December 13, 2025: The Christmas Countdown (Day 1)

The Ralph Lauren Christmas aesthetic.

I didn’t know this existed until Jess told me about it.

From what I’ve learned, the style goes for a cozy and warm glow, like a holiday spent in a rustic mountain lodge or an English manor.

There are deep color schemes, such as forest green and burgundy alongside cream and ivory accents. A wintery counterpart to coastal calm.

Everything is soft on purpose, like wrapping your home in a cashmere sweater. Instead of flashy glitter, there’s candlelit mantles and old brass. A sprinkle of holly berries and pinecones. Close your eyes and imagine spruce mixing with woodsmoke.

The mood whispers leather novels and slow mornings, as a fire crackles and a Golden Retriever sits at your feet. And for music lovers, this slice of Americana also has a Spotify Christmas playlist.

Beyond December, this look carries a reminder. Create places of relaxation. Atmosphere changes how you move through your days. A room’s feeling matters just as much as its purpose.

And according to Ralph, knowing what to leave out is equally important as what to include.

Your space tells your story.
