The launch of Bridgerton Season 2 has us dreaming about those swoon-worthy regency interiors all over again.

We pulled together some of our favourite styles that take their lead from the era to put a contemporary spin on the Bridgerton Effect. 

Inspired by the best-selling novels by Julia Quinn, the binge-worthy period drama which follows two competing families—the Bridgertons and the Featheringtons — was a veritable feast for the eyes.
Set in the extravagant bedrooms and drawing rooms of the upper echelons of society during Recency Era London, the set’s décor was a lavish assembly of ornate gilded frames and opulent jabot draperies; plush upholstery, ebonised wood and grand marquetry tables.

And although the frothy, fluffy Regency aesthetic didn’t exactly lend itself to a sweltering Australian summer, as winter approaches the trend is finally having a moment here, particularly in the bedroom — which is of course, where our interest lies.

While the founding elements of the regency trend are most noticeable in the sophisticated, sultry bed chambers on screen, it should be noted that the bedroom style in Bridgerton adds a quirky modern twist on the traditional regal theme.

If you want to be the talk of Lady Whistledown’s report for your high society style, we love the timelessness of our Medina Bed Head. This style, which has been updated in a new palette, redefines modern luxury with soft fabric upholstery and subdued creamy-golden hue to have you sleeping like a Queen, or at least a Duchess, every night.

Other hallmarks of the trend we love this season include the deep-buttoned detailing — as exquisitely showcased on our Alice and Kensington bed heads as well as the brass studding on our Hampton bed head.

If you prefer to reference regency core with your colourway, powdery pastels and romantic petal-heavy floral prints also echo the look, such as sky blue velvet our Hampton bed head, the soft willow linen of the Astor bed head and our Madame Butterfly Linen, as seen on the Ralston bed head.

For a more subtle take on the trend, you could also look to this season’s curved edges to exude a regal sophistication that is sure to last the test of times as showcased on our dramatic Empire, Monet or Giselle bed heads, or  alternatively, try layering your bedding with plenty of plump and soft textures.
