Lone Fox and West Elm Debut Forest-Themed Holiday Collection

The new holiday collection from Lone Fox and West Elm marks a full-circle moment for designer Drew Scott, who previously worked as a sales associate and in-home stylist at the retailer before launching his interior design career. This collaboration features an array of handmade-looking pieces adorned with woodland motifs, including cross stitch-inspired stockings, intricately crocheted ornaments, and elegantly designed faux bois dinnerware.

Design Philosophy and Product Details

“I’m not a huge traditional holiday decor person,” Scott says in the collection’s promotion. The forest theme reflects his brand’s tagline: “We hunt so you can gather.” Among the standout pieces is the Lone Fox Faux Bois Cereal Bowl Set, a marbled brown-on-cream ceramic dinnerware collection with hand-applied treatments that create variation in sheen. Each piece is meticulously crafted to mimic wood grain without using actual wood, giving the set a storybook aesthetic that complements various holiday decor styles.

The Lone Fox Faux Twisty Stick Garland features branchy, sparse greenery with a slight spooky feel, making it suitable for both Halloween and Christmas celebrations. The battery-operated lights add versatility, allowing placement in various locations throughout the home without electrical constraints.

Scott’s Personal Holiday Decorating Vision

He expressed a long-standing desire to incorporate a real blue spruce Christmas tree, drawn to its blue branches and organic, whimsical appearance for his collection’s promotion.

Scott also highlighted his interest in including personal care items in the collaboration, focusing on products he wouldn’t typically purchase for himself but would enjoy using.

Styling Tips and Personal Approach

Scott emphasizes architectural integration in his holiday styling. In his Spanish-style home, he drapes greenery across built-ins, archways, and fireplace mantles, often framing bookcases and kitchen windows with natural elements. For mantles, he recommends sourcing large 6- to 7-foot branches from outdoors, using them as sculptural bases upon which to build additional decorative elements, creating a dynamic and layered visual effect.

The collection also includes the Lone Fox Forest Jacquard Mix Blanket (Full/Queen).
