With Hawthorne’s Spring Open Days on the horizon, we teamed up with Mary-anne Tobin from Design Addiction to create our first ever “Stylist Spotlight” corner – featuring 2023 colour trends and pairing them with all Hawthorne furniture & décor. The result was a warm, comforting space featuring smooth caramels tones and the warmth of timber and linen.
2023 Colour Trends by Mary-anne Tobin
Underplayed earth naturals, caramels, muted tones and olive greens will set the stage for many homes in 2023. Some of my favourite colours from the 2024 Resene Fashion Collection are Salted Caramel, Athena and Amaranth. Think of your living area sun kissed with a soft warm glow, subtle curves and architectural arches, inspiring wall art of the Cinque Terre, and Italian seaside or an Apulia archway. Add some interest with vintage pieces and aged vases.
Mediterranean interiors will make an appearance again with the use of Venetian plaster. The unique texture will provide homes with more depth and definition. Paper-Mache bowls with curved lines, help to show us that it is ok to be imperfect and unique this year. Spaces will see more archways and bends, bathroom with niche’s will be more curved softening lines to create feelings of relaxation.
A bit about Mary-anne
From an early age I have always been interested in design. When I married my husband, a Master Builder, my obsession for design accelerated and leaned towards Interior Design.
Together we have designed and built many houses. If not building our own homes, we have been involved in building projects, developments and countless renovations. I founded Design addiction in late 2021. I enjoy designing a modern and sophisticated motif, usually elevating a neutral palette to create something simplistic yet memorable.
