  • In this softly-spoken ASMR tour, we’re going to time-travel back to 1816, and pay a virtual visit to Carlton House - the home of the Prince Regent, which was once considered to be the most stylish house in England. The rooms are extremely opulent and - perhaps surprisingly - brightly coloured… so any Bridgerton fans who have been wondering where that vibrant colour palette for the costumes and sets came from - now you know!

    Although Carlton House no longer exists, many of the items that were once on display there - including chandeliers, furniture and paintings - are still part of the royal palace collections and can be viewed on the Royal Collection Trust website - www.rct.uk

    #SoundsCurious is a youtube channel dedicated to audio adventures. As someone who experiences ASMR (and also uses it to help me sleep), my aim with these videos is to provide you with a deeply relaxing experience that will lull you to sleep, or help you to feel rested and refreshed - as well as triggering some ASMR tingles in those that experience them. Balancing soft and calming vocals with informative content, my favourite topics for videos are history, culture, literature, the fine and decorative arts... and whatever else takes my fancy!

    How fragile, how ephemeral things are. Even the most beautiful and opulent palace can be swept away. Here and gone in the blink of an eye

      Thank you so much ❤️ I don't make new videos very often, because they take a long time to research, record and edit, and I have a lot of other creative stuff going on. However, I can tell you there'll be a new video coming out in at the beginning of next month 🙂

    I can't even imagine what it would be like, to live in such a grand, huge house like this.

    • @SoundsCurious
      @SoundsCurious  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I know... it must have been both fabulous and stressful (for the servants, at least... I can't imagine the Prince Regent was ever stressed by living there!)

    Stunning Tour ……beautifully introduced …..I have never seen all the rooms of CH until now …..what an absolute shame that George IV had this house demolished …….it really could have stood the test of time as a great British national treasure…..for anyone watching , it is worth noting that most of these lavish furnishings still exist and are now on display in Buckingham Palace

    • @SoundsCurious

      Thank you! Yes, I agree, it would have been wonderful - and thanks for the Buckingham Palace tip!

    Another perfect ASMR, thank you 🌹 Brighton Castle would be another great journey; Prince George had such a mania for fantasyland buildings!

      He did indeed! The Royal Pavilion is on my list, as it's one of my favourite buildings - even the kitchens have decorative palm trees! I've visited it many times, but it's been a while since I was last there, so I'm hoping to go back (post-pandemic) again, before I make a video tour, just to refresh my memory.

      @@SoundsCurious How wonderful! I envy you England & the UK with its glorious landscapes & architecture! Here in America most of our buildings are less than 300 years old and our follies consist of things like The World’s Largest Ball of Aluminum Foil.

    Hello there Ms Sounds Curious. So nice to hear from you again Sarah! I hope you had a delightful holiday season. I was so excited to see this that I hit like right away. I'm sure it's wonderful as always! Stay well. 😊 ❤

      Thank you! Yes, I did have a lovely holiday season, thank you - hope you did, too :) This winter, however, seems to be proving very long, so I though a blast of Regency colour was just what was needed! Best wishes to you and yours :)

      The building developed cracks and was considered structurally unsound it was built on a slope. It had to be torn down or it might fall down

  • @sifisodlamini2691
    @sifisodlamini2691 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    It’s a pity that it was demolished. Can you imagine if it was still around 🙆🏽‍♂️. It would definitely knock out Buckingham Palace in terms of splendour and grandiosity, even though Buckingham Palace is beautiful on its own league

    • @SoundsCurious
      @SoundsCurious  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is such a shame, indeed! I'm just so happy we still have the watercolours, so we can at least have a sense of what it was like 🙂
