The Burgundy Trend
written by Marc SpowartÂ

Like most good red wines, a well considered interior should be full bodied and well-balanced.Â
It cannot be denied that the âunexpected pop of redâ has dominated the colour trends of this year, but for those of us who arenât brave enough to be so vibrant and daring, then look no further than its understated and mature cousin, burgundy.Â
If youâve noticed a resurgence of deep, rich tones filling the pages of design magazines and your Instagram feeds, you are not alone. The colour wine, or burgundy as itâs often called, is making a bold comeback. This alluring shade, reminiscent of your favourite glass of red, is taking centre stage as go-to for those looking to add a touch of richness and elegance to their home.Â
Unlike brighter reds, burgundy has a grounded and earthy quality that makes it versatile enough for design styles both new and old. It is also a colour that has been used in design for centuries, from the grandest of castles to the cosiest of cottages - itâs ability to convey both warmth and sophistication makes it a timeless and flexible choice that can enhance a variety of spaces.Â

Enfold Sideboard - Muuto
The lacquered steel and solid oak of the Enfold make it an ideal choice for lovers of the minimal and contemporary; but instead of the grey, black or green, why not opt for the deep red. It warms up the cold steel doors and makes it a more inviting piece for your home.

Chisel Lounge Chair - HAY
A bordeaux lacquered chair to sit and enjoy a glass of your favourite bordeaux - what could possibly be better? The Chisel Lounge Chair in Bordeaux is a perfect addition to a corner in need of cosiness, or to accompany your sofa in a living area. It is also available with an upholstered seat in a complimentary fabric making it a monochromatic moment.

PH5 Pendant - Louis Poulsen
If youâre not feeling too adventurous to commit to the colour in a larger piece, then consider lighting. For example, Louis Poulsenâs classic PH5 pendant is now available in a Monochrome Burgundy colourway, giving a new elevated look to the design icon. Â

Paint Colours to Ponder..
Another way to introduce burgundy into your home is with a lick of paint. Whether itâs on the ceiling, one wall or colour drenching the entire room. Take a look at some of our wine hued picks for your next wall colour;Â Â Â
