Avoid ’90s-Era Styling

Weve seen burgundy before.

Who can forget dining rooms and mahogany-furnished studies drenched in the hue?

But take a step back and burgundy can portray a different aesthetic entirely.

Use Moderately

Sometimes when we find something we love, it can be hard not to go all in.

It takes self-control, but burgundy is a color that deserves a subtle hand.

Even when it comes to paint, simple nuances can make all the difference.

Utilize Your Accessories

You dont have to go big to jump on the burgundy bandwagon.

Pillows can easily be mixed into a seating area to help warm up the space, she says.

For imparting a color splash while making a statement, Haude suggests considering art that incorporates the hue.

It can skew modern or traditional, take on a bold role, or one that is more subdued.

Consider it a defining element to help further your aesthetic.

Balance with Neutrals

Bold colorscan sometimes be tricky when it comes to finding a color companion.

As for burgundy, striking the right balance is key.

Tempering the boldness of burgundy with lighter, creamy colors that err more neutral provide for a subdued effect.

Another counterpart would be found in the gray spectrumfrom silver to a dark charcoal.

Choose Your Space

Determining which space is deserving of the burgundy treatment can be a challenge.

Here are a few things to think about:

Determine how the space will be used and how often.

What is the vibe you’re aiming to achieve?

Consider a space that is communal.

Communal rooms like kitchens, living rooms, and dining rooms can handle the fiery hue.
