Burgundy Wallpaper

What Burgundy Wallpaper Is

Burgundy wallpaper is a deep, wine-red wall covering. It sits between red, brown and purple. It warms a room fast, which is why dining rooms and studies take to it so well.

Giffywalls prints every mural to the exact size of your wall. We have shipped this shade to dining rooms, snugs and hallways across the country, and one pattern stands out. The buyers who commit to all four walls are the happiest with it.

How Burgundy Behaves in Your Light

Deep colors shift more than pale ones do. That is worth knowing before you order.

In daylight burgundy reads rich and slightly brown. Under warm lamps at night it glows and turns almost plum. In a north-facing room it can go flat and muddy. Pick a design with gold, cream or a soft sheen there, so the wall keeps some lift. In a south-facing room the sun pulls the red forward. The wall looks brighter than the sample did on your desk.

Rooms That Suit It

Dining Rooms

This is the classic pick, and for good reason. Deep red makes a room feel close and social after dark. Candlelight loves it. Pair it with a dark wood table and warm brass. Our dining room wallpaper range covers more in this mood.

Studies and Snugs

A small room is the right place to be brave. Burgundy pulls the walls in, so use that on purpose. Add bookshelves, a reading lamp and a wool rug. The room ends up feeling like a jacket, not a box.

Bedrooms and Hallways

Behind a bed, a burgundy floral reads plush rather than heavy. In a hallway it does best on one wall, or below a picture rail. There is little daylight to help it in a hall, so keep the ceiling white.

One Wall or Four?

Here is the honest answer. Dark shades often look best on every wall, not one. A single burgundy wall in a white room can read like a change of mind. Four walls read like a choice. If you only want one, put it behind something big. A bed, a sofa, a dresser, so it has weight to carry.

Styles You Will Find Here

Burgundy is a family of shades, not one look. You will find damask, dark floral wallpaper, marble, velvet texture, gothic scroll and plain deep washes. Like it modern? Take a flat texture and let the color do the work. Like it rich? Take a dense floral with gold detail.

Colors and Materials to Build Around

Cream and warm white stop it turning heavy. Gold and brass lift it, so the gold wallpaper pairing is a safe one. Walnut, oak and tan leather all sit well beside it. Blush pink softens the whole scheme. Deep green makes a rich, old-library room. One thing to skip: cool gray, which drains it. For a brighter take on the same family, compare the wider red wallpaper range.

Sizing, Finish and Fitting

Send us the width and the height of your wall. We scale the artwork to match, so a motif never lands half-cut in a corner. Here is a tip for dark shades in particular. Check the wall first. Deep colors are honest about bumps, dents and old patches, far more than a pale paper is. Fill and sand before you hang.

Renting? Peel and stick lifts off cleanly at the end of a lease. Staying put? Paste the wall is the sturdier pick for a room you plan to keep. Panels arrive numbered, with hanging notes in the box. Shipping is free on every order.
