Burgundy is Back — And It's Taking Over Interiors

From the runways of autumn fashion to the pages of every design magazine, one colour is making a confident comeback this year: burgundy.

This rich, grapevine-inspired tone is turning heads for all the right reasons. It’s bold, it’s warm, and let’s be honest—there’s something undeniably sexy about it. Whether it’s the velvety depth of a burgundy coat on the catwalk or the unexpected drama of a burgundy sofa in a minimalist home, this shade is having a serious moment.

So, why burgundy and why now?

In times where comfort and cocooning are a priority, burgundy delivers that perfect hit of warmth and sophistication. It feels rooted in nature, like autumn leaves or a glass of robust red wine by the fire. Yet at the same time, it’s got a moody, luxe edge that makes a space feel elevated. Think of it as the more mature, refined cousin of millennial pink and terracotta—still playful, but far more grounded.

How to use it in interiors:

• Pair it with warm neutrals like sand, oatmeal or nude for a soft, harmonious palette.

• For something bolder, team burgundy with cooler tones like slate blue or sage green to add contrast and depth.

• Want drama? Combine it with deep maroons, black accents or metallics (especially brass) to create a sultry, opulent vibe.

  
  

It’s showing up in textiles—velvet cushions, heavy drapes, rich rugs—as well as paint, cabinetry, and even small decor pieces like ceramics and glassware. The beauty of burgundy is its versatility: it works across styles, from classic to contemporary, boho to luxe.

Burgundy is the unexpected hero of this year. It’s comforting without being boring, and daring without being overwhelming. Whether you're ready to fully commit or just want to dip your toe in with some soft furnishings, this is one colour that will instantly bring warmth, depth, and style to any space.
