Every year, basically as soon as the clock turns to midnight on November 1, my FYP and Pinterest feed turn into a cozy, snowy holiday dreamscape that I, as a Californian, long for—fireplaces glowing, plaid blankets draped over leather chairs, and the kind of table settings and decor that look straight out of a Ralph Lauren Christmas ad. All I want is for my place to feel as timeless and chic as what my algorithm is feeding me. The only problem? My wallet is not built for this kind of feat. I would probably get a fraud alert from my bank if I even attempted to replicate what I see influencers buying to decorate their spaces. But don’t worry—that’s not stopping me.
This year, I decided to get creative. Instead of doomscrolling through inspiration boards, I found a way to recreate that rich, cozy, Ralph Lauren Christmas vibe without blowing my entire holiday budget (and part of my life savings). With a little strategic decorating and some affordable, high-quality finds from CVS, I’m leaning into a classic holiday look that’s just as warm and charming as the original.
A Ralph Lauren Christmas is all about timeless tradition with a touch of luxury. Think deep jewel tones, tartan patterns, rich woods, and metallic accents that make every corner of your home feel curated and cozy. It’s less about flashy holiday trends and more about creating a sense of warmth and nostalgia—like an old English estate, a craftsman-style home on the East Coast, or the holiday episodes of Gossip Girl.
To channel that look at home, you want to blend textures and tones: soft knits, warm candlelight, rustic wood, and just the right amount of gold detailing. And of course, you don’t need an unlimited budget or designer furniture to get it. You just need a few well-chosen pieces that evoke that same feel. Below, we’ve rounded up affordable decor finds from CVS that look straight out of a Ralph Lauren Christmas spread for a fraction of the price. Here are our picks:
