Pantone has announced that its color for 2015 is "Marsala," a brownish shade of red. Burgundy has been appearing in fashion for a while, and it is now entering the realm of home decor. Here is a bit of inspiration . . .

"In the foyer, paintings by Alexander Mihaylovich are interspersed with antique mirrors; the ceiling and walls are sheathed in a wallpaper by Maya Romanoff."

"Lettuce and chard can look decorative, but they tend to wilt quickly. Designer Doan Ly, of Sprout in Brooklyn, prefers burgundy kale for its sturdy leaves. 'Burgundy is a good accent color,' she says. 'Combine it with white ranunculus or roses in a soft blush color for a neutral palette, or do a really vibrant palette with red, orange, and yellow.' " 
“ 'Use a pedestal vessel—a porcelain tureen, a silver goblet, or a Japanese ikebana stand,”' advises Bridget Vizoso. Find containers at flea markets."

"Honey-toned toile de Jouy on the walls, dental moulding, patterned bedding, and vintage furniture offer old world charm in this guest bedroom in Luce Gayrard's North Hatley weekend retreat. Upholstering walls with toile fabric rather than wallpaper creates texture, but a toile paper works just as well. If toile isn't for you, try a faded floral pattern to mimic old wallpaper."

" 'I often find that my clients stop using their wedding china altogether because their tastes change, which is sad--it's such an important part of family history,' says Rachel. 'But it's simple to pair existing china, especially if it's white, with accent plates and chargers to make it more current.' For this occasion, Rachel chose service plates in a paisley pattern made up of tiny mosaic-like squares of snappy turquoise, burgundy, yellow, and burnt orange. The service plates inspired the new linens. Together, they're not overly matchy, but they come from the same color family. A runner in a large floral pattern layers over a rich burgundy tablecloth. Linen napkins in turquoise pull another color from the service plates. Each napkin is gathered at its center by a simple hammered-brass napkin ring.
