Ideas for Decorating With Burgundy Sofas

Color Scheme

• Burgundy falls into the wine red family, making it a perfect pairing for any other wine colors or for a French countryside or Napa countryside aesthetic. Colors that naturally pair well include saffron, straw, butter yellow, taupe, oak and chocolate brown. While crimson or cranberry red might seem like a definite no, it can work with burgundy when paired with other wine tones.

Autumn Accents

• Burgundy also echoes fall colors, so you can work in autumn accents seasonally or year-round. Bring in fall foliage hues like yellow, tan, orangey red and gold. Incorporate fall symbols like mums, pumpkins and gourds for floral displays that will resonate with your sofas. Accent with rich natural woods for coffee tables and end tables. Even if you're not a floral person, rich autumn-hued curtains with gold tassels can make the living room feel full of energy.

Textiles

• Since burgundy is such a warm hue, it begs for inviting textures like silk, velvet or velour, or chenille. Accent pillows and throws in rich hues will make your sofas warm and welcoming. Work in texture through carpets or rugs, which can be wool, plush or even a hard textile like jute or berber. If you want to show off hardwood floors, incorporate a small area rug with a rich pattern. Shy away from sheer drapery in favor of more substantial curtains.

Arranging Everything

• The right placement matters when it comes to key pieces like these sofas. Position the sofas around a focal point, whether it's your large screen television or your French doors. Add in additional furniture like chairs and tables. Move the pieces around to create a space that allows you to travel through it easily and comes together around your focal point. Add decorative fabrics and art that enhance the burgundy sofas to complete the look.
