Have the elegant sets from Bridgerton played their magic on you? As the newest addition to the Netflix series, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story takes us back to the elegance of the Regency period. From the royal walls that carry paintings of proud rulers to the sophisticated antiques that dot the corners of the palace, Queen Charlotte’s palace, Buckingham House, has many design elements that will add an old-world charm to your home. Here, we have put together a few decor-related ideas for you to take inspiration from.
1. Choose those fairytale pastels: A light pastel blue, Wedgewood is favourite of the royals. Both Queen Charlotte’s palace and the Bridgerton family home are sprinkled with elegant hues of this beautiful ceramic shade. Other pastel colours like lilac, faded olive, and cream can also give a subtle regal look to your walls.
2. Bring home some vintage accessories: Did you notice the tiny frames and perfectly placed saucers on the side cabinets in the series? Accessories play a significant role in the Regency period's interior design. Small details such as ornate vintage mirrors and beautifully framed art pieces can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any room. These little accents draw the eye and create a focal point in your living space.
3. Decorate using rich textiles: The sets in Bridgerton use fabrics like silk and velvet to elevate a space. You can layer these rich textiles into a luxurious masterpiece, like velvet sheets draped over chairs and sofas to create a cosy and inviting atmosphere.
4. Add floral arrangements: You’ll notice flowers in the background of every scene in the show. You too can bring the power of nature into your house through flowers. Decorate your living and bedroom spaces with a combination of greens and statement blooms like lavenders and magnolia to lift your spirits.
5. Invest in dramatic drapes: Dramatic drapes were a significant feature of the interior design in this era. The use of rich fabrics and intricate detailing on the curtains can create a sense of grandeur and sophistication in your home.
6. Pay attention to the details: Brass door handles, old cabinet knobs, and carved wooden pieces can transform your furniture. These finer details play a crucial role in creating a Regency-inspired space. Visit a local thrift market or antique store to get your hands on treasured finds.
