Windows take first place in the design of any interior, so they are always decorated with special attention. If you prefer burgundy curtains, you need to carefully select all the suitable tones. Since ancient times, burgundy tones have been associated with prosperity and luxury; it is not for nothing that they are considered royal.
Burgundy curtains are available in the following shades: red-brown, wine, dark red and dark burgundy. They will easily brighten up and make the interior of any style more chic - baroque, classic, rococo, modern, oriental and empire.
Burgundy color: its specificity
Burgundy curtains in the interior create excellent harmony with cool colors. As for visual perception, it is used in doses, in combination with other shades. Red color affects the heartbeat, and burgundy, being the darkest shade of red, has a gentle effect on the psyche and evokes joyful feelings. If you choose the wrong color and combination of burgundy and dark, you can cause a feeling of anxiety and aggression.
It is better not to hang curtains of this color in small rooms, as they will visually reduce its area. The indoor space should be well lit in any way. Also, they should not be combined with dark wallpaper. But you don’t have to completely give up this color, but on the contrary, choose all the small details wisely and create a special interior in your home.
The burgundy interior is comfortable for any room. It gives the living room elegance and nobility, and the bedroom a unique atmosphere where you can relax and feel protected. Dark red curtains are also good for the kitchen and dining room.
If you decide to decorate your office with such curtains, then you need to add brown elements. Such an environment is considered stable, and work in it will be more productive.
We must not forget about the quality of the fabric: cheap materials do not look so majestic and can ruin the entire interior. It is better to buy velvet, cotton, silk or velor, you can add lace. For the living room, it is advisable to use taffeta because of its lightness and elegance, decorated with embroidery.
Curtains for the bedroom
In a children's room, it is better to refrain from burgundy curtains, due to the negative impact on the child's psyche.
They will have the exact opposite effect in the adult bedroom. The main thing is to correctly combine with the tones of the ceiling and walls. If white predominates, you can match the color of the pillow and bedspread. In such a burgundy interior you feel comfortable, acquiring complete emotional calm.
It has always been believed that bedroom interior design should consist of milky, olive and light shades. By adding decorative elements - slats on the windows, tulle, they can be harmoniously combined with the shades of the carpet or bedspread.
The main rule is the correct selection of light and soft colors on the ceiling and walls. For example, when burgundy curtains and walls merge, the perception will be overwhelming and heavy. But if they are complemented with a pink tone with brown or white with ash pink, then spending time in such a room will be pleasant and joyful.
You can divide the room into two zones. Then a combination of dark colors with burgundy curtains is acceptable. Even black elements will perfectly suit this curtain design if they are diluted with white decor.
Sometimes a little blue is added to the burgundy color; this shade is already called plum. It is well complemented by silver tones, lilac and gray. Gilding is always welcome in the direct design of the curtains themselves.
If you use an oriental style to decorate your bedroom, it will add passion to such a room, which will be very useful.
Curtains for the living room
The calling card of any home is the living room or hall. These rooms are convenient for receiving guests and holding celebrations for the whole family.
If the room has large windows and ceilings, light curtains of the same tone with massive lambrequins and curtains are suitable. Together with all the details of the room’s interior, a single whole design solution is formed.
When choosing burgundy-colored wallpaper, it is better to apply it to one wall to avoid going overboard with the color.
For the living room, dark, purple heavy curtains with a beige or cream-colored curtain are suitable. You can also choose tulle with a translucent texture to highlight their beauty.
Curtains with a pattern are selected if the design has a minimum number of small details. As a result, beige, cream, and golden colors, which form a pastel range of tones, go well with burgundy.
It is most advantageous to combine the color of curtains in red and burgundy tones with silver or gold. Such shades, being cold and warm, are used to create great designs.
Sometimes, to give the curtains a rich color, monograms, fringes, cords and garters in golden shades are used.

Photo of burgundy curtains
Burgundy is very popular in the fashion world, including in apartment design. In our article you will learn the features of this color and see how elegant burgundy curtains look in the interior, thanks to a selection of photos.
We will share design rules and secrets of using dark red shades, which will help create harmony and comfort in the room.
Characteristics and meaning of color
The aristocratic combination of red and brown combines the positive qualities of the two colors. Expression and activity are balanced by a tendency to deep thought.
The color burgundy is often associated with business people. It symbolizes strength, power, self-confidence, financial stability and a certain amount of conservatism.
Fans of wine color also include creative people. No wonder he adorns the theater stage. Psychologists say that the color burgundy develops determination, perseverance and organizational skills.
Its shades include:
- ruby;
- carmine;
- sangria;
- cherry;
- lingonberry;
- wine;
- Marsala;
- burgundy;
- Bordeaux.
