Red, White & Refined

Americana has been on our minds all season, especially with America approaching its 250th year. This summer, we keep returning to the elements that capture that nostalgic feeling of our rich history and beautiful countryside: heritage inspired interiors, lived in textures, saturated color, collected objects for a sense of timelessness that feels both elegant and understated. Here is everything inspiring us right now, from the interiors we are designing to the way we are dressing the days in between.

Interior Inspiration

This season, we are inspired by a return to our roots, favoring rooms with heritage and character, layered with rich browns, terracotta, cognac, deep greens, and navy tones that feel rooted in the countryside and distinctly American.

This Phillip Jeffries mural wallcovering in Sepia sets the tone with a tranquil landscape scene, balanced by the more sculptural silhouette of the Caracole Sasso sectional. Urban Electric continues to be a go to source for lighting, and we love the timeless feel of the Hooper Hang pendant featured here. Collected elements like the Coque mirror from Comerford Collection, the new Rowe navy and cognac striped fabric, the Marchand cabinet by LeMieux et Cie, and our sister company Alder and Tweed Furniture’s Ford dining table and Collette dining chair all contribute to the layered heritage feel. The leather and green counter stool by YJ Interiors, a curated stack of Americana coffee table books, and this beautiful wicker basket by Loro Piana complete the mood.

Fashion & Lifestyle Guide

Ralph Lauren has always understood this particular American dream better than anyone, and this summer that world feels more relevant than ever. We are drawn to the effortless interplay of equestrian tradition and coastal ease, dressing the season in linen and leather, scarves and suede, with just enough western character to keep it feeling relaxed rather than overly polished.

Here is our his and hers fashion guide for the perfect Americana summer date night, featuring timeless Ralph Lauren pieces paired with a Hermès scarf, a Celine beach towel, the Loro Piana croquet set, and the Bailey picnic basket by Ralph Lauren, everything needed for the perfect summer evening, both in style and atmosphere.
