The English Regency style at a glance
English Regency covers the early 19th century in Britain, a period of light elegance after Georgian rigor. Walls are covered in striped wallpaper, furniture is slim and slender, and pastel colors, eau de nil, straw yellow or pale pink, bring freshness. A few gilt accents and careful symmetry add refinement.
To adopt it, choose striped wallpaper or a pastel paint, a chaise longue or a sofa on slim legs, and a pair of matching lamps. Fabrics are silky, plain or with small motifs. A gilt mirror above a fireplace or console completes the composition. With Redeko, take a photo of your room and see it in English Regency, with your walls and windows preserved.
This style suits living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms, and sits close to neoclassical and English country styles. A pair of cane chairs is often enough to launch the look. Fresh flowers in a footed bowl add a graceful finishing touch.
