Features

• Red as a color has a great many positive associations, and wine red in particular suggests luxury. Gold symbolizes wealth, but also implies sunshine and summer fields.
  
  

Considerations

• Wine red is a dominant color. Teaming a deep gold with wine red can give a rich look, but this may be too somber for some purposes, while bright gold may be too garish. Instead, you can set off small decorative touches of deep burgundy and pale gold against white or ivory for a look that is luxurious without being too heavy.
  
  

Potential

• Wine velvet cushion covers trimmed with gold can look very inviting. Burgundy ribbons can be tied around gold-colored candles for holiday decorations. Ruby glasses with a little gold decoration can make a striking touch, or try teaming a wine-red glass bowl with golden imitation fruit.
