10 Regency-Inspired Rooms That Are Giving Us Serious ‘Bridgerton’ Vibes

This New Delhi home, first shown in our November 2013 issue, may have been built from scratch, but it still has plenty of 18th-century panache, thanks to ELLE DECOR A-Lister Jean-Louis Deniot. Here, the drawing room includes custom sofas, a table by Collection Deniot, as well as 18th-century-style wall paneling designed by Deniot.

The hallway walls of interior designer Alidad’s London home are sheathed in suede with braided detailing. The ceiling lantern is antique, and the carpet is by Roger Oates. “I’m not really after what’s current,” the designer told us in our November 2013 issue. “If my work looks good in 20 years’ time, that means I’ve been successful.”

In 2018, we paid a visit to Baronscourt, a historic estate in Northern Ireland decorated by legend David Hicks in the 1970s. Here, in the primary bedroom, the Edwardian furnishings are from the Duchess of Abercorn’s family home in Bedfordshire, England.

The mint green orangery designed by Philip Vergeylen includes mirror-backed trellis work and a chandelier with crystals and amethysts. Though we showed the room in our March 2020 issue, we think it’d make the perfect venue for Bridgerton gossip. It’s easy to imagine Eloise Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington rehashing events from the previous night’s ball.

The staircase in the David Hicks–designed home, Baronscourt, features portraits of the Duke of Abercorn’s ancestors along the upper walls. You truly can’t beat the real thing when it comes to Regency decor!

In New Delhi, Jean-Louis Deniot created a sitting room fit for a queen just off his client’s primary bedroom suite. Here, the daybed is English, and the secretary and cocktail table are both custom designs.

Though the decor of Baronscourt is more than four decades old, thanks to David Hicks the sitting room still feels fresh with its bright orange sofa. The portrait (left) is by Sir Thomas Lawrence.
