Started in 2007, Elements of Style is the offshoot blog of Gates’ successful design business, called Element Interiors. Specializing in genuine, sophisticated and colorful interiors, Gates prides her business on being able to create beautiful spaces for any budget or style. Gates herself proclaims to love all styles, from “modern to traditional, global to local.” While we can’t be sure, we’d bet this great variety of design love is what helps make her blog so successful.
Recently having seen a revamp of the look of the blog, you can now surf through all of Gates’ inspiring posts by category if you’re looking for something specific, or just poke around the archives for a few years worth of great ideas. As mentioned, you can find gorgeous photos of interior spaces to help inspire your own projects, product information, ideas, tips and more. A favorite on her blog to us are her giveaways and gift guides! We like the way Gates frames all of her finds, like organizing things into “What I’m Loving,” so you know what trends or looks Gates is into currently.
Another unique aspect to both Element Interiors and Elements of Style is Gates location: Boston! Unlike other famous blogs that hail from Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York, Gates bring the elements of Boston style to us through her blog, but in a way we can all enjoy! The look of the blog is really fresh and fun, too: photos are big, text is easy to read and it all contains a heavy dose of Gates’ fabulous style.
If you’re looking for inspiration for your own interior spaces, it’s worth a look to check out both the Elements of Style blog and Gates’ firm’s website, Element Interiors. And as always, you can also check out some of our previous design bloggers we’ve profiled, like Kim and Jo of Desire to Inspire, Johnathan Lo of Happy Mundane, Victoria Smith of sfgirlbybay, and the blogger behind Mer Mag.
