Sussing out your home decor style

REG00200281_1_1

First root through your clothes closet for clues JURA KONCIUS THE WASHINGTON POST Designer and writer Erin Gates, 35, lives in a white clapboard Colonial in Newton, Mass., with her husband, two dogs and a leopardprint stair Erin runner. Gates G a t e s pens the popular blog Elements of Style, where her advice is glamorous yet practical and often served up with humour. In her just-published book Elements of Style: Designing a Home and a Life, Gates shares secrets including dressing up a closet to finding a kitchen counter material that will fit your lifestyle. The book has lots of lists and charts and advice. She’s got a great list of house-

warming gift ideas (terrariums instead of flowers, for example, or a return-address rubber stamp) and assorted tips for renters (if you’re not allowed to use huge nails to hang a weighty mirror in an entry hall, try leaning a tall wall mirror behind a console table). Her primers on the 12 best sofa styles and 45 favourite paint colours are keepers. I spoke to Gates recently about her book and her insights into helping people discover their personal style.

Q

How do you find your own style if you haven’t a clue? A Go through your closet. Your wardrobe says a lot about the colours and patterns and textures you are comfortable with. If you see a lot of bright colours and patterns, this is what you are drawn to and should do in your rooms.

Deep-grey painted woodwork gives drama to this family room by designer Erin Gates. She makes the room feel lived-in by using vintage or antique furniture with a little patina.
