Erin Gates has a special talent for identifying untapped potential: She started her own firm geared toward young professionals in Boston in 2007, finding great success among an underserved clientele; she was also an early design blogger, part of a shift that would transform the design industry (and send her own career skyrocketing). In this episode, the Wellesley, Massachusetts–based designer explains how she stayed authentic amid pressure to bend, how she finds team members that support her vision, and why she’s so excited about the new hire keeping her firm’s operations in check. LINKSErin GatesKaitlin PetersenBusiness of Home

Erin Gates on finding your voice

We are so excited to welcome back Erin Gates, of Erin Gates Design, to the show. She joined us for an episode back in 2017 at the beginning of the podcast days! Erin is a true Renaissance woman in the design world. In addition to running her design firm, she has authored two bestselling books, has an extremely popular blog, “Elements of Style”, several product collections, a personal home renovation, and is raising a family! We discuss how to decorate with family in mind without sacrificing style, the resurgence of the home office, and other tips from Erin’s wealth of knowledge.What You’ll Hear on This Episode: Trials &amp; Triumphs about grading the backyard, rodents in the house, and toddler “remodeling”. How did Erin make her way into design? What’s next for Erin? What are some misconceptions and tips about decorating with family in mind? Which performance fabrics does Erin recommend (and not recommend)? What does Erin look for in rugs? How has the pandemic impacted home office design? What are Erin’s best tips for a home office? Decorating Dilemma Hi Stephanie,I think with a space like this the most important thing is to create some symmetry so the layout you have is perfect. I would probably do a sectional that has another arm rather than a chaise to get more seating towards the TV. I would also do a 76-80” media console, to not limit your TV size, and hang the TV. Then add a matching pair of taller bookcases on either side. On the taller wall to the left, you could do a really nice symmetrically hung gallery wall or one giant piece of vertical art. You could do anything for a coffee table, but if you wanted to soften up you could try an oval shape. There’s also room to add an accent chair to use when entertaining. You also need some lighting in here! Think all different levels; wall sconces, hanging fixtures, table lamps, floor lamps, etc. We also think you need to pop some color in here! If you really prefer the neutral, definitely use texture and tones to create contrast. Definitely need some window treatments (functional or not) on the sliding doors to soften it up.Lastly, we also noticed that little niche above the doorway. You could totally ignore it, or ideally fill it in with drywall.Good luck, Stephanie! Thanks for listening and send us the after photos.Mentioned in This Episode:Erin Gates DesignErin Gates on Instagram“Elements of Style” BlogElements of StyleElements of Family Style

Our Interior Designers, Erin Gates & Emma Beryl, Chat All Things Home Decor.

On this Tuesday edition of the Chaise Lounge, Nick’s guest is author/influencer/designer Erin Gates, the woman behind Elements of Style.

S21 E15 – Influencer Power with Erin Gates

We're big fans of interior designer, blogger, and author Erin Gates, so when we headed to our new Boston store at Natick Mall, we knew we had to sit down with this local stylemaker.

How much Erin's team has grown and how delighted they all are to have a new, organized office space The color they use in almost every project We talk about Taryn's color addiction Karen and Erin bond over their love of animal print Erin tells us all about the massive home renovation of her fixer upper Her next big project in her home renovation Her love of real estate and how she's always browsing houses We talk TVs -- what's too big and should you have one in your bedroom Erin gives everyone a rug lesson I share a story about a 'rug island' We talk about what you do when your friends asks for decor advice about a home purchase they've made Why it's fun to work on projects that are out of your comfort zone Where people can save in their budget, and where they should in vest most of their dollars
