As we hurtle towards March and feel the summer slip away, many of us can experience a sense of sadness as ‘real’ part of the year takes hold. In our opinion, shopping for new decor is a good as remedy as any for battling the end of summer blues.
This month, we’re all about elevating our hostess status with cute dessert coupes, while rethinking the dining table and obsessing over Bridget Jones’ new yellow kitchen.
The best interior trends and homewares to shop in March 2025
Dessert coupes
Silver dessert coupes are one of the many wedding ideas that sounded genius when I first got engaged and utterly ridiculous as the reality of wedding planning hit. These chic little glasses have been all over the Instagram feeds of my favourite French influencers, elevating the simplest scoop of icecream or cup of berries at their uber cool dinner parties.
While collecting 100 antique coupe glasses might not be something i’ll be torturing myself with in the lead up to my own wedding, I will still be searching for the perfect coupe set for my home (and future soirees).
- Ice cream cups, $218 from Michelle Concept Store Glam
- Gohar World set of two silver-tone desser coupes, $299 from Net-A-Porter
- The seashell coupe glass, $89.95 from The Outlier
- Steel goblet set of 2, $40 from In The Roundhouse
Coffee table dining
Since Castlery released its clever ‘Hugg’ coffee table design, I’ve been thinking more about coffee table dining as a concept. While Europeans seem to be relatively adept at throwing a few floor cushions around the coffee table and calling it a dinner party, us Australians tend to be more attached to our dining tables.
Yet, as I’ve learnt since moving into a 28m² apartment with no room for a dining table, enjoying a meal closer to the floor tends to bring a more relaxed and open energy to a group.
Doing coffee table dining well however, doesn’t mean forgoing comfort or style. A few cute floor cushions, a couple of low chairs and your favourite table linens will all give your coffee table the dinner party glow up that it deserves.
- Avery stripe ruffle floor cushion, $89.95 from Pillow Talk
- La La Chair in flamingo, $1500 from Fenton & Fenton
- Hugg nesting square coffee table, $1299 from Castlery
- Pomodoro embroidered 4-Piece napkin set, $41.99 (usually $59.99) from Linen House
Bridget Jones’ yellow kitchen
It’s safe to say that the new Bridget Jones film, Mad About The Boy, left us all with a strong desire to paint our kitchens yellow. In our opinion, the increasingly popular and super soft butter yellow is the best place to start with the sunshiney shade. This shade also happens to be KitchenAid’s colour of the year, with their new butter yellow mixer even making a cute appearance in Bridget Jones’ kitchen.
- Artisan tilt-head stand mixer KSM195, $949 from Kitchen Aid
- Molto stripe main plate, bright yellow, $95 from Alex and Trahanas
- Layla lemon european pillowcase, $41.99 (usually $51.99) from Linen House
