Burgundy Kitchen Ideas: Timeless Elegance and Bold Design Choices
Burgundy kitchens are making a bold return to luxury interior design. In this guide, Stacey Cobley, one of our senior designers explores the many ways to incorporate burgundy into your kitchen. From bespoke cabinets to stunning walls and striking tile designs, discover how burgundy can help your kitchen feel both elegant and uniquely yours.
The Appeal of Burgundy Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinets are one brilliant way to bring burgundy into your kitchen. The deep tone makes your cupboards the focal point of your kitchen, welcoming you as soon as you step into the room. Glossy cabinets are ideal for a sleek, modern aesthetic, whereas matte burgundy cabinets can bring soft charm to traditional kitchens.
Pair your rich cabinets with brass or brushed nickel hardware to introduce a touch of contrast, or let the colour shine on its own for a bolder look. For more design inspiration, explore one of our Georgian kitchen renovations: Arbor Kitchen in Burgundy
Designing Kitchen Walls
Burgundy walls can transform your kitchen into a space that feels luxurious and warm. This colour can work particularly well as a feature wall, drawing the eyes to open shelving and decor. For those who prefer balance, pairing burgundy walls with light cabinetry or white marble worktops helps soften the look.
Lighting also plays a crucial role in enhancing the depth and vibrancy of burgundy walls. Strategically placed under-cabinet lighting or carefully chosen pendant lights can create beautiful highlights and shadows, showcasing the richness of the colour. To see how bold colours can create impact, explore the hand painted motif in this beautiful kitchen:
Creative Uses of Kitchen Tiles
Burgundy tiles bring a touch of bespoke luxury to your kitchen, whether used as a backsplash, on floors, or as accent details. Metro tiles are a popular choice, offering a clean, classic look that suits a variety of styles. For a more intricate or artistic effect, mosaic tiles can add texture and detail, while encaustic tiles make a bold statement with their vibrant patterns and colours.
Choosing the right finish can enhance the overall aesthetic. Matte tiles provide understated elegance, making them ideal for traditional or rustic kitchens, whereas glossy tiles bring a contemporary touch, reflecting light beautifully.
Combining Burgundy and Pink for a Modern Kitchen Look
Burgundy and pink might seem like an unexpected pairing, but together they create a playful yet refined palette. Pink can soften the richness of burgundy and introduce a contemporary edge. Pale pink walls, for instance, can provide a subtle contrast to burgundy cabinetry, while soft furnishings or delicate accents in pink offer a charming touch of warmth.
For a truly bespoke result, our hand-painting service can ensure perfect colour coordination, making it easy to incorporate pink into your kitchen in a way that complements burgundy's boldness without overpowering it. Learn more: Bespoke Hand Painted Kitchens.
Striking the Perfect Balance
Grey provides a neutral backdrop that allows burgundy to shine. Lighter shades of grey can create a fresh, modern aesthetic that feels airy and spacious, while darker greys add drama and depth, especially in larger kitchens.
In terms of materials, concrete-effect worktops and grey marble surfaces pair beautifully with burgundy, creating a luxurious and contemporary feel. This balanced approach not only enhances the richness of burgundy but also adds versatility, making it suitable for a variety of design styles.
Dramatic Elegance with Burgundy and Black Kitchens
For those seeking an even bolder design statement, combining burgundy with black creates an unforgettable look. Black accents, such as handles, appliances, or worktops, provide a sleek contrast to burgundy cabinetry or walls. Glossy black finishes amplify a modern aesthetic by reflecting light, while matte black offers a subtler, more understated look.
This dramatic pairing works exceptionally well in kitchens that embrace a modern, luxurious vibe.
