Choose Perfect-Coordinating Burgundy Shower Curtains and Accessories

With its rich, jewel-toned hue, a burgundy shower curtain makes a dramatic style statement in any bathroom. Burgundy adds a feeling of depth and luxury, whether your decor leans traditional or modern. It especially suits French country, Tuscan, and rustic cottage styles.

A complete burgundy shower curtain set with coordinating accessories like towels, rugs, and wastebaskets creates a cohesive, well-designed look. We'll share beautiful color combination ideas. And provide tips for decorating the rest of the room to match.

Why Choose Burgundy for Your Bathroom?

Beyond just being trendy, here's why a rich burgundy color scheme stands out:

• It's elegant and regal, perfect for spa-like spaces
• Burgundy complements various styles from modern to cottage
• It introduces moodiness and drama, without going too dark
• Coordinates well with other bold colors and patterns

Whether your bathroom is small or spacious, burgundy shower curtains make a statement. They draw the eye and serve as a focal point while introducing gorgeous color. A burgundy liner and matching hooks then pull the whole room together.

A Note on Burgundy Versus Maroon

Before selecting your curtains, decide whether you prefer burgundy's purple undertones or maroon's more orangey-red character. While some use the terms interchangeably, interior designers define them as distinct shades:

• Burgundy: Deep red color with hints of eggplant purple
• Maroon: Dark reddish brown without purple notes

We suggest browsing both to discover your ideal rich red! Then decorate the rest of the bathroom in the same color family for harmony.

Finding the Right Burgundy Tone for You

Burgundy encompasses a wide spectrum from lighter reds to deep wine and purple shades. Consider existing tile, furnishings and your style direction when zeroing in on a hue. Here are some attractive combinations:

Pairing Paint and Fabrics

Select a burgundy with similar cool, warm or neutral undertones as existing tiles or walls:

• Creamy neutral paints - lighter burgundy curtains
• Cool grays and blues - richer eggplant burgundies
• Warm beiges and browns - brick red or maroon shades

Burgundy Curtain Styles and Patterns

Based on your chosen decorative theme, consider:

• Modern and minimalist - solid burgundy fabric
• Romantic and ornate - sheer lace or layered panels
• Farmhouse and country - checked or plaid , ruffled details

Mixing patterns is trendy if you want an eclectic vibe. For balance, pair busier patterns with blocks of solid burgundy. And echo fabrics elsewhere like towels and bath mats.

Burgundy Shower Curtain Options

Now that you know your perfect shade, it's time to select a shower curtain. Consider available features, textures and functionality:

Fabrics

From structured to light and airy:

• Polyester - durable, water repellant treatment
• Cotton/Poly blends - natural blended with longevity
• Linen or Lace - lightweight and elegant

Styles

• Tiered or Ruffled - decorative details
• Patterned - florals, geometrics, plaids
• Textured - woven, nubby, embroidered
• Solid - available in dozens of burgundy tones

Features and Lengths

• Magnets - adhere neatly to tubs
• Pockets - for additional storage space
• 72", 84" or custom lengths - measure carefully!
• Matching liner - protects curtain and walls

Once you select your burgundy shower curtain, continue pulling the room together with coordinating accessories described next.

Selecting Coordinating Accessories

An intricately patterned shower curtain pops even more against a neutral backdrop. For a cohesive look, decorate with burgundy accents like:

• Bath towels and mats
• Wastebaskets and tissue holders
• Candles, trays, and decorative bottles
• Soaps, lotions, and powder boxes
• Framed prints and wall art

Then, weave in metals like antique brass or gold for rich contrast. Layer multiple colors and textures for depth and interest!

Creating a Color Scheme

While burgundy can stand alone as an accent shade, complementary colors prevent overwhelm. Some fail-proof combinations include:

Neutrals - White, Ivory, Tan

Crisp neutrals let burgundy take center stage while keeping the room light. Echo creams in stone vessel sinks, cabinets and wainscoting trim.

Metallic Finishes - Aged Brass, Gold

The warmth of metallics mirrors burgundy's rich tones beautifully. Incorporate through faucets, sconces and framed mirrors.

Earth Tones - Light Brown, Beige

Ground burgundy shower curtains with natural wood cabinetry, woven baskets and organic textured linens.

Lighter Reds and Purples

Connect to burgundy's base tones by layering in raspberry reds and blush pinks. Coordinate towels, candles and ceramic dishes.
