Netflix’s Bridgerton has captivated our screens since its debut in 2020 with its English Regency era-inspired romance. To match the romance, each season features a backdrop of opulent and maximalist interiors which match the sumptuous costumes of the period. With the popularity of the show continuing to win fans over with each new season, expect to see the rise of Regency-core on social media. 

Known as one of the most glamorous eras of design, the Regency period is not afraid to be bold with its mix of colour, wall panelling, luxurious details and lots of floral prints. Just like the wardrobe of many characters on the show, choosing the right colour palette is key to nailing this look. When it comes to choosing the right floral print, think less dated 80s florals and more chintz. Chintz-style florals also pay homage to the multi-cultural casting of the show, as its woodblock prints originate from India. Introducing florals prints through wallpaper ties in with the other hot interior trend - colour drenching which is where the entire wall, skirting boards and panelling are one colour.

As we’re on the subject of walls, wall panelling also plays a key role - almost like a main character! It’s not just Lady Whistledown’s gossip that’s getting the attention of many, a room adorned with ornate, chic wall panels will surely be the talk of the town. Get the regency-core look by dividing the feature wall into two - introduce wall panelling to the bottom half of the wall and wallpaper to the top half of the wall.   

Aside from wall panelling, choosing the right wallpaper adds to the regal element, which we feel Queen Charlotte will approve. Stripes are a classic pick and complement the wall panelling, giving the space a refined feel. 

If you want to make your space feel like those debutante balls on the Netflix show, make a statement with elegant lighting. A statement chandelier is the way to go in the living or dining room, while vintage-inspired lampshades may be just what you need for a reading nook or study. Don’t be afraid to add gold or silver accents with the help of a coffee or side table. Even though this trend has aristocratic roots, don’t feel pressured to blow your budget on expensive pieces. If you love all things vintage, you may just find your dream piece at an antique market or car boot sale. 

It’s also about the small details. Layer rich fabrics and patterns such as embroidery, velvet, silk, and diamanté embellishments alongside contemporary furniture and clean lines to modernise your space. You can also try upcycling old pieces like a dining chair a new lease of life by upholstering the fabric or varnishing the wood.
