With the anticipation building for the second part of Netflix's Bridgerton Season 3, experts at Catawiki, a leading online marketplace for unique secondhand items, offer their top advice for bringing Bridgerton's charm into your home.
Although the series is set in the Regency era, the interiors of the Bridgerton sets exude opulence, featuring rich tones, pastel blues, golden accents, sumptuous fabrics, and classical ornaments. Catawiki's Antiques Expert Leonne van Bakel explains, "Classic-inspired interiors like Regency have always been adored and remain timeless. Regency-core, a modern interpretation of this style, has gained immense popularity in recent years, blending the glamour, refined colour palettes, and regal patterns of the Regency period with a contemporary twist."

Following the buzz surrounding the second season of the Regency drama Bridgerton on Netflix in March 2022, Catawiki observed a surge of interest in Regency-style interior pieces, with searches for "Regency" objects increasing by 60% in the week following the release. Since the series debuted in late 2020, library stairs, a gilded ceiling lamp, and a gilded coffee table have been among the most sought-after items on Catawiki.
In response to the recent episodes of the series, van Bakel offers simple tips to capture the essence of Bridgerton's trends:
Statement pieces
Incorporating one or two neoclassical statement pieces like a guild mirror, Regency-style sofa, or a chandelier can infuse your space with a subtle Regency ambiance.
Luxurious fabrics
Fabrics play a pivotal role in Bridgerton, both in extravagant costumes and lavish interiors. Introducing luxurious textiles such as curtains and cushions with intricate designs can evoke the opulent feel of luxury.
Opt for powders
Choosing powder blues or greens is a simple way to recreate the elegance of the Regency era at home. These soft colors bring a touch of timeless sophistication while blending seamlessly with other interior styles.
Regency hosting
Not everything needs to be on display. Investing in silverware pieces can add a Bridgerton charm to dinner parties, taking inspiration from Lady Danbury's legendary soirées known for their prominent silver tableware, fine china, and crystal.
