Do you want your home to look like the Bridgerton family home? Are you constantly searching for how to get Russell family furniture? We have the solution for you!
They are two successful series that take place in the same period, in England and New York respectively and take us back to the 1880s – 1890s and the Victorian era. At that time the currents of naturalism and impressionism prevailed with all the elements referring to brilliance, luxury and exaggeration.
Taking a look at the Bridgerton and “Gilded Age” series, we realize a maximalist mood in clothes, hair and decoration.
The protagonists live in villas, the roofs of their houses are decorated with large chandeliers, gold inscriptions adorn the walls, while we can not overlook the imposing velvet sofas and the decoration that undoubtedly refers to wealth and exaggeration. The only thing that has no place is anything that has the identity of simple and minimal.
The display of luxurious interiors created a large current that turned its interest to the acquisition of antique objects and furniture.
In fact, the hashtags #royalcore and #regencycore were created on Tik Tok, which garnered a total of about 300 million views, while the Etsy.com website recorded a 25% increase in product searches that refer to the ancient English style. Candlesticks, floral wallpapers, tea sets, furniture and antiques are some of the most frequently searched searches by Google algorithm in recent times, especially after the release of the second season of Bridgerton.
Decorate the walls of your house
If you want your home to have Victorian influences, do not leave the walls empty. A textured wallpaper with gold details or large imposing paintings will carry the aura and design of this era directly to your home. The monochrome is avoided and is explicitly replaced.
Buy natural flowers
The elements of nature always give a nice energy to the house, that’s why they were not missing from any villa of that time. In addition to the manicured garden, make sure that there are no real flower arrangements in every space, especially in the hall and the living room. The numerous vases with real flowers also give a sense of luxury to the interior decoration and refer to the Victorian design. Flowers in general are an element that stars even in fabrics, curtains, wallpapers, carpets.
Place candlesticks and antiques
A Victorian house would not lack candlesticks but also objects of great value, such as antiques. At this point you probably realize that you are lucky enough, because you do not need to spend enough money neither for antiques nor for candlesticks. There are several stores with second hand decorative, economical and timeless. You need to spend time looking for enough but definitely the decorations that will transform your modern home into a Victorian one.
Invest in imposing chandeliers
Even better if you live in a house with a high ceiling. A large chandelier decorated with various stones is perhaps the trademark of that time. We see it in houses, villas, entertainment venues and palaces. It is an object that even reflects the financial situation of a family. If you are lucky enough to be given a chandelier by a relative from the past, otherwise there are many shops and vintage shops where such treasures are hidden, but they do not stay for long. Hurry up!
Renew your dining items
You will have noticed that every morning all the members of the family gather to enjoy the first meal of the day. The question, however, is where and how they enjoy it. The way breakfast is served, on an embossed and impressive tablecloth, with gold or silver cutlery, crystal glasses and embossed plates and glasses, is quite enviable. Without interfering with big changes, you can adopt elements that refer to this impressively elegant era by renewing a tableware or the linens of your dining room.
