What is the 2023 Pantone Colour of the Year?

Viva Magenta! Pantone has chosen a rich and vibrant red shade as the Colour of the Year 2023. This magenta is a shade rooted in nature; it is bold and fearless and adds a joyful and optimistic tone to your interior.

I’d like to wish everyone a great new year as we enter the second phase of this market correction.

The property market’s performance in 2023 will be largely dictated by interest rates. After a 3% increase over just eight months last year, there are signs now that they won’t go up much further.

OK, it’s January – the month for resolutions. If your New Year’s Resolution is to buy a property, here are some things you could do to help you succeed. 

2023 looks like it will be another competitive year for purchasing, so if you want to get in on the action, you’ll need to be on top of your game!

A home’s entrance is more than just a place to kick off your shoes and drop your mail and car keys; it’s a transit zone between inside and out – a space that allows a change of pace from a busy life to the comfort of home.

It’s the first room our friends and family see when they visit, the first room potential buyers see, and the room we leave and enter by every single day, so creating a welcoming and functional area is an absolute must.

I look back on 2022 and think it’s got to be one for the record books.
