Does anyone still decorate their house in burgundy and hunter green? Do these two colors go together well? Thanks.

Both of these can be considered "earth" tones because of their dark nature, and that a component of the hue is a bit of the "opposite" to dull the purity.
Because of this, these two can compliment each other very well, as ANY two earth tone will. (slate and ocher, etc)
The emphasis of one of these, over the othe will determine the mood, or direction of the decor. Large surfaces of burgandy, such as drapes, or rugs or larger uphoulstry will make the room warm, while an emphasis on the green will cool things down a taste.
Whatever you do with these colorss, make sure that you emphasise one more than the other. The less dominant color will be the accent. When you go about choosing fabrics and coatings, make sure you consider how they appear in natural light AND under the room's own illumination.
Remember, there are no absolute rules in color. A question like "Does anyone" do this, or that, anymore is meaningless. If everyone did it one way, then who could claim to be unique and original? Fashions and trends change when someone breaks OUT of what everyone else is doing.

I have one of my bathrooms in those colors. It's a fishing theme. I love it. I also have my house trimmed in hunter green and I wouldn't call it burgundy but maybe maroon door. It looks nice.

They do really go together well. When I've seen them together they've been in a country setting or a library setting. To break it up I'd use the color that I like most and pair it with a creamy color. Than I'd bring in the other color in the pillows, rug and other accent pieces. Have fun withit,though, you're the one who has to live with it.

Yes they do go together well, but, not many people still decorate with just those two colors, or not alot of just those two colors.

i have a very large kitchen and i have 2 walls a hunter green and the other 2 walls a lighter green - the ceiling and all the trim is white. it looks great. everyone who walks into my kitchen loves it . i was nervous about the dark green, but with the lighter green and the white trim it all comes together beautifully.

I think they would be great together and could pick up various shades of pink and lighter greens in decorations.

yes, they go together, but they are both rather dark colors. I would pick one or the others, balance it with a cream or beige and use the third color for accents in the room

I always thought of those colors as a pre-millenium trend. You should choose one and pair it with a neutral.
