Usher's Living Room Teaches How to Elevate Burgundy From a Simple Trending Hue to a Chic and Timeless Statement

When colors get very popular very fast, they are often gone like a flash in the pan. By the way... has anyone heard from butter yellow lately? Thus, with the newfound stardom of burgundy, you may be apprehensive about decorating with the deep red hue, for fear that it will fade out as fast as it burned in, but with the right treatment, the color becomes an utterly timeless neutral. For guidance, we're turning to Usher.

Recent photographs of the singer-songwriter's Atlanta home reveal a masterclass in decorating with burgundy as a neutral designed to withstand the test of time. The artist worked with Nicole Fuller Interiors to transform his house into a living sanctuary full of art and family heirlooms that celebrate Black culture and his 30-year music career with cozy, cocooning interiors. In the living room, deep red walls and velvet cushions create a rich ambiance amongst the marble fireplace and classic mouldings. It features custom boiserie panels by David/Nicolas, a custom light fixture by Nacho Carbonell, a coffee table by BG Robinson, and art by Daniel Arsham.
