ERIN GATES DESIGN FOR FRONTGATE
From sipping coffee in the morning to host-
ing festive fêtes in the evening, acclaimed
decorator and author Erin Gates knows
how to get the most mileage from a space.
“The terrace serves a variety of needs, from
small gatherings in individual areas to a
larger party spanning the entire balcony,”
says Gates about designing the multifac-
eted space. “It’s important to treat outdoor
spaces with as much thoughtfulness as in-
door ones.” Gates partnered with Frontgate
to create the blue-and-white hued paradise
that’s equal parts chic and durable, but
also lets its hair down, most notably with
the Frontgate dining table for eight that
transforms into a high-spirited Ping-Pong
table. For Gates, the row of Frontgate chaise
lounges are the moment she covets. “It’s
such a dreamy spot to spend an afternoon
in the sun with friends and some chilled
white wine. It really just screams ‘me
time’—we all need a bit of that.”