Burgundy curtains can be the main accent of a room, no matter what style it is decorated in. Bright or subdued, they will be a worthy decoration in the hall and in the bathroom.
It is important to choose the right tone, color combination and not to overdo it with the amount of such colors in the interior.
And here's how best to use it:
- in spacious rooms;
- with good natural or artificial lighting;
- give her no more than 30% of your interior.
Of course, there are pleasant exceptions to these rules. Plus, it all depends on subjective perception. Let's find out what burgundy curtains look like in the interior of the living room.
Hall
Burgundy curtains are typical for classic, oriental interiors, such styles as Baroque, Provence and Art Deco. They can often be found in rooms decorated in minimalist and modern styles.
They go with all shades of white, beige, sand, gray and brown. Therefore, light or dark burgundy curtains are also suitable for loft-style living rooms.
The curtains will be complemented by other home textiles, preferably made from the same material. Bedspreads, tablecloths, carpets, sofa cushions, paintings, and other small decorative elements can harmonize in color, as in these photos.
Modern styles are more suitable for laconic long curtains with folds. Curtains with grommets are an opportunity to create a beautiful drapery without any accessories. The fabrics used are satin, satin, cotton, linen, and chintz.
Roman blinds are suitable for small living rooms, since they do not require a standard curtain rod (like their roller counterparts). A transparent veil that does not burden the interior will add beauty here.
Lifting curtains are often used to decorate small bay windows, balcony windows and openings. This is very convenient if there is furniture or heating radiators under the windows.
In this case, short French or Austrian curtains are appropriate as window decoration. Plain or patterned, they will decorate a country-style living room.
Having freed the lower part of the room, you can decorate the upper part of the composition. Curtains with a lambrequin are a great opportunity to add solemnity to the interior, and at the same time hide or decorate the cornice.
Combining thread curtains and patterned organza, crossed monotone and colored curtains is a great way to create a unique window composition.
In interiors that are close in design to the classics, simplicity is not welcome. The emphasis can be on design, on material, or on both of these aspects. Soft velvet, corduroy, jacquard, brocade with monograms are elegant in themselves.
But the window composition can be improved - for example, with the help of fringe. Wide tiebacks will help you drape thick fabric.
The classic combination of curtains and tulle has been replaced by compositions of several fabrics. Double curtains - burgundy with beige or white - will balance overly saturated or dark tones and complement the color ensemble.
Burgundy and gold also looks good, which makes it an integral part of gilded interiors.
Beautiful string curtains slightly diffuse the light and fill the room with light reflections. You can use several different colors of muslin and feel free to combine them with tulle. Striped curtains are trending, and this is what they come in.
Bedroom
Burgundy curtains in the bedroom interior guarantee a good sleep, peace and tranquility. The standard combination with dominant white can be diluted with a small amount of black, plum and other dark shades. This is how we most often imagine night curtains that won’t let in a single ray of sunlight.
The lining can act as additional protection, which can always be beautifully exposed during the day. There is also a special lightproof blackout fabric that provides the effect of complete darkness even in the daytime.
Plain curtains can be complemented with tulle with a burgundy pattern. White patterned and translucent fabric sometimes comes to the fore, as evidenced by these photos.
A good solution for the bedroom would be muslin or tulle with voluminous patterns. But keep in mind that you will have to wake up with the sun. To darken the look, hang roller blinds or pleated blinds in neutral colors.
Kitchen
In the kitchen interior, the use of bright and dark shades should be moderate. It is believed that the former increase appetite, and the latter narrow the window opening. This is especially important for small rooms, because only light colors tend to expand the space.
In a small kitchen, burgundy color can be represented by small designs or patterns. Short cafe curtains in a checkered pattern or tulle in the form of an arch, roller blinds, Roman blinds are the best options.
Long floor-length curtains, although beautiful, are impractical for this room. An alternative would be tulle or muslin, secured with a tieback, magnet or boutonniere. A convenient and effective window design would be slanting asymmetrical curtains.
What to combine with your favorite burgundy-colored curtains? If neither the facades nor other furniture match in color, add a couple of little things. Kitchen utensils, new handles on drawer doors, napkins, ikebana - in general, get creative.
Children's
Plain dark curtains in the interior of a nursery will look too gloomy. Here burgundy should be used minimally, combining it with softer and warmer colors - white, beige, light olive, green.
In a children's room, only small inclusions can be burgundy - circles, flowers, checkers, stripes or pictures.
The advantage of this color is that it is not gender specific, meaning it is suitable for a girl’s or a boy’s bedroom.
