Nursery Design Secrets

Everything You Need To Know About Regency-Style Nurseries And Why They're Trending

 

It’s officially the Regency-style décor season when it comes to nurseries and everyone is cordially invited to give it a go. Want to know more? This trend of the moment is set to make your heart melt every time you step into their room…

What are Regency-style nurseries? 

You’ve heard of cottagecore – the cosy, rustic home design trend that pays homage to Britain’s most charming cottage interiors. But now, Regencycore is set to take the interior design world by storm. Inspired by the Regency Era in Great Britain (1811 to 1820), this saw a huge emphasis on high society events, prestigious interiors and regal glamour. Now, this historic time is being translated into a nursery trend (and we’re its biggest fans), thanks to the influence of Period-stye dramas like Netflix’s recent hit Bridgerton. Cue ornate designs that make grand statements and bold décor that catches your eye immediately. We can’t get enough of Regency-style nurseries...

Why are Regency interiors trending now? 

It’s no surprise that Regency nursery interiors are big news right now. Since Bridgerton Season 2 launched, searches for Period-style staircases have soared, whilst traditional elements like drooping curtains are now back in fashion. Furthermore, we’re certain the royal-inspired trend is hot right now because the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee is coming up. There’s lots to celebrate!

 

Our top Regency-style nursery essentials

  • A statement cot 

Say hello to The Balmoral Cot Bed with its elegantly curved headboards and plush velvet finishing. The centrepiece of any nursery, this is one of those cots that seriously wows, whilst providing the utmost comfort and cosiest structure for your little prince or princess. This will take you from those newborn days to toddler age. 

  • Drooping curtains 

Regency-style curtains are masterpieces themselves. They don’t just droop elegantly – they also typically feature a fringe above them and swanky tie-backs. Looking to recreate the look? Choose our Interior Design Service to get the full Regency nursery treatment or opt for the Grey Liberty Champignons By Casadeco fabric (which can be custom-made into curtains) for a magical makeover.  

  • Large headboards

There’s no place for simple and subtle in a Regency-style nursery or bedroom. That’s why large headboards are leading the way in 2022’s remake of regal rooms. Take a look at the Notte Girls Bed by Savio Firmino with its stunning antique headboard, or for a more stately option, pick the Notte Boys Bed by Savio Firmino

  • Whimsical wallpaper

Add some drama into their room via whimsical wallpaper. The more enchanting and standout, the better. For a traditional and child-like theme, look to the L’Envol Wallpaper in Multicolore, which captures hand painted hot air balloons that’ll whisk you off into a daydream. You can also opt for the same design in fabric form – you’re welcome!
