark reds.
- Citric. Current shades of yellow will add positivity.
- Blue. Cool tones, with the addition of notes of gray and turquoise, will allow the fashionable color trend - Marsala - to appear in an advantageous light.
Even if burgundy colors are your favorite, using them only for decorative components of the design will remove the color load - paintings, posters, carpets, sofa cushions. Small accents will liven up a room, and using accessories that are easy to replace will help you safely use color, making your home look stylish without any doubt or hesitation.
Burgundy in the interior is a very purposeful color, combining the energy of red and the naturalness of brown. It will not allow the interior to look boring. And it will never be gloomy if you choose the right environment from spectacular materials and harmonious colors.
