This exuberant and opulent trend is all about celebrating luxury and will give the ladies of Bridgerton a run for their money.
We all like to indulge in a little luxury when winding down at home. Whether it’s treating ourselves to a fancy candle or buying fresh flowers every week, it’s important to do things that make us feel like the queens we truly are.
One of the trends encapsulating this is royalcore – a homeware aesthetic inspired by period dramas such as Bridgerton, which embraces all things regal.
The term “royalcore aesthetic” has gained over 316 million views on TikTok, proving that people are taking serious inspiration from lavish TV shows and the interiors they find within them.
Originating from the Belle Époque period of the late 19th century, royalcore is about celebrating opulence at home – and as season 2 of Bridgerton has officially hit our screens, we’ve found nine pieces – from floral wallpaper to velvet curtains – that will have you feeling like you’ve stepped back in time and are truly the lady of the manor.
