Looking for ralph lauren christmas decor inspiration with plenty of plaid and red bows? These ideas bring together ornament-filled trees, pretty table settings and little holiday touches for your shelves.
Think deep green, navy and burgundy with a little gold-colored shine.
You can keep things simple or go all out. Start with a checked pillow or a ribbon-covered wreath, then decide whether you want to carry those same colors through the rest of your home.
Christmas decorating ideas worth saving
horse print and red bows
This mantel detail may just be one of my favorites here. The framed horse-and-rider print sits behind shiny ornaments, with red bows tucked into the greenery below.
You don’t have to put all your everyday art away for Christmas. Try adding a couple of ornaments in front of a favorite framed print instead.
navy and plaid pillows
Don’t want to go all out with decorations on your sofa? No problem!
Try a red-and-navy plaid pillow in front of plain navy and cream ones. I love how the checked rectangle sits across the larger pillows.
burgundy bows at every place
How pretty is this table? The white napkins have burgundy bows, with matching red tapers rising above the greenery and berry centerpiece.
Start with your white plates and add a darker ribbon to each napkin. The green-edged plates here are a lovely extra detail, but you could keep yours plain.
trailing staircase greenery
I am obsessed with this staircase garland. The greenery hangs in loose swags along the black railing, with narrow burgundy bows between them.

Those extra-long ribbon tails are the detail I’d keep. If you try this, secure them away from the steps and leave the handrail usable.
little tree and hanging bells
If you’re looking for a Christmas entryway without lots of red, this one is for you. A small potted tree sits beside a leaning picture and an arched mirror on the dark console.
I especially love the gold-colored bells hanging from the greenery at the other end. That little cluster is worth borrowing for your own table.
red plaid bedding accents
Bring a little Christmas color into your bedroom with red plaid pillows and a matching layer across the bed. The pale blue cover and black headboard make this different from an all-red holiday setup.

plaid presents and a bear pillow
If you are looking for lots of pattern inspiration, then this one is for you. There’s a striped seat, plaid stockings and checked presents with bright red bows.
That little dressed-up bear pillow is so cute! I’d start with the plaid gift wrap if you want to borrow just one detail from this full corner.
burgundy bows on the bar cart
This is such a pretty way to decorate a bar cart without covering the top in ornaments. Burgundy bows run around the front rail, with long tails hanging below the glasses and bottles.

Try repeating one ribbon color around your cart. The little gold-colored house on the lower shelf is a sweet finishing touch.
frosted branches and three bows
Don’t want to add baubles or bells to your wreath? No problem there!
This one has green branches, white-coated tips and three red bows. I love the long ribbon ends against the white door.
a red plaid tree skirt
The plaid fans are going to love this! A red-and-green tree skirt spreads beneath the branches, with little wrapped presents and a red stocking on top.
The sleigh and tall black boots give the corner a different look too. For a glowing detail near your own tree skirt, choose a flameless candle.
cream stockings and shiny ornaments
How cute are these stockings? The oversized cream cable pattern is my favorite part, especially with those red bows at the top.
Hang a shiny silver-colored ornament beside each bow to follow this mantel. The greenery continues down the side rather than stopping neatly at the edge.
an ornament bowl on books
If you’re looking for something small to try, go with this bowl of silver-colored ornaments. It sits on a stack of books in front of a mirror, with tall leafy branches behind it.
Mix a few patterned baubles with plain shiny ones rather than making every ornament match.
red roses and gold-edged plates
I am obsessed with this Christmas table. The dark red rose arrangements look gorgeous beside the tall red tapers and white place settings.
Each setting has stacked gold-edged dishes with a little cup on top. Try one low rose arrangement if you want a simpler version with more room for serving dishes.
teddy bears and tartan bows
OMG, how adorable is this tree? The little cream bears have checked bows that match the ribbons on the branches.
White balls and silver-colored ornaments fill the spaces between them. Keep that pale ornament mix if you want the bears and dark plaid to stand out.
red checks and a ruffled edge
This little pillow is just too cute. The red-and-white checks, ruffled border and raised white “HO HO HO” letters give you plenty of detail in one piece.
I’d pair it with a plain cream pillow rather than adding another small checked pattern right beside it.

blue ribbons overhead
Who says you have to stick to red ribbon? This chandelier has a full ring of greenery underneath the lights, with pale blue ribbons hanging down.
The little blue berry accents are lovely too. If you try an overhead arrangement, keep every decoration clear of bulbs and follow the fixture’s safety guidance.
plaid napkins in the kitchen
This kitchen has plenty of Christmas details to borrow, from the plaid napkins to the pinecones along the island greenery. I love the dark blue cabinetry with the gold-colored accents.
For your own kitchen, start with those checked napkins and an island centerpiece. Keep greenery away from the cooking area and use flameless tapers near decorations.
a checked chair and christmas cats
How cute is that cat pillow? It sits on a blue-and-white checked chair with a red plaid throw over the back.
The little Christmas trees and Santa figure on the side table make the corner even sweeter.

red bow and golden bells
Last but definitely not least, we have this gorgeous wreath on a deep green door. I love the oversized red bow!
Two gold-colored bells hang in the middle, surrounded by berries, pinecones and mixed leaf shapes.
Add a little lighted tree on either side of your door if you want to follow the full entryway look.