The use of bright, berry shades will have a tonic effect on the child and will not promote sleep. Psychologists say so, but this point is individual. In addition, there are many previously described combined compositions that will balance the color scheme. And this is what they look like.
Now you know everything about burgundy curtains and the intricacies of their use. They are versatile and go with warm and cool colors. And the only side effect of “darkness” is considered by many to be an advantage.
When decorating luxurious, formal or creative interiors, designers give preference to rich, complex colors as window decor. Burgundy curtains and tulle are one of the most striking examples of this approach. How to choose the right shade and in what rooms it is appropriate to use them will be discussed below.
What is color
Previously in Russian this color was called black. The word "Bordeaux" has been officially used as a definition for the color name since 1891. Ten years later the adjective “burgundy” was formed from it.
Let's thicken the red to the limit, add a little black. The result is burgundy - a symbol of aged wine and royal power. The quintessence of greatness must be used carefully, otherwise we risk the effect of pompous permissiveness. After all, unlimited power is already despotism, and an abundance of wine leads to intemperance.
Pure, rich, mysterious Bordeaux is extremely diverse. Its attractiveness is based on the ability to become deeper due to the shadow that thickens the colors. Its color depends on the proportions of the components - in addition to red and black, brown, purple, blue, yellow, and gray can be mixed in burgundy. And once you add shine, you get the impression that it sparkles in a myriad of shades.
Shades of burgundy in the Pantone system for textiles. At the end of the last century, they forgot about burgundy. We remembered in 2005, when Marsala-colored clothes conquered the catwalks. Later, the burgundy palette reappeared in home decoration and today is again deservedly popular. It has penetrated deeply into our everyday life, has been widely used, won hearts, and has become one of the most popular.
Features of burgundy decor on windows
Curtains with eyelets in Marsala color combined with white roller blinds in the interior of a modern bedroom. The burgundy color helps create a festive atmosphere in the design, and at the same time, it is perceived very softly. Any room in burgundy looks luxurious, to some extent, majestic.
Life-affirming burgundy has a positive effect on the nervous system, evokes joyful emotions, and amazes with its richness, mystery, and attractiveness. You can feel the power in it, which literally pulsates, making its owner more charismatic and confident. Only 100% melancholic people perceive it with excitement.
The most popular combination is burgundy with beige, milky, creamy. The rare property of burgundy is that it can be combined with any warm or cold colors, allowing you to create the most comfortable environment. But no matter how wonderful it is, be careful: beware of the touch of boudoir style, but do not treat the historical past of the “palace” color carelessly, frame it appropriately.
Experts advise:
- decorate spacious apartments with burgundy curtains, with good lighting during daylight and twilight hours;
- in a space of modest size it is better to use it as a decorative finish;
- popular combinations for curtains - burgundy with beige, white cream;
- do not fill all surfaces with burgundy, the room will begin to resemble the inside of a box;
- in children's burgundy is almost not used, since its combinations, especially with black and purple, are too heavy for the child;
- Double fabrics with a white, milky, creamy lining look very stylish.
Light pastel walls are the perfect backdrop for burgundy curtains. Black curtains are organic in many modern styles: modern, minimalism, eclecticism, fusion, loft. They are a constant attribute of oriental classics: Arabic, Indian, Chinese, Japanese. They will be an ideal solution for the embodiment of historical aristocratic designs: Empire, Baroque, Rococo, classicism, art deco. Here it is traditional to use burgundy and gold curtains in the form of embroidery, fringe, and tassels on tiebacks. Gold accessories emphasize the status of the setting.
To prevent the cheerful atmosphere from transforming into a depressing one, accents are placed carefully - for example, supporting burgundy curtains with a figurine, vase, baguette frame of the same color, choosing other elements in a neutral palette.
Burgundy color in the interior looks beautiful and rich, but its use must be treated with caution, taking into account all the requirements for the size of the room, its illumination, and purpose.
In the living room
A vintage interior with curtains made of luxurious burgundy velvet can only be maintained by a spacious living room with large windows. If the room is not very large or the windows are not high, then you should not weigh them down with solid burgundy. White curtains with a burgundy pattern will help give the space visual volume and height to the windows.
Burgundy curtains in the living room interior are often made from velor, silk, and velvet. In an aristocratic setting, expensive textiles look dignified and fundamental. In modern trends, the fabric for burgundy curtains is simpler: satin, jacquard, thick linen.
Light pastel finishing materials will help prevent the hall from turning into Ali Baba's cave. Do you want to use burgundy? Place it on one surface, for example, behind a sofa or plasma. A bright wall attracts attention, zones the space without weighing it down.
Burgundy curtains in the living room interior look beautiful and expensive, but it is important not to overload the decor with them and fill the room with light. During the day - natural. In the evening - with the help of lamps, floor lamps, pendant lamps, adjustable in height.
