This year, festive decor leans into a nostalgic vibe, particularly the designer kind. Ralph Lauren's Christmas aesthetic captures a rich, New England-inspired look that feels both elegant and retro. My focus? Ralph Lauren-inspired tableware, as my Christmas design journey truly begins at the dining table.

Pottery Barn's Stewart Plaid stoneware dinnerware collection along with Enchanted Forest stag napkins set the perfect scene for a Ralph Lauren-inspired Christmas table.
The essence of Ralph Lauren Christmas decor lies in its traditional designs, from luxurious cashmere throws to refined metal vases. While it's easy to incorporate this style in various rooms, it shines especially well on a beautifully arranged table.
Our Interior Design Head, Hebe Hatton, recommends a subtle approach to channeling the Ralph Lauren look. 'Aim for that cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere by blending colors and patterns. Consider pairing a rich red or classic blue tablecloth (Wayfair) with a plaid table runner (Pottery Barn), along with mixed metal accents and abundant foliage and berries. Glassware and a quality crockery set are essential.'
Bring out your finest plaid linens and vintage candlesticks, and your Ralph Lauren-inspired festive table will be ready. If you're inspired to add some new pieces to your collection, here's what I'm eyeing to start.
