Makeup artist Amber Carroll has painted her studio where she makes up brides and clients in blush pink Resene Birthday Suit.

The walls of Amber’s studio are painted in Palm Springs-inspired soft pink Resene Birthday Suit, which she loves for its cheeky nod to ‘girly’ charm. She says she loves to make people look and feel good and this room achieves it with aplomb. The trim in Resene Alabaster makes a stunning pairing.

As a busy working mum, Amber takes great joy in relaxing in her bedroom oasis where she uses stunning Resene Magnum, evocative of the deep dark night sky, on the feature wall, a bold and alluring colour choice that makes the velvet headboard sizzle. The trim in Resene Alabaster frames the daring midnight blue and provides cohesion with the gold of the headboard.

The kitchen and dining area is simple and bright with Resene Alabaster on the walls, ceiling and trim.

Amber sought the expertise of Janice Kumar-Ward, interior architect and designer, who worked with the couple to create their elegant interior. Their lounge features Resene Alabaster on the walls, ceiling and trim with a bespoke cabinet handcrafted by Janice’s husband, cabinetry and furniture designer Julian Ward, that incorporates “his signature embellishment,” Amber adds.

The family’s light, formal dining area in the 120-year-old Auckland villa, which opens out to the pool and patio, stays light and airy using Resene Alabaster on the walls, ceiling and trim with pops of colour achieved in the accessories and furnishing pieces.

When Amber, Chris, Luca and Lexi are not busy out and about, their poolside outdoor room is the ideal staycation retreat painted in Resene Alabaster retro Palm Springs vibe is perfectly captured in cheeky retro furnishings on white rattan furniture in the poolside outdoor space, which Amber describes as the perfect family space. “It’s a fun area to hang out with the family,” she says. “We use the pool a lot, the kids love it and live in it over summer.”
