With Bridgerton back on our screens this week, our attention is on the series' creator and producer, Shonda Rhimes, and interestingly, her home reflects some of the Regency elements that you may have spotted in the show – in the case of her NYC living room, that's pattern layering.
Her statement chinoiserie wallpaper is a nod to the decadent Regency style (which influenced a subsequent Hollywood Regency style offshoot trend), and similar prints can be spotted in many of the homes featured in Bridgerton. Original examples would have been hand-painted, featuring East Asian exotic birds and flowers as a symbol of wealth.
