Burgundy: Living and decorating with the trendy wine red

Depth, elegance, and warmth – burgundy is currently not only shaping fashion but is also ubiquitous in interior design. Whether used as an accent or applied over a large area, this dark wine red is versatile and creates a cozy, sophisticated atmosphere. We'll show you how to integrate this trendy color into your home.

This is how the trendy color looks in the home.

It's considered the "new neutral" in the world of color: Burgundy, named after the famous wine from Burgundy, exudes a pleasing blend of subtle drama, comfort, and modern elegance. The rich red hue feels warm and inviting without being overpowering. Especially during the darker months and the Advent season, the color creates a sense of coziness. But Burgundy will also set the tone in the coming spring and summer – after all, renowned fashion brands like Gucci, Bottega Veneta, and Chloé have already featured the trend color prominently in their Spring/Summer 2025 collections.

Colorful furniture in trendy burgundy red

Bold design enthusiasts can now dare to be different, not only in fashion but also in their own homes: A sofa in burgundy, for example, is a real highlight in any interior, instantly drawing attention. The color looks particularly elegant and timeless on velvet or velour. Upholstered chairs, armchairs, or stools in this trendy color are also a great way to incorporate burgundy subtly yet effectively into your home. Those who aren't quite ready to commit to large pieces of furniture in this color can start with smaller items, such as side tables or poufs. Tip: Burgundy looks especially harmonious when combined with light, neutral colors like cream or beige.

Add accents with red accessories and decorations.

Accessories are the easiest way to bring burgundy into your living space without painting the walls or buying large pieces of furniture. Candle holders, vases, or picture frames in burgundy add a special touch to rooms and look good year-round.

Burgundy-colored textiles provide warmth and coziness.

Whether cushions, throws, or bedding – textiles in this trendy color bring coziness and add attractive pops of color. Curtains in burgundy or large rugs with burgundy patterns also work well in any interior design style and add that certain something, even to a minimalist home, without being overwhelming with color.

Burgundy-colored lights as a highlight

A burgundy table or pendant lamp not only brings light into the darkness but also adds a splash of color to the room. Combined with chrome, brass, or gold details, lamps in this color appear luxurious and modern. Table and ceiling lamps with matte finishes are particularly elegant, emphasizing the velvety, warm character of burgundy. They can be integrated into both understated and opulent interior design styles.

Combine burgundy with other colors.

This trendy color harmonizes beautifully with different shades, depending on the style you want to achieve. Combined with natural materials like wood, stone, or linen, it quickly creates a cozy country-house atmosphere. Burgundy pairs particularly well with neutral tones such as white, cream, or gray. For a more dramatic look, opt for contrasts with dark green or black. Contrasting colors like mustard yellow add further pops. For a modern, fresh touch, try combining it with soft pastel shades like rose or peach.

Burgundy as a wall color? Yes, but in the right amount.

Walls painted in burgundy create an intimate, warm atmosphere – especially in rooms with plenty of natural light. To balance the rich hue, furniture and decor should be chosen carefully. For example, an accent wall in burgundy can be combined with cream-colored furniture or shimmering accents to stylishly balance the room. Those who want to go all-in can pair the bold red with dark furniture and heavy materials such as dark wood or marble.

For smaller rooms, it is advisable to use the color only in certain areas – for example, in a wall niche or behind a bookshelf. Half-height wall panels are also very effective, but do not make the room feel cramped when combined with light wall and ceiling colors.
