This year’s Resene Colour Home Awards winner reveals the secret to her eye-catching murals

Soothing pools of colour that uplift and bring a sense of joy were behind this year’s Resene Colour Home Awards winner. The murals were painted by Jasmin Vallance in three rooms of her Point England home in Auckland while she dabbled with decorating during last year’s first lockdown. She tells, “I started painting vases and furniture, and my confidence grew from there.”

As her approach evolved, Jasmin applied her creativity to her home’s hallway, spare room and office, bringing in soulful, earthy neutrals with pink, green and black.
