January Furniture Show
19-22 January 2025
Claiming the title of Netflix’s most-watched original of all time shortly after its premiere (63 million households and counting), it’s of little surprise that with the popularity of the show, so too grew the prevalence of Regency-era styles.
Google searches for interiors inspired by the period grew an astounding 9,500%, whilst the term ‘corsets’ saw an upshot of 123% and 'empire line dresses' by 93%. The show’s soundtrack, which features orchestral covers of contemporary songs has more than 250,000 followers and luxury online furniture retailer, The French Bedroom Company, reported a 25% increase in sales of four-poster beds and ornate gold furniture - with customers specifically requesting the ‘Bridgerton Look’.
Dubbed Cottagecore’s more regal cousin by many forecasters, Regencycore embodies the same sense of whimsy, but in a far more polished way. Much like the show, fans of the style do not pride themselves on historical accuracy, rather taking inspiration to create a unique reimagining of the era’s opulence, charm, and sense of occasion.
With 8 books in the Bridgerton series, it seems the Regency Revolution is here to stay… fortunately the sophisticated textures, colour palette, patterns and details associated with the period are the very definition of timeless.
So, this is how you can embrace the style in your own designs, store or space:
