The world of architecture and design is constantly evolving. Trends from fashion and interior design are increasingly finding their way into building materials. One striking development is the growing popularity of Burgundy Red: a deep, warm shade of red that is appearing more and more in architecture and wood finishes.
At Carpentier, we are responding to this trend by adding Burgundy Red as an on-trend colour to our range of oiled and stained wood, for both exterior applications and interior finishes.
From fashion to architecture
In recent years, Burgundy Red has become a prominent colour in fashion and interior design thanks to its rich, elegant character. This deep shade of red conveys warmth, luxury and character. Now we are also seeing this aesthetic make its way into architecture, where colour is playing an increasingly important role in the overall design concept.
For timber cladding and wall panelling, Burgundy Red opens up new ways to give wood a distinctive and contemporary look.
A bold accent for exteriors
Used on timber cladding, Burgundy Red gives a building a warm and characterful accent. The shade pairs particularly well with materials such as concrete, steel and glass, while also combining beautifully with other wood varieties and wood tones.
Depending on the light, the timber grain and texture, and the surroundings, its appearance can range from deep red to a more subtle, earthy tone.
Within our on-trend colours for outdoors, Burgundy Red offers a distinctive alternative for those looking to move beyond classic wood tones and opt for a more expressive colour.
Warmth and atmosphere for interiors
Burgundy Red also creates a distinctive atmosphere indoors. Used on wall panelling, the colour brings a warm, intimate feel while adding depth and character to the interior.
Think of an accent wall in a living space, but also hospitality spaces, shops or office interiors where materials and experience are central to the design.
Within our on-trend colours for indoors, Burgundy Red is a stylish choice for anyone looking to use timber in a more expressive way.
Technical performance and aesthetics go hand in hand
As with all our finishes, Burgundy Red is created using high-quality oil and stain finishes that protect the timber while highlighting its natural grain and texture. This preserves the authentic character of the material, while the colour gives it a contemporary and distinctive look.
Discover Burgundy Red
With Burgundy Red, we are further expanding our range of coloured wood finishes and offering architects and building professionals fresh inspiration for using timber creatively, both indoors and outdoors.
