make it yours: gemma ahern

Gemma Ahern paired up with her sister Abigail (both part of Atelier Abigail Ahern) to create this amazingly designed 1,200-square-foot apartment. The dark wall colors — along with the combination of simple, modern and quirky vintage décor — make this home a pretty unique one. I love to see pops of neon used like this! These ladies have a great eye for design and color. What’s very exciting is that much of what you see in Gemma’s home can be bought at Atelier — from the coffee table to the bookcase wallpaper; they even have a book out called A Girl’s Guide to Decorating!

I’ve always enjoyed dark walls in theory, but I think that if I lived in a house, surrounded by the dark-dark-dark colors, I would feel claustrophobic. I need bright light and openness.

The greyhound lamp is fierce.

I still remember when I fell in love with that hot pink table and that grey couch but can not remember where I saw it… regardless, I am so happy to see it again!

Such a different yet fantastic look.

They certainly aren’t scared of bold colour palettes. The dark charcoal of the living room walls, contrasted with the hot pink and yellow is striking and a great unique touch. The kitchen uses an unconventional colour palette but is dramatic and individual.

Great lateral thinking used to create a new stunning look.

I am so coveting the Razzle Dazzle hot pink right now.

I also love the Simply Color posts – totally inspiring!

A nice dark atmosphere with cheerful bright place to gaze upon make this ideal for me. I love this idea!
