Try adding velvety cushions, luxurious wool blankets and plush rugs that accentuate the depth and warmth of the burgundy. In this way, you can create layers in the space, which makes the interior even more attractive and cozy.
When the burgundy shade is combined with natural materials such as wood or metal such as silver, brass or copper, the end result is a sophisticated and timeless look.
The warmth of dark wood emphasizes the intensity of burgundy, while lighter woods such as oak bring lightness and freshness to the space.
