One of the emerging trends from 2021 that has galloped from a niche style into the daylight of mainstream is called Royalcore, influenced mainly by lockdown, binge-worthy series such as The Crown and Bridgerton. Now Netflix's hit series, Bridgerton, is back for an eagerly-awaited second series to inject even more excitement into this interior design trend.
The look incorporates luxury, opulence and regalia and shows no sign of slowing down, especially with 2022 also the year of the Queen's platinum jubilee. How regal you want to go depends on how posh you are feeling, but you can indulge in this trend by just dipping your toe in the water with sumptuous fabrics and ornate gold accessories, or you can take the plunge and dive right in with all out opulence.
Although this renaissance of 19th century style wrapped in a royal wrapper is naturally suited to period properties, design director and founder of Anne Haimes Interiors says royalcore and regency influences can work in any home. Just choose what works for you and what you love, and introduce a sprinkling of a Bridgerton-inspired aesthetic into your home via some or all of these suggestions.
