Bridgerton Regency Era Elegance

Toast to the ton in true Bridgerton style

Netflix’s hit drama has us inspired! Not just for the next instalment of series 3 which airs in one week, but also for the romantic and regal style oozing from every interior scene. The homes in Bridgerton display key features of Regency home interiors, including grandeur and elegance.

Lasting only nine years, from 1811 to 1820, The Regency era is recognised for classic principles, stunning architecture and opulent décor. As we await the concluding episodes, we have gathered our top interior design tips to create modern regency design in your own home (sitting rooms, bedrooms fit for a queen, ballroom, card room etc).

Sumptuous Fabrics:

• Opt for luxurious materials like silk and velvet for upholstery for sofas and armchairs.
• Incorporate brocade or damask patterns on pillows and bedding.
• Use floral rugs and carpets to add warmth and texture.
• Complement with: Rastrelli Herringbone Engineered Wood Flooring.

Rastrelli is a rich, honey oak colour with the added interest of a visible grain. Part of our Strada collection, the 20mm engineered planks or herringbone blocks have a 6mm wear making them exceptionally hardwearing. Meaning they will stand the test of time – or any Bridgeton ball to be held for that matter!

Chandeliers and Lighting:

• Statement chandeliers bring the drama. Look to vintage-inspired designs to achieve this look.
• Hang ornate mirrors and incorporate frames to enhance the regal feel.
• Use more traditional lighting fixtures such as wall lights or lanterns to layer your lighting.
• Complement with: Caramel Narrow Herringbone, Ted Todd Project collection.

Regency-Inspired Colours and Patterns:

• Embrace a vibrant regal colour palette with rich blues, soft pastels, and earthy tones.
• Mix and match antique furniture pieces with straight lines and sabre legs for authenticity.
• Add an element of timeless elegance with Regency-inspired wallpaper.
• Complement with: Satchel Plank Engineered Wood Flooring.

Regency Wood Flooring

• The Georgian era (1714-1830) saw diverse architectural styles (Palladian, Neoclassical, Georgian Gothic) shaping wood flooring designs.
• Initially, wide hand-hewn planks were favoured, combining rustic and refined aesthetics.
• Over time, narrower boards and fixed-width planks became prevalent.
• Mahogany graced upscale homes for its dark elegance, while Baltic fir and pine were common in more modest residences.

A Connection with Nature

• Regency interiors incorporated large windows and skylights.
• People wanted to be in touch with nature, and this was reflected in their homes by maximising the natural light.
• Cleverly placed mirrors opposite windows reflected both light and the foliage outside, bringing nature indoors.
