Call it a hangover from Bridgerton, or our love of all things Jane Austen, but we just can’t seem to get enough of the Regencycore-adjacent coquette aesthetic – especially when it comes to our home décor.
We’ve watched the trend trickle down the runways and wrap around some of our favourite celebrities, but now the sweet, unapologetically feminine influence is making its way from our hearts to our homes.
Defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as “a woman who trifles with men’s affections” or “a woman given to flirting or coquetry” ‘coquette’ can sometimes be confused with a Lolita-style temptress, but in reality, the modern day interpretation has come to mean something far more celebratory.
Coquette aesthetic décor is all about a return to romance, unabashed in its delicate details and playful energy. It’s a celebration of all things ornate and opulent, without leaning too far into the OTT.
Think Regencycore-lite, with a gentle twist that takes its style cues from soft pastels, elegant florals, feminine flourishes and nature-inspired motifs.
Transform your home into a coquette-coded dainty dreamhouse with our edit of the best pieces to bring the whimsy in – without it becoming kitsch.
