Every year brings a new and interesting vibe to holiday decor…This year, the idea of a ‘Ralph Lauren Christmas’ has been all the rage. While this fad can mean a lot of things for a lot of different people, we find the trend to center on the classics of Christmas; incorporating traditional patterns like red and green plaid, velvet bows, and our favorite part–incorporating natural decor to really wrap the cozy and nostalgic vibes together.
In this week’s installment of Woodie’s Picks, we plan to center on a few classic natural elements to incorporate indoors or out to bring the magic of the holiday season to life. Follow this guide, and you will be ready to deck the halls in no time!
Key Considerations For a Ralph Lauren Christmas
-
Less Is More
The number one consideration for a cozy and classic Ralph Lauren Christmas is the idea that less is more. Center your design around a few specific colors and fabrics. The use of velvet and plaid consistently throughout the home is a popular design tactic that embodies class and the festive joy of the season.
-
Focus On Nostalgic Christmas
The next factor to emulate a Ralph Lauren aesthetic is a focus on nostalgia. Think–A Christmas Carol, Miracle on 34th St, and all the other Christmas classics we know and love. Pull inspiration from these films, go thrifting for vintage decor, or ask a relative for family relics to put on display! These charming additions to your home during the holidays can really make all the difference.

Natural Elements
A final consideration for bringing a timeless and charming vibe to your home this holiday season is the incorporation of natural elements. From fresh White Pine Garland to berries and leaves foraged from your own yard, natural accents really bring a festive design to life!
Natural Elements To Incorporate Into Your Christmas Display
Emerald Petite Arborvitae
The Emerald Petite Arborvitae is a perfect choice for decorating your home indoors or out this Christmas because its compact, vibrant, evergreen foliage brings year-round beauty and structure without overwhelming small spaces. Its excellent cold-hardiness, manageable size, and low-maintenance nature make it an ideal, durable option for porch pots, entryways, and festive container displays. Its refined shape also pairs beautifully with ribbons, lanterns, and other classic holiday accents for a polished seasonal look.
Dwarf Alberta Spruce
The Dwarf Alberta Spruce is a charming choice for Christmas decorating thanks to its naturally dense, classic mini–Christmas tree shape and compact, slow-growing habit that fits perfectly in small spaces or containers. Its soft needles are easy to adorn, and its hardy, low-maintenance nature makes it equally reliable for indoor holiday displays or outdoor winter arrangements. It’s the perfect little tree to embellish with twinkle lights, mini ornaments, or a simple velvet bow for effortless holiday charm.
Fresh White Pine Garland
Our Real White Pine Garland is perfect for creating a “Ralph Lauren Christmas” because its soft needles, fresh evergreen fragrance, and elegant, naturally draping shape bring that timeless, upscale rustic charm to mantels, staircases, and doorways.
With just a quick soak, regular misting, and placement away from heat, it stays lush for weeks, giving your home that classic, luxurious holiday look. You may even consider taking the natural vibes to a whole new level by baking some sliced oranges to string along the greens, bringing an extra pop of color!
White Birch Poles
Last but certainly not least on our list of natural holiday home accents is our White Birch Poles. White Birch Poles offer a natural, rustic, and elegant aesthetic, with their striking contrast of white bark, and are versatile for both indoor and outdoor decorations. Add to winter porch pots to incorporate height and texture, or display on their own for a simple yet elegant focal point! Their sculptural quality makes them an easy way to add instant sophistication to any holiday arrangement.
