How to Paint a Room With Burgundy Leather Furniture

In a room where you have eye-catching burgundy leather furniture, you will want to select paint that allows the furniture to pop. The rich color of burgundy can overwhelm a smaller room, so it is important to select a paint that makes the room feel more open and airy. When preparing to paint the room where you feature this stunning furniture set, the choice of a main wall color and accent color is important to ensure the room has a cohesive feel.

Instructions

    • 1

      Layer a neutral color on the walls of the room to ensure the burgundy furniture stands out and that the room doesn't seem to busy. Use soft shades like taupe or eggshell. For a luxe look that makes a bold statement, opt for gold, which will offset burgundy in a pleasing way.

      Use either paint or wood stain for any molding or trim in the room. You can carry over the same neutral color from the wall or incorporate a dark cherry stain that ties in with the furniture.

    • 3

      Cover the prized burgundy leather furniture in the room or have it removed during the painting process to protect it from accidental spills.

      Use a stencil on one wall to create a burgundy accent. By using a splash of burgundy paint on the neutral wall, you tie the room together without being overwhelmed with burgundy. If you don't like the look of the stencil, paint one wall or the ceiling in a burgundy shade to liven up the room.
