A skillful combination of colors that suit you best will help give your look a special elegance and sophistication. However, not everyone has been endowed by nature with the correct color perception and subtle artistic taste, which helps to successfully combine color ensembles in your wardrobe.
In the new season of 2013, rich burgundy or burgundy has become incredibly popular. Leading designers such as Valentino, Fendi, Ralph Lauren and many others presented this color in key positions in their collections. And all because the burgundy color with its multifaceted shades is considered energetically strong and royally luxurious. That is why every self-respecting woman needs to learn how to “carry” burgundy correctly, that is, know what the burgundy color goes with.

Carmine, lingonberry, ripe cherry, Bismarck furioso... Do you think I'm crazy? No, these are just shades of burgundy, rich and bright, muted and deep, fierce and cozy. I couldn’t pass by this color also because it took over everything, becoming the main shade of 2015 according to the Pantone Institute. So, let's figure out what burgundy color goes with in the interior.
Perhaps it’s worth starting with the fact that burgundy is a rather specific color. Being a symbiosis of red and brown, on the one hand it gives comfort, and on the other hand it kindles passion.
Brown, with its inherent monumentality, carries traditionality and confidence, but in large quantities can cause fatigue.
Red is life, burning fire, youth and love. It is emotionally strong, stimulates vigorous activity, and excites imagination.
Burgundy conveys to the interior the qualities inherent in red, but does it more softly.
Rooms in burgundy tones look rich and impressive, their atmosphere is filled with luxury and solemnity. The interior is characterized by “maturity”, solidity, and the absence of youthful enthusiasm.
I consider the main allies of burgundy to be white, beige, cream, milky and light gray.
But these are not all color duets.

She greets us first and forms an impression of the owner. In most typical apartments, hallways and corridors do not have an abundance of natural light and space, so choose a rich burgundy color only for decoration.
This can be a comfortable soft ottoman or a floor mat. For such a small space this will be enough.
In such a room, burgundy can be given all the reins. If the area of the room is small enough, choose burgundy to decorate the accent wall; both wallpaper and textured plaster will look equally attractive.
Burgundy accessories, such as lampshades, carpeting, bedspreads, window textiles and furniture upholstery, will help bring the interior together.
The use of burgundy in a nursery is a controversial issue, causing a lot of discussion. I would not recommend painting in dark color large areas (walls, ceiling, large furniture), make a choice in favor of accent use in decor, lighting or textiles.
An excellent alternative for a nursery could be a shade of strawberry jelly, matte and diffused. As a complement, use light green and turquoise.
Burgundy goes well with white in the Provence style. If a little lady agrees to an abundance of ruffles and bows, why not?
Burgundy fills the bedroom with passion. It can be safely used in the design of bed headboards, window textiles, bedspreads and decorative pillows. Oh yes, night lights with burgundy lampshades will look great against pastel walls.
If you plan to combine burgundy with white, use the principle of horizontal division.
In this case, a dark shade is used in the lower part of the room, a light shade in the upper part.
Burgundy color in the bathroom requires a careful approach to choosing style and accessories. If you don't plan to limit yourself to a couple of burgundy towels or a rug, choose a classic style that involves the use of natural materials.
Combine burgundy with chrome bathroom fixtures, massive mirror frames, and dark rattan wicker baskets.
And, of course, according to the good old tradition, I offer you several ready-made interior options in which burgundy was chosen as the accent color. Let's get started.
So, I saw an apartment in a house built in 1930, which looked more like a warehouse of junk and furniture, seasoned with a complete cacophony of styles.
The only thing that gave me hope for a bright future were two huge windows overlooking the old center of Rome.
The main wish of the housewife is a partial unification of the kitchen and living room, which would not expose the kitchen chaos. It was for this purpose that a double-sided bookcase was installed.
For color zoning, a burgundy color was chosen, which very well matches the red suspended ceiling.
The living room has a comfortable sofa and a gigantic wardrobe filled with books and magazines.
The burgundy theme continued in the bedroom; above the bed there was an interesting lingonberry-colored shelf, and on the bed there was a bedspread with an ornament.
The bedroom is separated from the living room by a sliding door, which does not take up extra space when solving the issue of privacy.
A designer table and chair upholstered in painted fabric settled in the hallway.
Do you think that classical English style and Armenian folklore cannot exist within the same walls? You are wrong! And I will prove it to you now.
The main idea in the design was patchwork, combining textures and colors. The compositional center of the living room is a seven-meter fireplace, which in its entirety evokes the spirit of old England.
The main shades are ocher, scarlet, beech and mahogany, bottle and lingonberry. All this motley color fraternity is united by a floral print.
The decor of the fireplace uses a solar symbol and frieze elements from the Yerevan Opera.
But the tiles themselves were made in Gzhel.
The fireplace tiles are made in two shades - white and milky, due to this the surface does not look flat and shimmers a little.
For the kitchen set, I chose a complex red one, which I found in the catalog of the German factory Rational. Bright pops of color are balanced by light walls. The same combination of bottle green and red is used in the living room.
The suspended structure located above the kitchen island deserves special attention. Thanks to it, the space is balanced and the room does not “creep” upward. The walls are decorated with bright patchwork created from wallpaper with various floral patterns.
The flights of stairs are painted in the same bright color. Thanks to this, it was possible to beat the column, which was comfortably, but completely out of place, located at the entrance.

