Steamy romance on Netflix’s Bridgerton show may be heating up our screens, but it’s also the on-screen interiors that are now the talk of the town (and the internet). Amthal Karim, Head of Design at Furniture And Choice, shares 3 ways you can update the interior of your home with Regency-themed, Bridgerton-inspired designs.
Embrace Your Romantic Side with Pastels
Netflix’s Bridgerton has captivated our screens since its debut with its English Regency-era-inspired romance. To match the romance, each season features a backdrop of opulent and maximalist interiors that match the sumptuous costumes of the period. With the show’s popularity 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 color, wall paneling, and luxurious details. Just like the wardrobe of many characters on the show, choosing a pastel color palette is key to nailing this look. Think light pink, lilac, or Wedgwood Blue after the fine china brand. Tie this in with the other hot interior trend – color drenching, where the entire wall, skirting boards, and paneling are one color.

As we’re on the subject of walls, wall paneling also plays a key role – almost like a main character! 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 paneling to the bottom half of the wall and wallpaper to the top half of the wall.
Go for a floral or botanical wallpaper print for a striking focal point. For the living room, we used I Love Wallpaper’s ‘Beautiful Birds’ print with whimsical duck egg blue tones that are perfect for Regency-core. This is an impactful way to introduce chinoiserie (classic East meets West motifs) and is reminiscent of the posh garden rooms and orangeries of that era.

Sparkle with Luxe Decorative Details
If you want to make your interior 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. 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 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, and diamanté embellishments alongside contemporary furniture and clean lines to modernize your space. You can also try upcycling old pieces like a dining chair by upholstering the fabric or varnishing the wood.
