Burgundy: This Season’s Most Timeless Christmas Colour

Burgundy: The Christmas Colour That Elevates Every Home (Yes, it’s better than red)

Red Christmas décor is traditional — but burgundy is the elegant, grown-up, quiet-luxury version of it.
It’s deeper, softer, more refined… and far easier to style with the modern home.

This season, burgundy is everywhere — interiors, fashion, florals, tablescapes.
But where it thrives most is in Christmas styling.

Here’s how to pair burgundy beautifully with your interiors.

Burgundy + Cream

Timeless, warm and soft.
Cream tones allow burgundy to feel rich rather than overpowering. If your room is neutral with creams and beige, this is the perfect compliment:

Burgundy + Blue

A chic contrast, especially navy.
This pairing feels high-end and quietly dramatic — ideal for coastal homes, period properties and modern new builds alike.

Burgundy + Green

Think winter foliage, eucalyptus, pine.
Natural, grounded, effortless. Ideal for homes that have lots of natural surfaces, such as stone and wood.

Burgundy + Pink

Soft, feminine and romantic.

This makes a gorgeous twist for people who want something chic and fresh.