Everything that surrounds us influences mental condition, burgundy color will be no exception. In our minds does he recreate majestic historical paintings and heavy interiors? Why?
After all, it is considered the color of creative people, a color that awakens imagination. The thing is that this particular shade was most often used in creating castle interiors, hence the association.
By the way, the name of the shade itself was first used in the 18th century and originates from the French “bordeaux”, dark red.
Well, my cranberry-flavored burgundy opus is coming to an end. But before I call it a day, let me ask a question: how do you feel about the burgundy color scheme? Are you ready to let it into your home? Share your thoughts in the comments, but all I can do is offer you a very interesting video in this article.

“Burgundy is the color of French wine, ripe cherries, expensive roses - few can resist its splendor” (c)
The burgundy color is not included in the main palette, as it was made by mixing red with brown. Burgundy got its name in honor of one of the French wines called Bordeaux. From red, burgundy has adopted such qualities as energy, authority, determination, and from brown - masculinity, stability, and reliability.

IN modern world burgundy color is also associated with respectability and high position in society, therefore combination of burgundy color in clothes still relevant.
The depth and richness of burgundy color can look impressive, emphasize sensuality and passion, or it can also depress and suppress. In addition, burgundy has the ability to visually reduce, which makes it beautiful alternative option black color. Burgundy looks different on different textured materials: on matte materials it looks noble, consistent with the best classical traditions, on glossy ones it looks impressive, luxurious, and classy.
The burgundy color always serves as the center of attention; its powerful energy attracts the eye. A burgundy outfit will set you apart from others, emphasizing your irresistibility.
Of course, when describing a color, it is important to be able to not only perceive it individually, but also in combination with other colors. Various combinations allow you to add a special emotional color to your outfit and achieve the desired effect. Therefore, let's look at what colors combine harmoniously with burgundy.
The combination of burgundy and black has become a classic. This duo demonstrates restraint and practicality. True, there is a risk that such a combination may look too gloomy and inexpressive. In this case, it is recommended to add a third color to the ensemble, preferably white.
A more successful combination is burgundy and gray. But here you need to make a choice in favor of light shades of gray. Light gray will create the necessary contrast with deep burgundy. This combination looks stylish and modern, it has a certain charm.
Burgundy and white are a very bright combination. White color has the ability to highlight and emphasize the properties of its companion color. Therefore, against its background, burgundy looks even deeper and richer. Moreover, an ensemble where white and burgundy are taken in equal proportions will look impressive.
The combination of burgundy and blue is based on the contrasting properties of these colors: the passion and energy of burgundy and the calmness of blue. Therefore, these two colors successfully emphasize each other. If you take dark shades blue, their combination with burgundy looks restrained and noble. But the combination of burgundy with bright colors blue certainly looks stylish and impressive.
The combination of burgundy with beige, cream, and caramel looks elegant and sophisticated. The softness and delicacy of beige color is successfully combined with energetic burgundy. In general, the tandem of these two colors will emphasize your femininity, even if you are wearing an ensemble of a jacket and trousers.
Burgundy and yellow is a bright and bold combination, indicating an active leadership position. The highlight of this combination is that it is natural and natural, as it is often found in nature. Remember the autumn palette; at this time of year, nature is painted in burgundy and yellow tones.
Burgundy in combination with pink evokes associations with grace and tenderness. In combination with pink, burgundy looks less saturated. The conservatism of burgundy is softened by the lightness and romance of pink. If you choose light shades of pink, then they can be used in the ensemble in equal proportions with burgundy or even dominate it. But be careful with dark or rich shades of pink - let them play second fiddle in an ensemble with burgundy.
Luxurious and mature are suitable adjectives for an interior decorated in burgundy. The task of implementing an interior in this color is not easy and at the same time interesting. It can be used for living room, kitchen, bedroom or office. It wouldn’t hurt to study successful combinations and rules for using burgundy colors in different rooms. Decorating in burgundy will give you moments of amazement from the successful finds of color combinations.
