The Prettiest Palettes

A designer transformed her Atlanta, GA, home with cool color combos and lots of them!

- JAIMIE DALESSIO CLAYTON

When Amber Guyton bought this new-construction Craftsman-style bungalow in 2021, the possibilities were endless-for Amber and for the house. She was building her blog-turned-interior design business, Blessed Little Bungalow, and she saw every empty room as an opportunity to flex her creative muscles. "My home is my primary portfolio because it's where I can try any new thing I happen to dream up," says Amber, who lives here with her dog, Ralph. Her biggest move was to do away with the beige walls and create a distinct color scheme for each space. "I wanted my home to make me feel good and inspire others." 

Living Room

MAUVE + YELLOW + BLACK

The walls make a big first impression: Amber chose a rich mauve (Love Affair by Benjamin Moore) and had the painters stop partway up, creating a color-blocked look that highlights the lofted ceiling. A rug from Anthropologie with hints of pink complements the walls. The oversize yellow lamp is from Target.
