Trend Alert: The Case for Burgundy Accents in the Kitchen

October 28, 2025

In the spectrum of reds, from fiery to relaxed, burgundy falls under the latter and is an easy, comforting shade to live with. Which perhaps explains why it’s having a color moment.

Wine red may be associated with baronial settings, but it works surprisingly well as a prominent accent in kitchens, whether contemporary or old world. Here are 10 standouts that make the case for cooking with burgundy.

The cabinets are painted Scarlet ‘n’ Rust in a finish called Architects’ Gloss, and the walls are matte Mink, a “pink-based neutral.” The Clean White ceiling works with the porcelain sink and the marble counter to balance the composition.

At The Commons, Tasting Table’s former testing lab and event space in SoHo NYC, designers Brad Sherman and Barbara Giacoman custom designed the cabinets, which are faced with Forbo furniture linoleum and topped with Caesarstone in a color called Frozen Terra.

“That burgundy is very much a red, but it’s warm and neutral enough that it works well with the natural wood tones and food looks great against it,” Giacoman told Tasting Table. Photograph by Aaron Thompson, courtesy of Float Studio.
