Elements of Family Style: Elegant Spaces for Everyday Life

Book has great photos and recommendations for decorating.

I read other purchasers’ reviews before buying books and products and was a bit put off by the complaints that there was more focus on her child, little Henry, than decorating. I disagree. While I am at a different stage in life with grown children; in the process of selling our home of 20 years, packing, sorting and preparing to purchase or build a new home, I love this book! While the sections on nurseries and children’s living areas are not pertinent to me at my phase of life, there are plenty of sections, beautiful photos and decorating advice that is. And I certainly remember baby love and showing my children in the clothes I made them and the various places they went! I love her style of decor. While some is streamlined and modern, it maintains a cozy ambience and the photos are of rooms I myself would love to create.My only complaint is that a section of my book has pages that were wrinkled in the production process. I try up he careful with my books and magazines and this is a regrettable flaw but does not deter from the overall.

Adds nicely to the chinoiserie themed coffee table.

In all honesty, I bought this book because of how pretty the spine is. I have not read it yet but it looks like it’s full of helpful info and inspiration. And as a decorative accent, it’s 10/10 :)

Erin’s latest book is not only thoughtfully written, it is also filled with gorgeous images of real homes of real families. She illustrates with both humor and helpful advice how to not lose your style just because you have children! And, even for people without children or with grown children, the tips and inspirational photos are beautiful! Thrilled to add it to my library.

The first impression is the hardcover . Very elegant design with the blue and white colors . Love the great designs that the author display in the book . Good advice for interior decoration , last looks amazing on the coffee table !!

I initially got this book for aesthetics. I loved the blue and white spine… but I ended up reading this book and loving it. As a new mom, this really spoke to me about how you can attempt for style and still have space to parent kids. I loved it so much that I went through the book a second time with my mother in law!

Well done. This is such a relatable interior design book for families. I was inspired by the authors personal stories & the images of her house & others. I’ve just started to redecorate my house. This is one of my favorite books to reference.

The media could not be loaded.

I love when someone publishes a design book that is not only useful/informative but a pleasure to look at and read. This book (as well as Erin Gate's previous book) tick off both boxes; Erin has a very approachable style and her aesthetic is elegant yet attainable. The physical quality of this book is outstanding - beautifully bound, quality printing and artwork and the striking spine pattern is genius. I'll admit, I was first drawn to the design of the cover/spine of her first book (Elements of Style) because it is so striking to display on a shelf or coffee table and when I saw this next volume my first reaction was "wow". It also helps that it works perfectly with my blue & white ceramic collection :). Very happy with this addition to my design library!

This book is very nice as a coffee table book, I have a lot of blue and white decor so this just adds to the aesthetics, It lost one star because it doesn't look brand new and there was a very small dent, must have happened at the time of transport, never the less it's a very pretty and affordable book to have if u are a collector.
