Ralph Lauren–Inspired English Country Living Room
Dark, collected, and unapologetically traditional. This room layers deep green, warm wood, equestrian art, aged brass and unexpected animal print for an English country look with a little Ralph Lauren attitude. The best part? The pieces used to recreate the look are all shoppable from Amazon.
Shop the Room
Accent Chairs
☐ Cream Tufted Wingback Chairs
The light upholstery keeps the room from becoming too heavy while the tufting, rolled arms and nailhead details give the chairs the traditional silhouette this look needs.
Wall Art
☐ Vintage Equestrian Hunting Scene
The piece that sets the tone for the entire room. A vintage-inspired fox-hunting scene in a warm gold frame brings in the equestrian influence and makes the room feel collected rather than newly decorated. Plus this piece comes framed, in a ton of sizes and starts at just $19!
Wall Sconces
☐ Antique Brass & Green Ceramic Wall Sconces
Flanking the artwork with sconces gives the wall a more architectural, designer feel. The aged brass finish and subtle green ceramic detail tie beautifully into the dark walls and floral textiles. Did I mention they are battery operated, so no install required!
Curtains
☐ Dark Green Floral Velvet Curtains
These are the drama. The deep green ground and traditional floral pattern introduce the layered English-country feeling while the velvet texture makes the room feel especially rich.
Rug
☐ Faux Zebra Hide Rug
For only $70, this rug makes the whole room! Every traditional room needs something that breaks the rules. The zebra print gives all the florals, wood and equestrian references a little edge and keeps the room from feeling too serious.
Magazine Rack
☐ Brown Leather & Metal Magazine Rack
A small detail that makes a surprisingly big difference. The warm leather works beautifully against the wood fireplace and gives the room another element that feels collected over time.
Throw Pillow
☐ Chocolate Brown Velvet Pillow Cover
A simple solid was intentional here. With so much pattern happening elsewhere in the room, the rich chocolate velvet gives the eye somewhere to rest while pulling out the warm brown tones in the artwork and wood. Plus they are an amazing deal at two pillow cases for $10!
Lumbar Pillow
☐ Vintage Green Bird Lumbar Pillow
The finishing layer on the chairs. The muted green, traditional border and bird motif feel appropriately old-world without competing with the floral curtains or zebra rug.
Design Takeaway
The secret to getting the Ralph Lauren look isn't filling a room with “Ralph Lauren–style” pieces. It's the mix.
Something traditional. Something tailored. Something old. Something slightly eccentric.
Here, the equestrian painting and dark wood establish the traditional foundation. Floral velvet curtains add richness. Cream chairs create contrast. The zebra rug gives the room personality. And small details — brass sconces, velvet pillows, leather and candlelight — are what make the whole thing feel finished.
The result feels layered, expensive and collected.
It just happens to be from Amazon.
