As we transition into the rich tones of fall, Sherwin-Williams introduces Borscht as its October Color of the Month. This deep, luxurious burgundy red is inspired by the classic Eastern European soup, exuding warmth, character, and sophistication. Whether you’re looking to create a cozy dining room, dramatic powder room, or stunning accent wall, Borscht is the perfect shade for homeowners and designers looking to make a bold statement.

While Borscht is breathtaking as a paint color, its drama can be beautifully extended or substituted with complementary tiles. For those seeking the intense, saturated color of Borscht on a wall surface but with the added texture and resilience of tile, consider the Stripes Garnet 3” x 12” wall tile by WOW USA. Its bold burgundy tone captures the essence of the paint color beautifully, while the tile’s dimensional appearance adds deep movement to any space. To balance a room featuring Borscht on the walls, you’ll want a floor tile that provides a sophisticated contrast. Our top recommendation is Best Tile’s Oak Lane Olmo porcelain wood-look tile. The realistic texture of the oak inspired design introduces an element of natural simplicity and warmth that grounds the depth of Borscht. For a captivating focal point or to add an extra layer of artistic detail, you can introduce a patterned tile like StoneImpressions Celeste in Burgundy. This combination offers a graceful tie-in to Borscht, adding character and interest while maintaining a timeless feel. 

Don’t let the richness and personality of Borscht intimidate you! By balancing its intensity with the right tile, you can highlight its beauty and create a space that truly reflects your style.
