In the ever-evolving world of interior design, certain colours come and go, but some make a bold resurgence that captivates both designers and homeowners alike. One such colour is burgundy – a deep, rich hue that blends the earthy warmth of red with the sophistication of purple. The result is a colour that feels opulent, inviting, and timeless. As we move further into 2024, burgundy is having its moment, becoming a standout choice for those looking to create depth and drama in their living spaces.
Burgundy, named after the famous wine region in France, is a complex, full-bodied colour. It’s a deep reddish-brown shade, with undertones of plum and even a hint of black, giving it a sense of elegance and warmth. While it can be bold and striking, burgundy also has a subtle richness that makes it a versatile colour to work with in interiors, providing a sense of warmth and grounding.
As described by Kerrie-Ann Jones in her 2024 Interior Trends Forecast “deep burgundy is a current trend in fashion, which is filtering into interiors this year from French wash or deeply saturated painted walls to upholstery, bedding and rugs, this colour provides a grounding quality with its deep pigment.”
Whether you want to create a dramatic feature or add a subtle pop of colour through accessories, burgundy can be adapted to suit both traditional and contemporary styles. One of the easiest ways to incorporate burgundy into your interiors is through accent furniture, such as a statement chair or headboard. Pair it with neutral tones like cream, beige, or grey to let the colour shine, or layer it with other jewel tones for a luxurious, eclectic feel.
For a more subtle approach, burgundy can be added through soft furnishings like cushions, throws, or rugs. These small touches can introduce warmth and colour to a space without overwhelming it.
With this beautiful colour making its mark in interiors, burgundy is at the forefront of our Spring 2024 collection. We have added a variety of pieces in this stunning hue, including headboards, ottomans and armchairs. We look forward to seeing how our clients incorporate these beautiful new custom designed pieces into their property styling schemes.
