Color of the Month: Brilliant Burgundy
Our color of the month for October has tons of depth, style and elegance to boot.
Like the wine it’s named after, burgundy the color has depth and style. It’s somehow both elegant and wild—it makes a splash when paired with blush, ivory, or gray, and it pops against more saturated shades, like navy, black, and teal. Get a taste with small accents, or pour it on like Kate Pearce did when she designed this dining room. Either way, it’ll add richness and warmth to any room it spills into.
Rifle Paper Co. x Loloi Rug
This pretty Maison Frances Burgundy Rug (from $70; riflepaperco.com) may look from afar like something vintage from afar, but look a little closer and you'll see a playful floral pattern that reads more boho than traditional. Look to the colors used in this intricate design when choosing furniture for your space (if you don't have pieces already!). From blues to greens and muted pinks, there's plenty to choose from.
Blissy Silk Pillowcase
Not only is this 100% Mulberry Silk Pillowcase (from $90; blissy.com) hypoallergenic, it also helps protect your hair and skin while you sleep—no morning creases here!
Blu Dot Side Table
This modern Swole Side Table ($375; bludot.com) is a space saver thanks to its slight frame, plus it comes in four other colors just in case you're not in a burgundy mood. Plus, the Swole line comes in different sizes and even a coffee table version so you can lean into the this sleek silhouette.
Anthropologie Cabinet
We love a multi-functional storage sitch, and this Fern Cabinet ($2,698; anthropologie.com) serves up both form and function. Use it as a makeshift bar, china cabinet (use the drawers for linens like tablecloths and napkins!), or a spot for showing off treasured objects.

Ready to bathe a space in this rich, dramatic shade? Valspar Signature Heirloom Red Paint (prices vary; lowes.com) is the perfect shade of burgundy, even if you don't want to use it on your walls. Cabinets, your front door, or an old bookshelf in need of a makeover would all look gorg in this deep shade of red.
DWR Storage unit
Another smart storage solution, this Componibili Storage Unit ($335; dwr.com) has three compartments and a compact footprint perfect for small spaces. Tuck away odds and ends or unsightly things like charging cords and remotes when not in use.
