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

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.
