Ralph Lauren’s Holiday Elegance on Bond Street
Discover how Ralph Lauren’s timeless holiday dining collection transforms festive tables into masterpieces of style and tradition—straight from my visit to their iconic Bond Street store.
As I stepped off the tube and made my way down Bond Street in the pouring rain (typical London, of course), I tried to manage my expectations. After all, I’d seen the grand Ralph Lauren holiday décor — the minimal yet sparkling wreaths, garlands, and that stunning gold-adorned tree — countless times on social media. But as we approached the iconic building, I was greeted with exactly that: a vision of timeless elegance. (Although, full disclosure, I was so busy looking at Google Maps that I accidentally walked right past it and had to do an awkward U-turn. Classic.)
Even on a dull, grey, and rainy day, Ralph Lauren’s signature sophistication shone through. The upper balcony was filled with identical trees twinkling with gold lights, setting the tone for the décor below. The windows were framed with perfectly placed garlands, their deep greens complemented by Ralph Lauren’s signature blue and gold. Three windows sparkled with twinkling lights, and directly below, elegant navy-blue awnings embroidered with “Ralph Lauren” in gold completed the look. A polished red telephone box stood nearby, strategically positioned for the perfect Instagram photo, of course.
Ralph’s Coffee & Holiday Hosting Inspiration
After taking a moment to admire the exterior, I joined the queue for Ralph’s famous coffee — and yes, it was actually worth it.
Ralph Lauren Home, located on the lower floor, instantly transported me into a cosy, holiday-ready atmosphere. Carpeted stairs led down past cabinets filled with mugs, glasses, and tableware that could effortlessly elevate any kitchen island.
For those planning to host this holiday season, Ralph Lauren’s dining displays offered the perfect dose of inspiration.
Table 1: Casual Elegance with a Natural Touch
The first tablescape embraced a relaxed yet refined vibe. A round, glossy wooden table was surrounded by wicker chairs softened with cream cushions. The centrepiece featured an organic arrangement of deep green fern branches and white florals, housed in what appeared to be a reclaimed wood stump — natural, understated, and effortlessly chic.
A bowl from the Garden Vine collection, filled with gold baubles of varying sizes, added a festive, “I just threw this together” flair (one we can all relate to — who knew I decorated like Ralph Lauren?). The look was further elevated by Small Modern Hurricane candle holders.
Each place setting included:
A gold tray as a base
Gold cutlery that tied together the metallic touches
Coraline White Wine Glass and Red Wine Glass
The mix of gold, deep greens, and natural textures created a holiday setting that felt timeless and I’m going to use the word again, cosy.
Table 2: Sleek Sophistication with a Modern Edge
On the opposite side, the vibe shifted dramatically. A glass table was surrounded by black, ribbed leather chairs, framed in a glossy wooden finish. Silver took centre stage here.
The table featured:
Remy White Wine Glass paired with the Remy Iced Beverage Glass
Alexander Salad Plate and Wiltshire Bread & Butter Plate in silver and white
Wessex Dinner Plates for added depth
Deep red candles on Montgomery Candlestick Holders — a bold and festive touch.
The combination of silver tones, sleek lines, and rich red accents delivered an effortlessly modern holiday aesthetic.
Final Thoughts
Two distinct settings — one warm and natural, the other sleek and sophisticated — yet both undeniably Ralph Lauren: timeless, elegant, and holiday-ready. Whether your style leans cosy and organic or sleek and polished, these tablespaces prove that hosting can (and should) be a beautiful, elevated experience.
I’m a fan.
