Earlier this month, Pantone announced the 2023 colour of the year – Viva Magenta. Every year Pantone picks a colour representing the year, and according to them, Viva Magenta 18-750, vibrates with vim and vigour. It is a shade rooted in nature descending from the red family and expressive of a new signal of strength. Viva Magenta is brave and fearless, a pulsating colour whose exuberance promotes a joyous and optimistic celebration, writing a new narrative.”
A striking reddish pink, the colour perfectly complements the festive season. And if you’re thinking about sprucing up your interiors with a pop of colour for the New Year and set a new tone, then take a look at some of our favourite picks in this year’s Pantone shade.

Louis Vuitton’s visionary approach is apparent in all of their collections and their Cocoon chair is a fine example. Designed with delicately perforated fiberglass shell, the chair is lined with calfskin giving it a smooth on the outside, soft on the inside feel. It comes with specially shaped cushions which make it the perfect spot to laze around in.
The colour of the royals and now the colour of the year, these pink candle holders from RAD Living bears resemblance to the deep rich pink colour of a ruby, popularised by the royals, giving it the name of Rani Pink. The vibrance of the pink is subdued by gold plated embellishment, making for a truly royal statement piece.
Table lamps double up as a chic piece of décor. A fun and sophisticated table lamp like this one from Sazy doubles the charm. The table lamp is made from 100% eco-friendly recycled glass which is handblown and fixed with a cork stopper to support the bulb holder. While the lamp comes with lampshade options, the Bordeaux hued shades best complement the lamp.
There’s nothing more stylish than a statement table décor piece that is also a mini lantern. This elegant LED lantern from Swarovski is crafted in brushed champagne-gold tone metal and glass. Inside the glass case is a collection of five stunning hibiscus flowers, shining with 1,900 facets of purple and light-yellow crystal. An in-built LED, chargeable via USB, acts as a spotlight for a dazzling effect.
