From Instagram
From the elegant blue drawing rooms of the Bridger From the elegant blue drawing rooms of the Bridgertons and the gloriously flamboyant Featherington interiors to Lady Danbury's richly layered house, royal palaces and dazzling ballrooms, Bridgerton has redefined Regency style for a new generation.

Across four seasons (to date), the series has shown that period interiors don't have to feel dusty or restrained. Antique furniture, chandeliers, chinoiserie, floral fabrics, gilded mirrors and sumptuous colour palettes combine with a fresh, modern energy that sparked the rise of "Regencycore".

More recently, the world continued to evolve with beautifully realised new interiors, including the austere Cowper House, Kate and Anthony's richly detailed private apartment and Penelope and Colin's romantic new home, each reflecting the personalities and journeys of the characters who inhabit them.

Even the dog beds are worth noting.

As the Set Decorators Society of America has announced its Television Awards nominations for 2025-2026, we're celebrating one of television's most influential interior design successes. The nomination for Best Achievement in Décor/Design of a One Hour Period Series recognises Set Decorator Natalie Papageorgiadis SDSA alongside Production Designer Alison Gartshore.

Whether you're dreaming of a Wedgwood-inspired drawing room, a Featherington-worthy riot of colour or simply love spotting beautiful furniture on screen, Bridgerton continues to offer endless inspiration.

📺 All four seasons are streaming on Netflix.

Palm Royale is a glorious celebration of colour, p Palm Royale is a glorious celebration of colour, pattern and unapologetic glamour: the vine-covered Dellacorte mansion, the Palm Royale club, bold mid-century modern homes, snow-covered Alpine retreats and jewel-box apartments.

Inspired by the world captured by society photographer Slim Aarons and the exuberant interiors of legendary decorators Tony Duquette and Billy Baldwin, every room is layered with rattan, chinoiserie, lacquer, tropical florals, bold wallpapers and vintage treasures. Season 2 expands that world even further, revealing more of the spectacular 12,000-square-foot Dellacorte mansion, built as one interconnected set so the camera could glide effortlessly from room to room. It also introduces Dinah's striking mid-century California home, bringing a fresh modernist contrast to Palm Beach's traditional opulence.

As we look ahead to the announcement of the 2026 SDSA Television Awards winners, we're celebrating one of television's most dazzling period worlds. Palm Royale is among the nominees for Best Achievement in Décor/Design of a One Hour Period Series, recognising the work of Set Decorator Ellen Reede SDSA and Production Designer Jon Carlos.

Whether your taste leans towards tropical maximalism, glamorous entertaining or colourful mid-century style, Palm Royale is packed with interiors inspiration.

📺 Both seasons are now streaming on Apple TV+.

🎬 Keep Your Cool: A Film Lover's Guide to Survivin 🎬 Keep Your Cool: A Film Lover's Guide to Surviving a Heatwave (Part 3/3)

Still feeling the heat?

Cinema has plenty more survival strategies.

☂️ 1. Take a seat outside

When the house gets too warm, move outdoors.

Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing transforms a sweltering Brooklyn street into the neighbourhood's living room with chairs on the pavement, parasols and an unforgettable blast from a fire hydrant. 
Edward Scissorhands offers a more suburban solution, with colourful barbecues and neighbours gathering in pastel gardens.

🛁 2. Take a cool bath... or a shower

Few directors love a bath quite like Wes Anderson. From The Royal Tenenbaums and The Grand Budapest Hotel to Asteroid City and The Phoenician Scheme, bathing becomes a place for reflection, conversation and cooling off. Or follow Barbie's lead and enjoy a waterless shower, preferably at home rather than checking into the Bates Motel in Psycho.

🎬 Keep Your Cool: A Film Lover's Guide to Survivin 🎬 Keep Your Cool: A Film Lover's Guide to Surviving a Heatwave (Part 2/3)

Still searching for ways to beat the heat? Cinema has a few final suggestions...