In a small living room decorated in eclectic, fusion, and minimalist styles, Roman blinds look great. 
In a spacious, lightly decorated living room filled with natural and artificial light, long burgundy curtains look like an accent spot. 
Burgundy curtains are often complemented with complex lambrequins, tiebacks with gold fringe tassels, making their design truly luxurious. 
White and gray are the best friends of noble burgundy in a minimalist living room. 
If the burgundy color of the curtains is not duplicated in accessories, decoration, and upholstery on furniture, they will become the most noticeable accent detail in the interior. Burgundy curtains in the interior of the living room - a room where creativity is welcomed - will become an occasion to realize your creative potential. Depending on the design concept, both heavy draperies and light transparent designs are suitable here.
In the bedroom
A burgundy bedroom with natural wood furniture and gold trim is reminiscent of the royal chambers of the times of Louis XIV. We must rest physically and emotionally from the events of the past day. Burgundy in the bedroom relaxes and promotes sound sleep. But its dosages and combinations need to be thought through. For example, with dark walls and floors, the bedroom will look like the bedchamber of Ivan the Terrible.
To make dark curtains soothing, the walls are decorated in soft pastels: beige, soft pink, ash. Burgundy is duplicated in accompanying textiles: bedspread, pillows, carpet.
Burgundy textiles look great against the background of light walls and floors, but in the bedroom it is better to make them not openly white, but muted pastel shades. For a “palace” bedroom, the ideal option is satin, brocade, velor, velvet curtains with gold fringe, tassels, and tiebacks made of twisted cords. It should be remembered that royal decoration suits spacious apartments with high windows; it looks ridiculous in small ones.
Curtains made of taffeta, satin, linen with a burgundy pattern and trim are suitable for a compact bedroom. When the rest of the textiles have a pattern, they are made plain or with the same pattern.
Heavy burgundy curtains made of devore velvet, light curtains, a bedspread made of three fabrics of different textures to match, furniture made of natural wood, everything in this bedroom is conducive to a comfortable sleep. 
The traditional combination of burgundy curtains with white tulle excites. If you can’t do without white, try to choose soft milky, creamy, grayish shades for tulle. 
Satin and silk burgundy curtains are often sewn on a lining in the colors of cream, baked milk, or beige, obtaining not only an impressive design, but also blackout-type opacity. 
If you want to make burgundy walls, choose one, preferably at the headboard. 
The original solution is burgundy striped curtains and white blinds instead of tulle. Combining burgundy curtains with dark tones should be done very carefully. The result can be a gloomy atmosphere that has a depressing influence, causing aggression.
In the kitchen
Warm burgundy can be combined with many cool shades, but in the kitchen it is most often combined with white. Most often, burgundy color in the kitchen is combined with white or beige. This tandem looks truly luxurious and is suitable for both classic and modern interiors.
Burgundy curtains in the kitchen are allowed in a small room, as their color increases appetite and improves mood. The main rule is to dilute dark colors with light ones. Otherwise, the room will seem smaller and cramped. The walls, floor, and ceiling are made monochrome or with dotted “wine” splashes (patterns on wallpaper, inserts on tiles).
The facades of the set do not match the curtains in color? You will have to place accents: choose napkins, potholders, towels, tablecloths to match the curtains.
In a cramped kitchenette, it is more convenient to use compact Roman blinds, roller blinds, or tulle. At the same time, tulle in the kitchen looks great solo. In the spacious dining room, full-length curtains are allowed.
The laconicism of burgundy Roman curtains can be diluted with original white lambrequins. 
Burgundy curtains and floor-length white tulle are an ideal combination, but this design is only suitable for a spacious kitchen. 
A burgundy and beige kitchen looks warmer and more comfortable than a burgundy and white one. This color is the second most popular. Another advantage of tulle in the kitchen is the ability to choose any length. Transparent, lightweight fabric does not overload the decor or reduce space.
A burgundy organza curtain and a white Roman blind with a burgundy insert made of the same fabric are a good solution for a small kitchen with a small window. 
It is convenient to hang muslin on the window combined with the balcony door, since it does not interfere with the passage to the balcony and back. 
Arch-shaped curtains made of delicate burgundy veil are a practical, beautiful option for a window in the work area. 
The burgundy color on the curtains in the kitchen must be supported in the interior with some details of the same color. With the help of burgundy curtains they decorate rooms of any size and characteristics. Luxurious decor may not be too expensive - the color of aristocrats does not like an abundance of details, it is meaningful in itself. The main thing is not to cross the line between appropriate quantity and vulgarity.
