Trend #12: Burgundy and Blush
Monochromatic saturation is a daring design technique that involves layering different intensities of a single hue family to achieve profound intimacy. Burgundy is a heavy, wine-soaked color that anchors a room with historic gravity.
Blush provides a delicate, airy contrast that prevents the dark red tones from feeling claustrophobic. By pairing these two extremes from the red spectrum, designers create an immersive, romantic environment that feels simultaneously modern and deeply traditional.
Execute this dramatic aesthetic by painting your walls in a soft, barely-there blush pink. The light walls will reflect a flattering glow throughout the space. Contrast this lightness with heavy, monolithic burgundy interventions.
A deep burgundy velvet modular sofa serves as a breathtaking focal point, especially when paired with high-gloss burgundy lacquered accent tables. Incorporate heavily veined Calacatta Viola marble—which naturally features deep purple and burgundy veining—on your fireplace surround to seamlessly tie the contrasting shades together.
