Embrace the Burgundy Trend This Fall: A Splash of Warmth for Your Home and Closet

Fall is just around the corner, and with it comes the perfect excuse to refresh both your home and wardrobe with cozy, rich hues. This season, burgundy is taking center stage, bringing a touch of warmth, sophistication, and a whole lot of style. It’s the more sophisticated and muted version of red which I’m all about for this season. Whether you're a fan of subtle accents or bold statements, burgundy is a versatile color that can easily find its place in your space and your closet.

Why Burgundy?

Burgundy is that perfect blend of red and purple, giving it a deep, rich tone that feels both luxurious and grounded. It’s the kind of color that works equally well in a cozy living room or as part of a chic fall outfit. Plus, it's a shade that complements many other fall colors like mustard, navy, and even blush.

how to incorporate burgundy into your home

  • Throw Pillows & Blankets: Add burgundy throw pillows or blankets to your couch or bed for an easy seasonal update.

  • Rugs: A burgundy rug can ground your space and add a pop of color underfoot. It works beautifully with neutral furniture.

  • Curtains: Swap out your light summer curtains for heavy burgundy drapes. They’ll keep the warmth in and look stunning against the fall light.

  • Table Settings: Incorporate burgundy into your dining room with tablecloths, napkins, or even dinnerware for a festive fall feel.

  • Floral Arrangements: Burgundy flowers, like dahlias or chrysanthemums, are perfect for adding a fresh, seasonal touch to any room.

  • Walls: Paint all the walls burgundy in a powder room or in a small bedroom or guest room and incorporate a lot of lighter furniture and accents with it.

  • Outerwear: A burgundy coat or jacket is a great investment piece that will make a statement and keep you warm as the temperatures drop.

  • Sweaters & Cardigans: Cozy up in a soft burgundy sweater or cardigan. It’s a versatile piece that pairs well with jeans, skirts, and just about anything.

  • Boots: Swap your usual black or brown boots for a burgundy pair. It’s a subtle way to introduce color into your outfit without going overboard.

  • Accessories: Think burgundy scarves, hats, and even handbags. These are easy ways to embrace the trend without committing to a full outfit.

  • Nail Polish & Lipstick: If you’re really just dipping your toes into the trend, try a burgundy manicure or a rich, wine-colored lipstick for a chic and polished look.
