A note for September from Hiltingbury Interiors

Hello,

We are back! 

Wow what a crazy month it’s been since returning from holiday. It always amazes me how fast the summer holidays whizz by and before you know it we're starting another school year and putting the flip flops away! Work is always at it's busiest in September, catching up with everything, getting back into routine and of course lots of new enquiries from customers starting to think about home improvements before Christmas. 

Bex and Ali were holding the fort over the summer, keeping projects moving, which I very much appreciate. Whilst I travelled to the Caribbean with my family for some much needed R&R, Rachel was in Barcelona with her family supporting the British America’s Cup team.

With beaches and cocktails seeming like a distant memory now, we’re back into our exciting projects. We have some great residential installations taking shape, along with a fabulous retail project.  I’m also consulting on a very worthwhile and sizable project for an amazing Southampton based charity. All of which we look forward to telling you more about over the next couple of months. It’s true to say that our work is wonderfully varied and fulfilling at the moment.

New Design Inspiration

It’s an exciting time of year in the interiors world as many of the design houses release their new collections. We’re hoping to visit Decorex in October where we’ll get to see everything first hand but here is a glimpse of what we’ve seen so far….

Dan, our James Hare representative, visited to show us their new collection. It’s a wonderful selection of prints, weaves and embroideries inspired by the original ethos of the Orangery. Bringing the outside in, blending classic florals with botanical motifs, echoing a rich heritage of artistry and craftsmanship. 

Our fabric books are on order and should be with us very soon, so pop into the studio if you’d like to view the new “Orangery collection”.

We’re also a big fan of Romo fabrics and love their new collection “Octavia”. Again inspired by mother nature, the collection depicts woodlands, botanicals and tropical canopies. Using light and shade the intricate embroideries, opulent velvets and luxurious weaves are bound to be a big hit with our customers. 

We look forward to incorporating these into our schemes and offering our clients something new… I suspect you’ll see the new Romo velvet fabric on footstools and accent chairs soon as they will look amazing when used in that way!

Macmillan Coffee Morning in the Studio 
Friday 27th September, 10am - 2.30pm

I am not sure there is anyone who's not been affected by cancer, be it directly or indirectly, so we are very happy to be supporting Macmillan this year. I have seen both my Mum and Dad, and very close friends battle with cancer and it sucks.

We'll be hosting a drop in coffee morning at the Studio on Hiltingbury Road with an opportunity for coffee, tea, home made scones and cakes (thanks Team!) and a chance for a catch up. We'll open our doors for coffee from 10 - 2.30pm.

The fabulous local Winchester flower farm, Stem and Green is supporting the cause with some gorgeous flowers that we’ll be arranging ready to purchase for a donation. 

Our next door neighbour, Caroline at CB Boutique will be donating 10% of purchases on the day. Meanwhile, Deborah from the Hursley Workroom has donated a beautiful Isle Mill woollen blanket that we will be raffling. Feel free to drop us a note with your intention to attend, equally just come along, we’d love to see you. QR code for card donations will be available on the day, or you can donate with good old cash!

If you are unable to attend but would like to donate, please click this link to go to directly to our Macmillan Just Giving page.

Hiltingbury Home Edit

We’re now stocking a variety of interior accessories in the Studio, these include baskets, vases, faux plants, candles, diffusers, blankets and cushions. Pop in to the Macmillan Coffee Morning or any another time and take a look for yourself. We have items for your home, but also for gifting to others. Of course we offer gorgeous gift wrapping too!

Here’s to a busy and productive Autumn.

With love
