Dear kind readers…, there are those who read it in the voice of Lady Whistledown and those who do not know what we are talking about at all. But the RegencyCore trend for decorating homes is now in the midst of its rise: the third season of the series recently came out and has once again proved to be among the most anticipated. But let’s not just dream of meeting a Bridgerton: we can bring a hint of that fairytale atmosphere into our home, but without going overboard. Let’s find out How to decorate home inspired by Bridgerton with the Regency style.
What is Regency Style
I modern times have revolutionized the way we experience the home. This is a necessary premise: we are used to modern, if not minimal, environments, and technology is the big star. Yet, with the Bridgerton series we have rediscovered a taste for attention and care for every detail. First of all, we need to understand what the RegencyCore style is: we are in nineteenth-century England, a phase characterized for a fruitful and fascinating artistic production.
Opulence and good taste made every house a little architectural gem. After all, the RegencyCore is marked by the neoclassical, but with a greater brightness and, most importantly, a boundless elegance. The neighborhood Mayfair in London still remembers the “Regency” period. The arched windows, the bow window, the intention to focus on natural lighting, with refined wrought-iron balconies. Design lovers find this style opulent, yet irresistible: let’s see how to bring it into our homes.
The characteristics of the Regency style
I colors? They are lit, vivid. A succession of pastel shades and sapphire blue, turquoise green. A vibrancy that creates dynamism in homes, adding a greater depth to each room. Let’s forget the shades of modern style, and make room for the shades of prestige. No less important is the furniture, indeed: this is the secret to reproduce the Regency style in your own home.
Obviously, faithfully reproduce the opulence of those years in our homes imprinted with the modern style is not easy, which is why we should always consider the starting design before buying any of the elements that recall the RegencyCore. As for the type of wood used during the Regency era, we find the mahogany, the cherry tree and the rosewood, or “rosewood.”
How to decorate home inspired by Bridgerton
The atmosphere is both romantic and nostalgic, and the goal is to find a balance, harmonizing the current style with a reference to the enchanting past. For a Bridgerton-style house, here are all the indispensable steps.
Consider the starting style
Before considering any element to be introduced, we need to take a look at the starting style, because otherwise the kitsch effect is around the corner. The goal is to avoid a “trivial” result, if not dull: In this case, it might be useful to seek support from an interior designer.
Choosing colors
We can also consider revolutionizing the decor. So the first thing to do is to choose colors, which, as we have seen, are bright, vivid. Turquoise and burgundy are perfect for recreating the Regency atmosphere in your own home., as are emerald green and sapphire blue. Added to these are pastel shades, with which to tone down and create contrasts. Finally, let us not forget the gold color: is the big star.
Regency-style entrance
A technique of home styling very much in vogue at the moment is to target the entryway: it is the area that welcomes us home and that welcomes, instead, our guests. For recreate the Bridgerton atmosphere in the entryway, we have a super chic idea: a console table with mirror, a great classic, among vases and plants that add not only a touch of color, but of sophistication. Unmissable are upholstered chairs, possibly with floral patterns and gold inlays.
RegencyCore style living room
For those who have seen Bridgerton, the living room is the heart of the family home-this is where we find many of the opulent details we have mentioned. I furniture is strictly wooden, with prestigious inlays, the velvet sofa and there is the ever-present fireplace, to create atmosphere and warm up on winter evenings with a cup of good English tea. And it is by playing on these elements that we can recreate the same atmosphere in our home: sofas and armchairs in fine fabrics such as velvet, but pay attention to size. Nothing should be excessive, but rather, despite ostentatious opulence, classy.
Bridgerton-style dining room
English Regency style wallpaper, with floral patterns, wooden table, chairs with padded backs e luxurious chandelier: this is how we imagine the Bridgerton-style dining room in our home. The detail that makes everything even more chic is the chandelier, of course, because it is a reference to the past. Wall lamps with lampshades are another touch not to be underestimated, and they add more charm to the setting.
RegencyCore style bedroom
It can only be romantic: it is the soul of the house, and the style is luxurious thanks to the canopy bed, in which there is no shortage of silk or velvet curtains. Embroidered blankets, walls recall floral patterns or damask motifs, window curtains, mirrors and wooden furniture, with prestigious paintings on the walls. Unmissable is the rug in the center of the room., which covers almost the entire floor, strictly wooden. Final tip: you absolutely can not miss the screen, an understated, elegant and functional piece of furniture.
RegencyCore style furniture complements.
In all rooms, as we have seen, certain elements are repeated, perhaps in a different key: the size of Regency-style furniture is in no way disproportionate, on the contrary. Furnishing a small house in the Bridgerton style is entirely possible for this very reason. Wallpaper is the perfect element for a low-cost RegencyCore style: decorating the walls allows for an opulent effect without spending too much, but pay attention to patterns and prints, which should be damask or floral. Impressive in Regency homes are the draperies: multi-layered, often contrasting with the rest of the room. Not only useful for shielding light when needed, but also for protecting the house from the cold. They played, therefore, a dual function: aesthetics and utility. With the Bridgerton factor, our homes will be more romantic than ever before.
