Okay, so we’ve known for years that Aerin Lauder is the granddaughter of the legendary Estée Lauder (yes, the woman whose name is splashed all over your cosmetics). She’s done her fair share to prove that great taste runs in the family – and that she’s a trailblazer in her own right. Her coffee-table book, Beauty at Home, is a prime example of that.
In it, Lauder gives an intimate glimpse inside her world. She shares memories about family and world travels. Copious design advice. And – the best part – plenty of Pinterest-worthy photos of her office and her homes in New York City and the Hamptons. Here’s a small taste of what has us hooked.

“If I’m going to do something traditional, there usually will be something contemporary right next to it. I like the energy that comes from that contrast.”

“Brown on beige is warm and inviting. It’s not too masculine or too feminine; anyone would feel comfortable.”
“Blue and white is part of my decorating DNA. I love it in any way, shape, or form… Color is a powerful thing.”
Decorating inspo, complete. Excuse us while we redo the entire house.
