Burgundy Is Back: Why Morocco Rissani May Be the Hottest Tile Trend of 2026
Every year, a few colors emerge that seem to capture the mood of the moment. They begin appearing in fashion, design magazines, boutique hotels, and beautifully curated homes. Before long, they're everywhere.
For 2026, one color is already making a strong impression: burgundy.
Rich, warm, and undeniably sophisticated, burgundy is stepping into the spotlight as homeowners move away from cool neutrals and embrace interiors that feel more personal, layered, and expressive. It brings a sense of depth and character that many contemporary spaces have been missing, while remaining timeless enough to live with for years.
It's this growing love for rich, jewel-inspired hues that inspired Morocco Rissani, our newest glossy peel-and-stick tile.
Inspired by the vibrant colors of Morocco and the beauty of handcrafted ceramics, Morocco Rissani captures the essence of traditional glazed tile with a deep wine-colored hue, a luminous glossy finish, and a realistic handcrafted texture. The result is a backsplash that feels both luxurious and welcoming—a rare balance that designers are increasingly seeking.
What makes burgundy so exciting is its versatility.
While it may seem bold at first glance, it behaves almost like a neutral, pairing effortlessly with many of today's most popular materials and finishes.
Alongside warm woods and walnut cabinetry, it creates an atmosphere reminiscent of European kitchens that have evolved beautifully over time. Combined with creamy whites and natural stone, it feels elegant and refined. Add touches of brass or gold, and the space instantly takes on a boutique-hotel quality that feels both current and timeless.
One of our favorite pairings for 2026 is burgundy and green. Whether it's soft sage, olive, or deeper botanical tones, green brings a freshness that perfectly balances the richness of Morocco Rissani. Together, they create interiors that feel warm, organic, and connected to nature.
This versatility allows Morocco Rissani to adapt effortlessly to a variety of decorating styles. In modern organic interiors, it adds warmth and depth. In vintage-inspired spaces, it feels nostalgic and authentic. In eclectic homes, it acts as a rich backdrop for collected objects and meaningful details. Even in contemporary interiors, where clean lines and simplicity dominate, burgundy introduces a welcome sense of personality and emotion.
Perhaps that's why we're seeing a shift away from all-white kitchens and toward spaces that feel more inviting and lived-in. Homeowners are increasingly looking for ways to make their homes feel unique, and color is becoming one of the most powerful tools to achieve that.
Whether used as a kitchen backsplash, a coffee station backdrop, a powder room feature wall, or even a colorful accent in a laundry room, Morocco Rissani has a way of transforming everyday spaces into something memorable.
