Burgundy Combinations: 15 Perfect Matches for Your Palette in 2025

Burgundy, once synonymous with drab school uniforms, has now taken the design world by storm! This rich, deep hue is a go-to for interior designers seeking versatility in their color choices. So, let's dive into some kickass pairings for burgundy that'll make your home pop!

Burgundy and Caramel Toffee tones create an opulent, earthy look when paired with burgundy. "This elegant hue works particularly well with earthy tones such as beige, taupe or caramel to create a feeling of rustic warmth," says Helen Shaw, a color expert from Benjamin Moore. Opt for a matte finish to soften the bold color and elevate your space with brushed brass accents.
Burgundy and Light Blue Light blue makes a lovely contrast to burgundy that's not as stark as white. Sitting opposite each other on the color wheel, the pairing creates a pleasing balance.
Burgundy and Lime This combo might surprise you, but the contrast between lime and burgundy creates a dynamic aesthetic that'll liven up any room. "Lime green delivers an unexpected yet exciting pairing with rich burgundy colors, creating a bold contrast that injects energy and liveliness into a space," explains Little Greene's Ruth Mottershead.
Burgundy and Navy While both bold and saturated tones, burgundy is a color that goes with blue, particularly in its most royal shade. The two tones can wonderfully offset each other and create a vibrant interior.
Burgundy and Cream "Burgundy and cream is a timeless and elegant pairing that brings a sense of warmth and sophistication to interiors," says Ruth Mottershead. Deep, luxurious shades of burgundy add richness and drama, while cream introduces softness and light.
Burgundy and Dusty Pink If you're decorating with pastels like soft, dusty pinks, a good way to ensure your scheme still feels grown-up is to bring in grounding colors to balance it. In this kitchen by deVOL, an earthy burgundy picks up the same undertones of the subtle pink walls while anchoring the room.
Burgundy and Black A black and burgundy palette ups the drama in a space. "The beauty of burgundy is it has a very interesting range of variations - from brown undertones to plums with more of a rosy purple feel to it," says Canadian-based interior designer Jane Lockhart. "There is also a 'blackened' burgundy where the color is super saturated with black, which can make an excellent alternative to blue-based blacks and gives a warmer, more luxurious feel."
Burgundy and Terracotta You can really highlight the red undertones of burgundy by pairing it with a subdued orange like terracotta, creating a sense of warmth in a space.
Burgundy and Brown And that's all the browns, from caramels to tans, deep timber tones, and even brassy bronzes. It forms the perfect backdrop in this bedroom by Meet West, making burgundy feel like you're decorating with earth tones.
Burgundy and Beige "Being a deep jewel tone, burgundy can be quite a moody color by itself," says Fanny Abbes, creative director and founder of NYC-based firm The New Design Project. And while white can be quite a stark contrast, light, dusty tones like beige provide a nice balance.
Burgundy and Bright Pink While we've already established that burgundy is a color that goes with soft pinks, it also has the inherent energy to balance more out-there shades, like hot pink.
Burgundy and Red Sitting somewhere in the realm of a deep red on the color wheel, it should come as no surprise that it's one of the colors that goes with red in all its shades.
Burgundy and Green When thinking about what colors go with green, according to color theory and the color wheel, burgundy is one of the best. Opting for a dark tone of green - like a deep, muddy olive green - can work well as a combination, reminding us of nature and grounding the space.
Burgundy and Gold A deep-toned burgundy has an inherent royal, rich, and sophisticated sensibility. An easy way to amp this up is to add metallic accents, like silver and gold.
Burgundy and Yellow For an interior that is immediately striking and color-rich, consider a triadic scheme (or the 60-30-10 rule). This means combining three colors on the color wheel, for example: burgundy, navy blue, and mustard yellow. Together, these tones can give life to a staid space and inject a fun energy.

In the world of interior design, burgundy finds itself paired with a variety of colors to create captivating and dynamic spaces. Burgundy and caramel combine for an opulent earthy look, while light blue offers a softer contrast that's not as stark as white. Lime green, an unexpected pairing, injects energy and liveliness into rooms with the rich burgundy. Burgundy and navy, two bold tones, work wonderfully together, especially in their royal shades. Cream and burgundy offer a timeless and elegant pairing, balancing richness with softness.

In the realm of decor, dusty pink and burgundy create a balanced and grown-up scheme, while black and burgundy add drama to a space. Burgundy and terracotta highlighter the red undertones, creating warmth, and when paired with brown, it feels like decorating with earth tones. For a moody, yet balanced color scheme, burgundy and beige are a stellar combination.

Burgundy also goes well with bright pink, hot pink, red, deep green, and even metallic shades such as gold. In terms of trending lifestyles, fashion-and-beauty, food-and-drink, and home-and-garden, burgundy can add depth, luxury, and warmth to any room, making it the perfect trendy color choice.