❄️ 1. Cool off at the fridge

We've all stood in front of an open fridge hoping for a blast of cold air.

Cinema has turned that everyday habit into something far more memorable. Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown sees Marisa (Rossy de Palma) spend plenty of time in the kitchen as the refrigerator becomes the busiest place in the house during a heatwave. 
May December transforms a simple catering dilemma into one of the film's funniest moments, as Gracie (Julianne Moore) quietly panics: "I don't think we have enough hot dogs." 
Requiem for a Dream takes the idea to the opposite extreme, turning Sara Goldfarb's (Ellen Burstyn) refrigerator into a terrifying hallucination. 
Then there's The Shining, where Wendy Torrance (Shelley Duvall) locks Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) inside the Overlook Hotel's walk-in cold store.

👕 2. Wander around the house with your shirt off

When temperatures climb, even film costumes surrender.

Elio (Timothée Chalamet) in Call Me by Your Name, and Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan) in Saltburn, embrace a wardrobe of shorts, swimwear and very little else. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best one.

🛒 3. And if all else fails...

Head to the supermarket.

Or at least somewhere with powerful air conditioning, something we're still not terribly accustomed to here in the UK.

Drive, starring Ryan Gosling, and High-Rise, remind us that sometimes the coolest place in town isn't at home at all.

Which film sets you on fire?

As record temperatures sweep across the UK and Europe, we're taking inspiration from the silver screen.

When the mercury rises, film characters know exactly what to do. They stretch out on a sun lounger, linger over long lunches and seek out the coolest table in the shade.

☀️ 1. Stretch out on a sun lounger

Sometimes the best response to soaring temperatures is to stop fighting them altogether.

Atonement, Call Me by Your Name and Saltburn all embrace the languid rhythm of summer, with long afternoons spent reading, swimming and reclining on loungers beneath the sun.

🍽️ 2. Dine al fresco

Meals somehow taste better outdoors.
Whether it's poolside lunches in La Piscine or Jacques Tati's perfectly ordered garden in Mon Oncle, these films remind us that the best dining room in summer is often outside.

🌳 3. Find a café by the water... or beneath the trees
Not every cooling strategy requires a swimming pool.

From Cary Grant seeking refuge at a waterfront restaurant in To Catch a Thief to the idyllic alfresco lunch in Speak No Evil before everything takes a darker turn, these films prove the coolest seat is usually the one in the shade.

👉 Tomorrow: pavement gatherings, cool baths, fridge therapy and other cinematic ways to survive the heat.

Designers in Film No. 7: Arne Jacobsen A look at Designers in Film No. 7: Arne Jacobsen

A look at some of Arne Jacobsen's most enduring designs on screen.

Arne Jacobsen Cutlery (1957) (pics 1&2). Designed more than a decade before 2001: A Space Odyssey, yet it still looked like the future when Kubrick put it on board the Discovery One spacecraft. The same sleek stainless steel cutlery also appears in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

The Egg Chair (1958). One of the great achievements of Scandinavian design. Created for the SAS Royal Hotel, its sculptural form provides both privacy and comfort. Spotted in the Danish-Swedish crime drama The Bridge and The Beatles' Help! (pics 3-4). 

The Series 7 Chair (1955). Arguably Jacobsen's most recognisable design. Lightweight, elegant and endlessly versatile. Seen in The Playlist, The Uninvited, The Father, Conversations with Friends and Sentimental Value (pics 5-8).

The AJ Table Lamp (1957). Originally designed for Copenhagen's SAS Royal Hotel. Its angled shade and clean lines made it a modernist classic. Seen in No Time To Die, where it sits in Q's house, and in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, appearing in both Pike's Ready Room and M'Benga's Sick Bay (pics 9-10).

More than seventy years after many of these designs first appeared, they continue to feel remarkably current, whether on a film set, a starship or around a dining table.