The burgundy color is for strong-willed and thoughtful people who know the value of words and take theirs from life. It is not surprising that the wine color in the interior looks stable and deep - you want to look at it for a long time.
Burgundy is made from a mixture of blue and red, and for a warmer shade you need to add yellow. Thus, the burgundy palette has many of the qualities of the red palette, but it is calmer and less provocative. It is ideal for mature and stable people; it improves tone and concentration well, without producing the effect of overstimulation. This range is much softer and more delicate than purple, which is also a mixture of red and blue, but in a different proportion.
This is not a suitable color for ultra-modern modern and avant-garde styles, but ideal for classic and baroque. Elements of burgundy color can be present in country styles for the kitchen, as well as in the living room, decorated in minimalism or hi-tech.
If you choose this unique color, you will get a luxurious and representative interior. You just need to choose the right shade of burgundy and combine it with matching colors and choose accessories. From a wide palette from raspberry to dark wine, you can create an interesting design for the living room, kitchen and bedroom.
Burgundy color in the interior, in addition to moderation, requires a basic understanding of which color goes best with the burgundy palette. Everything here is a little non-standard - standard approaches may not work.
Bright and rich, the wine color is interesting in itself, which means it should be in the foreground. In the background:
Gold has a unique effect on burgundy interior, making it royally rich, wherever it is present - on wallpaper, furniture or curtains. Note that such interiors require large spacious rooms.
When decorating with rich wine tones, you need to know when to stop, especially for the bedroom. You don’t want to feel like you’re at a reception with the Prime Minister in your bedroom, do you? Then leave the burgundy wallpaper for the living room, and for the bedroom choose accessories of this range. You can afford rich burgundy curtains in the interior of a bedroom decorated in milky cream tones. Such curtains look very elegant together with delicate snow-white curtains made from the finest materials.
To balance the room, use some dark accents, such as mahogany in furniture details. If you add a few gold accents, the atmosphere of the bedroom will immediately acquire sublimity and nobility.
The living room is a room that can be decorated a little more formally than other rooms. The color burgundy in the interior of the living room will cope with this perfectly, no matter what shade you prefer. For heavily rich living rooms in Baroque and Venetian styles, you can dare to use burgundy wallpaper with gold patterns. This wallpaper looks regal, chic and sophisticated - a success guaranteed for this living room.
Keeping in mind the combination of other colors, choose the options:
But burgundy striped wallpaper looks too strict, however, it is good for an office or corridor. Burgundy color in the interior requires dazzling white dishes and carts, silver appliances and other luxury elements.
The burgundy color in the kitchen will help to play up the recently fashionable design trend - country or Provence. In such interiors, the burgundy shade goes well with an abundance of natural wood-colored furniture.
In this design, you can use the design of facades in burgundy tones, linen curtains and all kinds of accessories. Use yellow as a wall decoration, and your country kitchen will be very warm and pleasant.
For a Provence-style kitchen, use natural materials such as linen and cotton, which transform proud burgundy into a modest and pleasant shade. This amazing transformation from royal to western-rural is perfect for a spacious country-style kitchen.
Burgundy wallpaper with stripes or a regular pattern is ideal for an English-style office. This will allow you to create an impressive office that promotes mental activity.
Burgundy color in the bathroom interior is a privilege of exclusively stylish apartments. This color cannot be cheapened by low-quality plumbing fixtures. Great combination: muted burgundy tiles, a beautiful countertop sink and console with white wooden legs, a huge mirror and an olive rug. An olive shade will dilute the thickness of the colors, and if you want something extraordinary, then use a contrasting black and white duet.
For a children's room, such shades are too heavy, and therefore are not used for decoration.
The burgundy color is interesting and deep, just like the taste of aged wine; in the same way, too much of them will lead to a headache. Moderate use of burgundy along with light neutral tones will create a beautiful and stylish design any room. For connoisseurs of luxurious rooms in the Baroque style, royal wallpaper in burgundy colors is suitable. Decorating in burgundy color will force you to work hard to select successful combinations, but the resulting result will be beautiful.
