GOING GREY

COME ON IN!
ABOUT ME I’m Emma Bryans, 40, a primary school teacher, with a serious Instagram habit. I live here with my husband Tim, 41, an animator, and our three sons, Beau, 10, Sonny, seven, and Louie, three. MY HOME A four-bedroom 1930s house in the seaside town of Ballyholme in Bangor, Northern Ireland, bought in October 2014. WHEN I MOVED IN The kitchen extension had already been completed, but the decor was very dark and dated. It included a lot of red and dark green. AND NOW I have chosen a neutral backdrop in warm greys to best show off my ever-growing art collection. My gallery walls are a real talking point with friends and family. STYLE TIP Framed prints introduce brilliant pops of colour to any room and can be changed easily, so you’ll never get bored!
