A note for March from Hiltingbury Interiors

Hello

I'm back again, and can you believe it, at long last I think Spring is here! There are daffodils in bloom everywhere and we've all enjoyed a few blue skies and sunshine over the last couple of weeks. Let’s hope for even more good weather ahead!

Good Wash Day Event

We've had a bustling start to the year, working on various exciting projects. One of the recent highlights was a fabulous event we designed and managed for a dear friend and client, Carla.

I met Carla in the early days of Hiltingbury Interiors, when we created the window dressings for her new house. Our relationship has continued to grow over the years, designing various rooms in her house and supporting each other in our businesses. So it was a true pleasure to collaborate with her on the concept for her watch party last Thursday at the Pump House in Winchester.

You might be wondering, “What’s a watch party?” Well, Carla, the talented founder of Good Wash Day, recently appeared on Dragons' Den, and she gathered a group of her supporters for an evening filled with delicious canapés, drinks, and, of course, the all-important TV viewing! We transformed the unique space at the Pump House with her brand colours, added playful paper furniture and pom-poms, showcased her products, and even introduced popcorn to enhance the viewing experience! It was a night to remember, with Carla sharing her insights about her Dragons' Den experience and the exciting news of her new investor. We were truly proud to be a part of such a feel-good evening.

Mother’s Day – Sunday, March 30th

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, falling on the last Sunday of the month. We have the perfect gift waiting for you in the studio: our delightful flower diffuser, complete with a vase and fragrance. Stop by to take a look and enjoy the scents. The entire set starts at just £27.50 and comes beautifully gift-wrapped.

We also have our gorgeous range of colourful glassware including reversible vases, along with a range candles and diffusers. 

Colour Trends – Mocha Mousse

This year, Pantone’s Colour of the Year is Mocha Mousse, a warm and sophisticated shade of brown that exudes comfort, stability, and understated elegance. Mocha Mousse bridges the gap between bold and neutral tones, making it an ideal foundation for creating grounded yet dynamic spaces.

As always, you don’t have to take this too literally! This colour serves as a guide for where interior trends are heading in 2025. Our research indicates that earthy, warm, cozy, and neutral tones will dominate this year’s collections. Check out these images from Sofa.com that beautifully illustrate this earthy trend.

At Hiltingbury Interiors, we love curating various tones and finishes within this earthy palette, often inspired by nature. By incorporating linens, wools, and other natural finishes, we create cozy spaces in winter and exude a cool, decadent vibe in summer—think Tuscan natural plaster. Layering these elements is a hallmark of our design philosophy.

For those with eagle eyes, you may notice that this is technically the February newsletter that was delayed, but let’s embrace March and acknowledge that February was a busy and short month!

More to come in April!

Warm wishes,
