Are we in the Bridgerton Era?

In her latest blog, our Head of Interiors, Laura Baarda, talks about incorporating Regency styling into interior design as Bridgerton fever sweeps the nation.

Who hasn’t caught Bridgerton fever or knows someone who’s obsessed with it? Every year, we visit Chelsea Harbour to source the latest fabrics, furniture, and lighting for our clients, keeping an eye on emerging trends in the interior design world. This year, we couldn’t help but notice—we are indeed in the Bridgerton Regency era, and I’m absolutely thrilled!

Interior design is embracing a resurgence of English country charm. Gone are the days of stark, monochromatic interiors and geometric patterns. Instead, we’re seeing softer, more botanical themes with rich, layered colours and intricate patterns. This English country aesthetic, reminiscent of a British version of Nancy Meyers’ films, is all the rage on TikTok and among influencers like Lydia Millen, who beautifully captures the essence of English country life. Naturally, our interiors are following suit.

Here Are Three Elements of the Bridgerton Interiors Era:

Accents: I can’t contain my excitement over the use of trims! I’ve always loved how trimming adds layers and a tailored edge to interiors. Last year, trims adorned wall details and feature walls. This year, they’re everywhere—on cushions, lampshades, sofas, and chairs. Bullion and fringe trims are adding texture and interest to furnishings, echoing the timeless elegance of National Trust properties.

Palette: The colour schemes are wonderfully versatile, allowing you to personalise your space. The trend report from last year still holds true—soft dusty blues, greens, and pink accents dominate, creating a fresh and inviting palette for any interior.

Patterns: The pattern options are endless and stunning! Bold botanical and floral prints serve as the perfect backdrop for layered schemes, softened with smaller prints and block colours. Adding opulent trims to cushions and contemporary geometric prints ensures the design feels modern rather than dated. Gingham is making a delightful comeback, ideal for those who find botanical prints too overwhelming. It adds a fantastic English country vibe, especially when used for pleated furniture skirts, creating texture and interest with ease.

Following last year’s FOURcast blog post with our residential interior trend predictions, this theme has been on the horizon for a while. The increase in blue and green tones this season, paired with ditsy prints, perfectly suits these bold schemes where a mix of scales is essential. I’m absolutely in love with this glorious celebration of English country interiors—long may it last!
