Our latest interior design inspiration is the aspirational New York City penthouse apartment of Shonda Rhimes, the television mastermind behind a long list of our favorite shows. We're currently drooling over her extravagantly-decorated home, which is pictured on the April cover of Architectural Digest. Much like the set design of her hit Netflix series Bridgerton, her dwelling is filled with regal themes including textured fabrics, vibrant colors, and intricate vintage-inspired details. The effect is a jaw-dropping sophisticated space that captures Shonda's larger-than-life imagination.

When it comes to interior design trends, it’s clear that royalty is in and adding hints of these fancy details has the ability to enliven any space. Below, we’ve rounded décor must-haves from 8 Black-owned interior brands, including dinnerware, linens, and furniture, that embody Shonda’s aspirational home.
