In the past few years, burgundy has been gaining more and more popularity in the home and interior design world. The color takes its name from the region of France that produces an iconic Burgundy wine mostly used by homeowners who want to create elegant and glamorous interior decor.
This color is slightly similar to maroon, but a little bit more purple while maroon is having more red tones.
This dark reddish-purple color is often used as a fabric furniture finish, such as sofa or couch. This will help create a bit of glamorous touch in the interior spaces.
