A note for July from Hiltingbury Interiors
Hello lovely clients and friends
What a glorious month we've had! There's nothing quite like throwing open the windows and doors, enjoying long summer evenings. The whole team has been making the most of every ray of sunshine when we can – it truly feels like summer has arrived!
This seasonal shift has us thinking: why not bring that same vibrant, joyful energy into your home? Let's explore how bold design choices can transform your spaces into the uplifting sanctuaries you deserve.
The bolder the better
We're absolutely thrilled about the resurgence of bold statement wallpapers – trust us, they're the perfect way to unlock your space's full potential. Recently, we hosted representatives from Graham & Brown and Cole & Son, and we were completely blown away by their new collections. From vivid florals to majestic animals, these prints have an undeniable wow-factor that can transform any room into your dream space.
The best part? As your design partners, we take the guesswork out of going bold, ensuring every dramatic choice feels perfectly you!
Introducing... Graham & Brown to our studio!
We're thrilled to announce that we're now stocking wallpapers and paints from Graham and Brown. They're renowned for their stunning wall murals – the perfect way to create real visual impact in your home.
Here's what makes this exciting for you: we'll help you select a design you absolutely love, then expertly match it to one of Graham & Brown's coordinating paints, so your mural integrates seamlessly into your space. Their patterns are simply too beautiful to pass up, and we're encouraging clients to embrace the return of maximalism by combining multiple designs.
We know mixing and matching prints can feel daunting, but that's exactly where our expertise shines. We'll create a harmonious blend of bold patterns that feels authentically 'you' – never overwhelming, always stunning.
What makes this partnership even more special? Graham & Brown's commitment to sustainability and community perfectly aligns with our own values. They've transitioned entirely to renewable energy, use completely recyclable paint tins, and achieved carbon neutrality. Their dedication to support local community through charity fundraising mirrors our own belief in giving back – it's partnerships like these that allow us to create beautiful spaces while making a positive impact.
When high fashion meets interior design
We simply had to share the stunning new Couture Carousel collection from Cole & Son in collaboration with Harrods – it's an absolute show-stopper! The colourways are gorgeous and the design strikes the perfect balance of sophisticated and playful.
Picture this: each of the 16 hand-drawn, hand-painted 'fashionistas' represents a different era in haute couture, from 1950s glamour to 1990s avant-garde. We can envision this beauty transforming a teenage daughter's bedroom, a luxurious dressing room, or even a stylish salon. The possibilities are endless when you have the right design eye guiding the way.
Bold wallpaper done right
We're delighted that our wonderful photographer Holly is back in action! We've captured some fabulous shots that perfectly demonstrate how statement prints can be used successfully in real homes. This particular client embraced creative, bold choices, and we think the results speak for themselves!
Follow us on social media for more inspiring examples of eye-catching wallpapers transforming en-suite bathrooms, cloakrooms, utility rooms, and even kitchens. Real homes, real transformations, real inspiration.
