Design features
Any finishing requires a competent approach. When choosing a burgundy tone for wallpaper, it is worth considering some features of the room for which they are intended.
- Burgundy wallpaper should be used to decorate light rooms to avoid the feeling of a confined space.
- Drawings and patterns on the wallpaper will help make the burgundy color a little lighter.
- In a small room, burgundy wallpaper is best used to decorate individual zones.
- A contrasting white ceiling compensates for the lack of light.
What types are there?
A variety of materials makes it possible to complete the decoration in accordance with the chosen style.
Non-woven
This durable material is divided into two groups: wallpaper made entirely of non-woven fabric or coverings with a non-woven base. Those that are made entirely of non-woven fabric are used for further painting; such coverings have a textured surface. Wallpaper with a non-woven base is covered with an outer layer, most often vinyl or acrylic.

Vinyl
They are made using different technologies, which explains the variety of textures. There are four types of vinyl wallpaper: thick, foamed, smooth and silk-screen printing. Each of them has different characteristics and appearance.
Paper
A material with a low price and a wide variety of colors. Paper wallpaper allows air to pass through well, but also absorbs odors well. Their service life is not long-lasting, and the coating is not durable. In addition, paper sheets quickly lose their brightness in the sun and are almost impossible to clean when dirty in various ways.
Liquid
In essence, this is decorative plaster for interior decoration. Liquid wallpaper is sold as a dry mixture and is diluted in the required proportion with water or glue immediately before applying to the surface. The composition must be applied in one go to avoid overlapping layers. The main distinctive feature is seamless application to the wall.
Photo wallpaper
Photo printing is applied to various types of coatings. Wallpaper can be paper, non-woven, laminated or vinyl. The image can be of any complexity, based on the preferences of the buyer.
Textile
Made from different fibers, such as silk, linen, velor and others. The surface is beautiful, especially in burgundy color the whole charm of the textile fabric will be noticeable, however the fabric attracts dust well, which will require more attention to cleaning. Textile wallpaper is expensive, but this is compensated by the appearance, increased heat and sound insulation.
Design options and patterns
It would seem that such trifles as a pattern create the style of the house. Burgundy color is by its nature quite dark and saturated, patterns and designs can change the picture and make the design lighter and more interesting.
Monochrome
Monochrome burgundy wallpaper can be combined with other colors, thereby highlighting certain areas. As a rule, these are light shades.
When choosing plain wallpaper, the main emphasis will be on color.
Geometric pattern
Geometric patterns are suitable for decorating the walls of a modern room, the design can be Scandinavian, hi-tech, minimalism, modern and others. For the classics, straight stripes are an exception; they fit perfectly into an aristocratic interior.
With flowers
Flowers against a burgundy background will be especially luxurious, for example, large roses or peonies with gold inclusions. It is worth remembering that volumetric images and dark colors visually bring the wall closer and make the room space smaller. A small flower will take up less space against the general background.

3D photo wallpaper
A more creative approach to interior design. A 3D drawing will “give” the room additional volume due to three-dimensional printing. The applied image can be realistic and convey the smallest details or avant-garde and represent a unique work of art.
With gold patterns
Gold with a dark wine shade is certainly associated with luxury and charm. This combination will look especially beautiful on fabric and vinyl wallpaper silk-screen printing. The most suitable room for such a design would be a bedroom or a hall.
С monograms
Monograms can become part of a classic living room or bedroom. The combination of burgundy and ornate patterns creates an aristocratic atmosphere and will look better in spacious rooms.
How to combine with other colors?
An illiterate combination of colors can spoil the whole picture of the interior. Shades should be in harmony and create a single “duet”.
With gold
As already described above, the noble burgundy color is ideally combined with gold. The combination is royal, rich, suitable for a spacious room.

With beige
A warm palette will not be as provocative as a combination with gold. The beige tone will slightly lighten the dark burgundy color.

With gray
A stylish combination. The burgundy color in this case will become a bright accent on the gray background. The combination is suitable for a design with a modern direction.
With black
Both shades are dark, the combination will turn out gothic. It is better to use the combination in a room with large windows and plenty of daylight.
With blue
Dark shades can be “diluted” with a lighter tone, for example, in wallpaper or textile design. A rich combination can be used for partial decoration, for example, a niche in the wall.
With yellow
A truly warm autumn combination, a good option for a “northern” room. In the morning and evening light, the room will be enveloped in an incredible atmosphere.

Pink will add tenderness to the burgundy tone. The combination can be in the form of drawings, companion wallpapers or spectacular ombre.
Options for combining with other finishing materials
Combination with other materials provides more opportunities for creating a unique design.
Today, the use of companion wallpapers and natural materials in interior decoration is popular.
Wood
Dark red wallpaper will be a great companion for natural wood, the natural pattern of wood and its texture will look harmonious with the rich color of the wallpaper. If you need to make the room lighter, you can use wood painted in a light tone, but if you want to emphasize all the luxury of the materials, then it is enough to polish and varnish the surface.
Stone
Considering the high cost of natural stone, artificial materials can become an analogue, which will convey all the beauty of the wild material. The combination will be successful in the hallway or living room, and will also emphasize the atmosphere of a country house.
Brick
Brickwork can blend in with the color of the wallpaper or stand out in a contrasting color. This depends entirely on the style of the room and its lighting. Large windows and an abundance of light allow you to use red brick without worrying about the space. Painted light brick, on the contrary, will brighten the room.
Shades of burgundy in the interior
Burgundy does not have a light palette, all shades are rich, thick and saturated.

Ideas in different styles
The style of the interior is influenced not only by the color of the wallpaper, but also by the pattern and texture of the surface.

Examples of photos in the interior of rooms
When creating a design, many factors are taken into account. Lighting, overall palette, purpose of the room, style. With the right combination of all criteria, you will get a unique design that will delight the owner every day.

Tips for choosing a color for interior elements
It is important that all the interior elements are in harmony with each other, especially if such deep and dark colors are used in the design. Otherwise, you can get a completely tasteless design.
Curtains
Curtains can be a continuation of the walls, matching the color or pattern, or contrasting against the background of burgundy wallpaper, thereby visually enlarging the window. This technique will be especially noticeable with white curtains. You can also choose another bright tone for the curtains that is part of the pattern on the wallpaper or other interior items, for example, gold or blue.
Furniture
Burgundy wallpaper is a bold and dark shade enough that to prevent the room from becoming gloomy, you can lighten it up a bit with furniture, for example, a white sofa, a light kitchen set, or a bed with beige pastel bed linen or a headboard.
Ceiling
Even In a spacious apartment, beige wallpaper will “eat up” the space. A contrasting ceiling of white or beige color can compensate for this. Firstly, the room will become lighter, and the charm of the burgundy shade will be noticeable, and secondly, the ceiling will seem higher than it is.
Floor
A wooden floor will be a great companion for burgundy wallpaper; it can be natural wood parquet or natural-colored laminate. For the bedroom, you can choose light carpet or a beautiful rug, and a marble floor will look spectacular in an open living room.
