Burgundy is a deep wine red with quiet tonal movement through the fiber, built for programs where a red needs to read as considered rather than loud. It sits in the S.H.I.F.T. Royal collection, and it delivers the richness of a red carpet moment without the expected red, giving formal and brand-forward events a warmer, more grounded arrival color.
It holds its depth under stage wash, chandelier light, and flash, reading as saturated wine in person and on camera where a brighter red can flatten or bloom. That makes it a strong foundation for galas, award programs, and executive environments where the color should feel established and expensive rather than high-energy.
The Royal Collection
Royal is the brand-match tier. It runs a higher-grade fiber than Standard Event Carpet and, more importantly, a wider and more precise color range, for the moments when a palette has to meet a specific brand standard rather than approximate it. When Standard's color options get near a target without matching it, Royal is where the exact shade lives.
What This Carpet Is Built For
Galas, award programs, and formal receptions | Brand-matched activations in red, wine, and maroon palettes | Fashion, beauty, and luxury product launches | Fall and holiday seasonal programs | Executive receptions and VIP arrivals | Stage approaches and presentation areas | Step-and-repeat and media photo zones | Environments where a red should read rich and grounded rather than bright
Per-Square-Foot Pricing
Royal is priced per square foot at $1.90, not by runner length. Runner sizes are offered for turnkey convenience, but the rate is the same whether the square footage goes toward length or width. Two runners of equal area are priced equally, so a longer, narrower runner for a strategic run and a shorter, wider runner for a deeper footprint carry the same cost. The configuration follows the placement, not the price.
Edge Finishing
Royal carpet ships unbound as standard, with a raw cut edge. For runners and installations where the edge is exposed and visible, bound edge finishing is available at $2.50 per linear foot, quoted on the piece. Binding is recommended for arrival runners and any application where the carpet edge sits in view.
