Timeless Luxury Interiors: The Allure of Ralph Lauren
The world seems to be favoring timeless interiors more than ever. Maybe we are tired of trends. Constantly replacing home pieces to keep our style from looking dated is exhausting. Whatever the reason, I am here for it!
Because of this rising love for timeless interiors, the style of Ralph Lauren has become front and center muse for styling spaces that will stand the test of time. Ralph Lauren is the perfect embodiment of classic, luxury, and refinement.
Let’s break down the components that make up that Ralph Lauren style & how you can apply them to your own space:
Leather: Think vintage & dark-browns, blacks, maybe an occasional forest green. Sofas and even leather wrapped accessories are great options!
Mixing Vintage with Contemporary: An antique gold framed art piece paired with a modern shaped dark wood furniture piece is chef’s kiss!
Plaid: A nod to the classic & “preppy” style of the English countryman. Look for plaid in fabrics & wallcoverings.
Dark Wood: To create warmth & mimic an “old world” estate. Make use of dark wood in artwork frames, shelving, & furniture.
Deep, Rich Colors: Both warm tones and dark, moody colors are the way to go. We are talking creamy cashmeres, deep navies, forest greens with black and brass metal accents.
Quality Pieces: While you sure do not need to splurge on every single item you own, I do recommend investing in your large pieces if you want them to last. Quality pieces are easy to spot, and contribute to the timelessness of your space. I am referring to items like dining room table or a large featured light fixture (think the main items of the space.)
Nods to American & European Style: Think equestrian style ( aka HORSES! like Polo, of course!), small nods to American Western style, the “preppy” style of Ivy Leagues, and the classic yet leisurely style of a country club.
These are just a few of the timeless elements that create the beautiful style that is Ralph Lauren. Of course this style is not the only way to achieve a tailored and timeless space, but it is certainly an iconic look and is here to stay!
