O en cra ed from dark woods and adorned with Greek and Roman-inspired details like fluted columns and laurel wreaths – Regency-era furnishings ooze extravagance
Aspirational architecture
If you love the Bridgerton look but aren’t sure how to achieve it, simple and affordable design additions can make all of the difference, highlights MacLean.
“In 19th century homes, period features such as panelling, coving, and carvings adorned every wall of the abode – creating intricate details that elevated each space.”
Today, our homes generally come as a blank canvas, meaning adding these details is a super easy, highly effective task. “Affordable panelling kits are available from most DIY retailers, and easy-to-fit decorative coving can be sourced simply online,” says MacLean.
Symmetry
In many of the Bridgerton sets, symmetry also plays a crucial part in dressing the scenes, she adds. “You can establish this in your own home by keeping balance in mind when laying out your spaces,” suggests MacLean. “For example, placing your bed against a wall centrally, and
adding two matching tables either side of it; or placing your TV in the centre of the wall rather than the corner. This will help to build classic tropes in your modern space.”
Grand gardens
Exquisitely grand outdoor spaces including suave shrubbery, quaint patio sets and beautiful blooms are all part of Bridgerton’s bewitchment – but how can you glam up your greenery?
As Andrew White, outdoor expert at luxury outdoor living retailer, Harbour Lifestyle, puts it: “The outdoor scenes show us a glimpse into the grandeur of Regency-era gardens.
“Think sophisticated seating areas to court your romantic interests, enchanting florals and greenery, and charming structures to spend an evening under the stars. And believe it or not, this magnificent style isn’t too difficult to replicate in modern gardens.”
Firstly, he recommends creating zones in your outdoor space. Even though Bridgerton is all about large, stately gardens with multiple areas, White says you can still utilise different spots of a garden to create a diverse space.
“Consider building a patio which is ideal for al fresco dining, placing a pergola to encapsulate a cosy seating area, and nurturing a grassy corner to let your bulbs and blooms thrive.”
In case you missed the memo, the Bridgerton set dressers love wisteria, willow and sweet peas; so even containers of potted summer lilac will beautify a balcony.
“The Regency era was defined by highsociety gatherings and socials – so your outdoor space should have an adequate area to entertain lords and ladies... or your next-door neighbours!” quips White.
Consider a chic patio set, wooden outdoor benches for afternoon tea and whimsical swing seat to spend those intimate evenings together,” he adds.
