Ready for a Ralph Lauren holiday home tour? Think rich textures, classic plaids, and candlelit glamour with that signature equestrian-meets-elegance vibe. I pulled together six complete room designs that feel cozy, chic, and totally giftable—each one its own little winter wonderland.
1. Highlands Lodge Living Room
This look is all crackling fire and whiskey-in-crystal energy. Start with a tobacco leather sofa and a pair of club chairs in forest green velvet, then ground everything with a red-and-black tartan wool rug.
Layer in Ralph Lauren tartan throws, oversized herringbone pillows, and a trunk-style coffee table with brass corners. On the mantel, mix cedar garland with antique brass candlesticks, and tuck in subtle equestrian motifs—think small stirrup frames and a riding-boot umbrella stand.
- Palette: Tobacco brown, hunter green, oxblood red, aged brass
- Finishes: Distressed leather, wool tartan, velvet, dark wood
- Glow: Lantern-style sconces and hurricane candles with warm white twinkle lights
2. Fifth Avenue Formal Dining
This is Christmas dressed in a tuxedo. Picture a long mahogany dining table with navy velvet dining chairs and a crisp ivory tablecloth layered under a blackwatch tartan runner.
Plates are bone china with a thin gold rim, paired with cut-crystal stemware and monogrammed napkins held by stirrup napkin rings. Down the center, mix polished silver candelabras, low white peony and pine arrangements, and sleek lacquered nutcrackers for a modern-classic twist.
- Palette: Navy, ivory, black, gold, evergreen
- Textures: Velvet, fine linen, crystal, polished silver
- Finishing Touch: A black silk ribbon around each chair back with a small sprig of cedar
3. Nantucket Noel Bedroom Retreat
Coastal, but make it Christmas. Dress the bed in crisp white percale with a navy-and-cream cable knit throw folded at the foot, then swap in red ticking-stripe shams and RL crest pillows for subtle holiday polish.
Bring in a weathered oak bench at the end of the bed, a blue-and-ivory braided rug, and a petite tabletop tree in a woven basket. Keep ornaments simple—pewter initials, shells with ribbon, and small glass baubles in clear and champagne.
- Palette: Navy, cream, cranberry red, driftwood
- Layers: Percale, cable knit, ticking stripe, rattan
- Lighting: Ribbed glass lamps with soft linen shades and warm white micro-lights
4. Equestrian Study With Christmas Quiet Luxury
This is the room where you sip cocoa and read Dickens. Anchor the space with rich paneled walls (or a deep oxblood paint) and a Persian-style rug in burgundy and navy. Add a Chesterfield sofa in caramel leather and a wingback chair in houndstooth.
Decor stays refined: a dark green velvet stocking hung from a brass picture light, a cedar and bay leaf garland draped over the bookcase, and framed vintage horse prints. On the desk, a green-shaded banker’s lamp, a silver bowl of pomegranates, and a neat stack of Ralph Lauren tartan boxes as storage.
- Palette: Oxblood, camel, evergreen, navy, brass
- Materials: Leather, wool, velvet, burled wood
- Holiday Accent: A single wreath with a black grosgrain ribbon—understated and chic
5. Alpine Chalet Entryway
First impressions: welcoming, cozy, and distinctly Ralph. Lay down a red plaid runner and flank the door with black metal lanterns filled with pillar candles. A sturdy raw-wood console holds a large ceramic bowl of pinecones and a stack of wool scarves in classic checks.
Hang a bold oversized wreath with mixed greens, pine, and leather-wrapped bells. Above, a bronze mirror catches the candlelight. A tartan umbrella stand and a woven basket of rolled blankets invite guests to get comfy right away.
- Palette: Crimson, charcoal, evergreen, natural wood
- Texture Mix: Wool, iron, raw wood, ceramic
- Practical Magic: Boot tray with monogrammed coir mat for a polished finish
6. Glam Park Avenue Parlor
Old New York glamour with a festive sparkle. Start with cream walls, a glossy black piano, and a sofa in taupe mohair paired with lucite-and-brass side tables. Underfoot, a ivory silk rug sets a soft stage.
Go full holiday with a flocked tree dressed in champagne, pearl, and smoke-glass ornaments, plus black velvet ribbon cascading down the branches. Style the mantel with mercury glass in varying heights, a thin eucalyptus garland, and crystal decanters on a lacquered tray for that cocktail-hour sheen.
- Palette: Cream, champagne, black, smoke gray, soft gold
- Materials: Mohair, silk, lacquer, lucite, mercury glass
- Signature Detail: Monochrome gift wrap with wax-sealed tags beneath the tree
Each of these rooms captures a different Ralph Lauren mood, from fireside lodge to Park Avenue glam. Pick your favorite vibe, pull the palette and textures, and then layer in those signature details—tartan, leather, brass, and candlelight. That’s the secret to making your home feel timeless, tailored, and unmistakably festive.
