VE RESERVE “I was fortunate to have Monika from MyPad Property Styling recommended to me for styling my property for sale. I had a number of stylists come to quote and found Monika the most knowledgeable and professional with a creative flair that comes naturally.

Monika spent the time needed to review my needs and what was required to sell at the best price possible. She gave me extra tips on preparing the house for open

homes, she knows the market and what buyers are looking for. The comments on presentation were amazing and when I walked into my home after it was styled I was overjoyed with everything she had done. In fact her expertise was so excellent, my agent is now recommending her to his clients. My house sold for well over reserve and I'm confident it was the styling that attracted so much interest and the final excellent price.

If you are selling your house, you will always get a much better price by styling it and the best price beyond your expectations by using Monika.�

Styling leaves a lasting impression

Pantone Colour of the Year 2017 A refreshing and revitalizing shade, Greenery is symbolic of new beginnings.

Greenery is a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew. Illustrative

of flourishing foliage and the lushness of the great outdoors, the fortifying attributes of Greenery signals consumers to take a deep breath, oxygenate and reinvigorate.

Greenery is nature’s neutral. The more submerged people are in modern life, the greater their innate craving to immerse themselves in the physical beauty and inherent unity of the natural world. This shift is reflected by the proliferation of all things expressive of Greenery in daily lives through urban planning, architecture, lifestyle and design choices globally. A constant on the periphery, Greenery is now being pulled to the forefront - it is an omnipresent hue around the world.

A life-affirming shade, Greenery is also emblematic of the pursuit of personal passions and vitality.

What is the PANTONE Colour of the Year?

A symbolic colour selection; a colour snapshot of what we see taking place in our global culture that serves as an expression of a mood and an attitude.
