Regency-Inspired Artwork: How to Bring Bridgerton Style to Your Home

The Bridgerton aesthetic

Since season one back in 2020, the ‘Bridgerton aesthetic’ has become quite the diamond of the season. A modern take on the Regency era, Bridgerton celebrates scandalous gossip, yearning and romance, classical twists on iconic modern pop music and, most of all, its breathtaking interior and set design. Bridgerton interiors step away from the historically muted and stripped-back Regency style often seen in period dramas inspired by the era, instead creating a sparkling, whimsical and ethereal world. Exquisitely detailed and romantic, this elevated interpretation of the time period enhances the plot and adds an extra layer of magic.

 

 

A modern take on Regency design

Bridgerton interiors excel at modernising traditional Regency design, where historical elegance meets contemporary flair. While there are elements of conventional Georgian design, these are paired with drama, maximalism and an abundance of pattern and colour. Pinterest has reported a 133 per cent increase in searches for gilded mirrors and a 400 per cent increase in searches for damask wallpaper, reflecting a wider cultural shift. We are moving away from strict minimalism and instead romanticising everyday life, becoming more careful and curated with our choices in both design and fashion. The Regencycore trend, inspired by Bridgerton, is the perfect way to embrace this slower, more intentional way of living.

One of Pinterest’s predicted trends for 2026 is the opera aesthetic, and this theatrical style truly comes alive in Bridgerton. Think tapestries, botanical and floral patterns, velvet drapery and delicate lace, paired with antique furniture, gold metals and Regency-inspired artwork. While these graceful and expressive interiors may seem overwhelming at first, there are plenty of ways to incorporate elements of the Georgian period into a modern home without overdoing it.

 

 

 

The Bridgerton family home

When you envisage the world of Bridgerton, it is impossible not to think of the Bridgerton family home. Warm, welcoming and full of life, it is the true heart of the show. Its classic architecture reflects the heritage of Regency design, with delicate lines and fine detailing that feel refined rather than extravagant. Nothing is overly ornate, yet everything feels considered and elegant.

The decor mirrors the family themselves: classic, ‘old money’ and quietly luxurious. Decorative wall mouldings and chandeliers create a sense of grandeur, complemented by a pastel blue and violet colour palette that feels bright, fresh and timeless. The Bridgerton home also features a strong presence of antique wood, from the grand piano to cabinets, tables and chairs. Many of these pieces are likely crafted from elm wood, a durable material with a beautiful grain that was particularly popular during the Georgian period.

 

 

The Featherington house

At the opposite end of the spectrum sits the Featherington house. More theatrical and expressive in its design, it is bold, loud and unapologetically maximalist. Black and gold furniture is a defining feature, paired with lime green wallpaper, yellow-painted walls and antique gold and brass details.

This interior style closely mirrors the Featheringtons’ fashion choices: an all-or-nothing approach where no pattern or colour is off limits. While it may not be to everyone’s taste, this vibrant and eccentric aesthetic is rich in personality and delivers an iconic sense of drama and flair.

 

 

Introducing Regency elements into a modern home

There are many features of Regency style that can be translated into modern interiors, one of the most enduring being the ritual of getting ready. Much like today, this was often the most anticipated part of an event. As seen in Bridgerton, dedicated vanity spaces play a central role in ‘the season’, with endless balls and social occasions to prepare for.

Creating a defined getting-ready area instantly makes a space feel intentional and curated. To lean into Bridgerton style, choose pieces with warm wood finishes and visible craftsmanship. Antique furniture works beautifully here and is becoming increasingly popular in modern homes. Start with one key piece, such as a mirror, trinket box or set of drawers, and build your space around it in a romantic, Bridgerton-esque way.

 

 

Wallpaper, panelling and layered detail

Wallpaper is a defining feature of upper-class Regency interiors and remains one of the easiest ways to channel the era today. There are plenty of modern designs that still feel timeless, focusing on background colour and intentional prints that complement the rest of the room. To evoke Bridgerton, look for mural-style wallpapers that feel soft, whimsical and detailed.

Inspired by the Bridgerton home, a delicate violet wallpaper with a subtle gold crest feels elegant and refined. In contrast, the Featherington house embraces bright lime green wallpaper that is lively and spirited while still rich in intricate detail. Panelling is another key design characteristic of Georgian homes, particularly in upper-class interiors, where it symbolised luxury and romance inspired by the French Renaissance. The Featherington house pairs sage green panelling with its bold wallpaper, while the Bridgertons opt for powder blue panelling to complement violet tones, adding depth and visual interest.

 

 

Finding your diamond of the season

When it comes to channelling Bridgerton, no space is complete without its diamond of the season. Grandeur often begins with a statement piece, whether that is velvet drapery, a four-poster bed or a carved antique chest, offering a natural starting point for the rest of the room.

Artwork is one of the most effective ways to bring Bridgerton style into your home. During the Regency period, large oil portraits, landscape paintings and Greek-inspired artworks were used to express taste, intellect and social standing. For a modern interpretation, look for floral and botanical pieces that feel enchanting and rich in delicate detail, reflecting the era’s admiration for classical learning, romance and refinement.
