A warm office style with the Ralph Lauren look.
Autumn and Winter always remind me of the Ralph Lauren look, which I especially love for the home. Classic English decoration, clubby libraries, worn leather and classic oil paintings are the hallmark of this scheme and one that is cozy and welcoming.
Habitually Chic had a fabulous spread of Ralph Lauren interiors that are timeless and filled with delicious decorative objects.
The English Country house look is usually achieved through layering objects collected over generations, thrown together, ultimately resulting in a rich tapestry of color and textures.
Visual interest is key so as long as you have an abundance of things like, pictures, books and candles, you're almost there. Old manor houses tend to have grand and elegant chandeliers, ornate gold mirrors and plenty of blue and white ginger jar lamps.
Elegance is key with this look and it certainly shows.
I really love the clubby feel of Ralph Lauren interiors. Rich hues of blue, red and green dominate. Persian carpets tend to be the unifying design element that brings it all together.
Detailed and heavily patterned rugs can instantly warm up the autumnal and winter room, but can also be a jumping off point for your entire design scheme. Think about coordinating lamp shades to the colors found in carpets for a truly cohesive look.
1. Richly hued leather furniture like the Royalton Cognac Wingback Chair create a clubby feel.
2. The Design Your Own Schonbek Sterling Collection 12-Light Crystal Chandelier is a touch of English Manor House that never goes out of style.
3. Whether barefoot or in riding boots the Nourison Jaipur Red Area Rug is just what is needed underfoot.
4. Try the Chauncey Antiqued Gold Leaf Wall Mirror over a dining room buffet or in the foyer for a nod to regal decorating.
5. The English Floral Hand-Painted Porcelain Ginger Jar Table Lamp has never gone out of style for obvious reasons...so lovely.
