Erin Gates is beloved for her unique blend of American approachability and elegance. The author of the bestselling classic Elements of Style, Erin now broadens her lens by looking at nine homes to learn how each homeowner approached the space to make it livable, versatile, and beautiful. The first home in the book is hers-and, in true Erin fashion, she shares her process, fumbles and all.
Your home is your sanctuary-a safe space that nurtures your emotional, physical, and mental well-being. In Elements of Timeless Style, Erin shares her decades of expertise to guide you in making thoughtful choices, big and small, that enhance your living space.

With insights on budgeting, decision-making, and design phases, Elements of Timeless Style is for anyone who wants a thought partner in design, whether you're overhauling your entire space or making intentional, gradual changes.
