In this article, we will tell you how to create harmonious combinations of Marsala with other shades, how to include the color of Marsala in the color scheme of the interior so that it looks the most advantageous..

Marsala organically intertwines with shades of blue, pink and creamy ocher palette

Marsala in achromatic environment

Achromatic tones: black, white, gray – a win-win background for any of the shades of the color palette, including burgundy-red paints. Complex, belonging rather to warm red-brown tones, Marsala softens the severity of the black and white interior, dilutes prim white with its rich notes and complements black. The 2015 wine favorite forms an almost perfect pair with gray: more intense – with a cold bluish gray, “dusty” – with a warm brownish gray.

The snow-white kitchen, a little lively except with the color of baked milk, with a powerful accent in the form of a burgundy-wine facade, immediately acquires a different sound – energetic and sonorous, which is picked up by black matte and glossy surfaces

A spectacular pomegranate-wine shade looks equally advantageous both as bright accent elements and acting as the main color in the design of the room. Warm woody tones neutralize the harsh contrasts of a color scheme that combines Marsala with white and black

Introduced into the color palette of the interior as the basic tone of wall decoration, Marsala successfully interacts with black, white and reddish-brown colors, charging the atmosphere of the room with refined aristocracy

Marsala in combination with terracotta shades, taken in small doses, can transform a refined white and gray interior, enveloping the atmosphere with a cozy trail of warmth

The gray color effectively contrasts with the cool purple-wine hue, which is present both as a background tone and as decorative spots – in this case, stylized plant forms

A significant weight stain on kitchen facades in a violet-wine shade is balanced by a metallic gray tone, while milky walls and beige floor textiles soften the cool combination of silver and marsala

Marsala in tandem with warm beige tones

A noble combination is formed by burgundy colors, which include Marsala, with sandy, ocher, vanilla, beige tones. In a duet with shades of a warm palette, pinkish-burgundy colors can act both as accents and as the main background spot. Marsala, as a rich and vibrant color, creates an advantageous contrast to the whitened yellow palette, emitting dynamic flows of energy.

A shade of Marsala of low saturation, taken in small quantities and present only in the colors of several accessories, is subtly combined with ivory, vanilla, milk and white

Light furniture of the color of baked milk against the background of walls painted in an intense pomegranate tone looks expressive and original – it is this background plane that allows you to appreciate the beauty of the forms and decor of exquisite furniture

A rather trivial interior with a brown-beige color scheme does not look so boring when catchy accent details appear on the stage – decorative pillows and curtains made of combined textiles in a wine-gray-white range

The walls of the attic living room, painted in the deep tone of Marsala, are able to transform a vast space – turning it into a chamber area for measured leisure. Dark wood furnishings, light flooring and warm beige upholstery work well with burgundy surfaces

A daring combination: Marsala with turquoise

The harmonious combination of turquoise and marsala, where both shades belong to warm tones, requires careful handling: the wine color should be less in weight than the greenish blue. It is permissible to take burgundy and turquoise in equal parts, but in this case, the main planes of the room should be white.

An extravagant pair is formed by the color of Marsala and turquoise. White walls, greyish-beige flooring, turquoise textiles and velvety wine-tone furniture upholstery are a color palette for a living room, the interior of which will leave few people indifferent.

The ethnic interior looks unusual, in which the muted tone of Marsala is adjacent to pale turquoise and white, and ocher and dark brown shades serve as accents

Burgundy-wine Marsala blends seamlessly with vintage and retrograde interiors, bringing warm and energetic chords to a whitish-aged setting, diluted with blue and turquoise details

Textiles in Marsala look especially attractive – a rich garnet hue enhances the warmth fluids emitted by natural fabrics: cotton, linen and wool. Colors that can balance the “passionate nature” of Marsala: turquoise in tandem with white

Curtains, bedspreads and pillows, upholstery of soft headboards – in the bedroom, wine marsala can play any role – both the main and the secondary

An unobtrusive union: Marsala and aqua

The classic coloristic pair of red and green for the difficult half-tones Marsala transformed into a winning game with aqua. Identical in lightness, burgundy and greenish-blue colors form a pleasant shade range, suitable for any interior style.

Aqua in a triad with dark gray and sepia creates a calm backdrop for bright splashes of wine red, filling the living room interior with bright accords

The perceived cool tone of the sea wave acts as a spectacular background for the warm and rich cherry-pomegranate facade of the kitchen

Extravagant colors for the living room: the accent wall with niches is painted in the shade of Marsala, the ceiling is in navy blue, the role of a neutral tone is played by white in combination with vanilla

Thanks to the presence of a wine-red tone both on the walls and on the ceiling, the hallway area has turned into a cozy chamber, in which Chinese porcelain with a terracotta-blue pattern looks an expressive accent

Natural duo: Marsala plus green

Vineyards dotted with pomegranate bunches, surrounded by olive groves – this is a landscape of Sicily, where the color of sun-scorched vegetation subtly combines with burgundy tones. Nature itself gives us an aesthetic combination of wine red Marsala with muted olive and herbaceous shades..

Delicate plant branches on the walls and a dusty olive shade of the upholstery of the chairs organically coexist with the wine-colored curtain textiles

Combining with rustic wood, terracotta red Marsala contrasts in an original way with bluish gray textiles, while pistachio and white details refresh the somewhat gloomy atmosphere of the bedroom

Outrageous color schemes with Marsala color

The exclusivity of the wine-cherry shade of Marsala allows it to be present in non-standard color schemes: both as a background and as an accent tone. A whirlwind of colors, among which Marsala feels quite comfortable, includes rich scarlet, blue, light green and yellow colors.

Ethnic print, aged metal, animal skins, man-made lamps and abstract painting – such an extraordinary mix does not “bother” the color of Marsala at all – it can organically blend into any interior style, including eclecticism

The combination of muted purple walls and milky upholstered furniture is a favorable backdrop for bright blotches of raspberry red, pink and marsala

The intricacies of shades, among which are dominated by pomegranate-wine tones in conjunction with pistachio and blue, brings to the interior a touch of extravagance, balancing on the verge of shocking
