The Burgundy Trend
Like most good red wines, a well considered interior should be full bodied and well-balanced.
- Marc Spowart
It cannot be denied that the ‘unexpected pop of red’ has dominated the colour trends of this year, but for those of us who aren’t brave enough to be so vibrant and daring, then look no further than its understated and mature cousin, burgundy.
If you’ve 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 it’s 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.
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 - it’s ability to convey both warmth and sophistication makes it a timeless and flexible choice that can enhance a variety of spaces.
Browse some of our favourite pieces below that look dreamy in the burgundy palette;
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.
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.
If you’re not feeling too adventurous to commit to the colour in a larger piece, then consider lighting. For example, Louis Poulsen’s classic PH5 pendant is now available in a Monochrome Burgundy colourway, giving a new elevated look to the design icon.
Paint Colours to Ponder
Another way to introduce burgundy into your home is with a lick of paint. Whether it’s 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;
