The holiday line reflects the signature aesthetic of Lone Fox, leaning away from conventional commercial motifs in favor of a handcrafted, organic look. Rather than featuring the standard assortment of snowmen and traditional Santas, Scott’s collection introduces whimsical woodland themes and earthy elements. The assortment spans cross-stitch-inspired stockings, crocheted lace candle ornaments, and faux bois dinner plates that evoke a cozy, storybook atmosphere. According to the designer, traditional holiday decor has never quite aligned with his personal taste. The forest-inspired theme serves as a subtle nod to the guiding tagline of his brand: “We hunt so you can gather.”
Known for embracing an elaborate, immersive approach to decorating his own living spaces during the winter holidays, Scott recently shared insights into how he is styling his home for the season, alongside the standout pieces from his collaboration with the retailer.
His West Elm Holiday Standouts
When reviewing the expansive collection, Scott points to the ceramics as some of his personal favorites. The line features a faux bois, marbled brown-on-cream dinnerware set where each individual piece varies slightly due to hand-applied treatments and differing levels of surface sheen. By definition, faux bois creates the visual illusion of natural wood through alternative materials. For this collection, Scott and the design team developed a sculptural, ochre-colored ceramic set that mimics carved wood, bringing a narrative, storybook quality to the dining table. Among the standout items are the Lone Fox Faux Bois Cereal Bowl Set, priced at $64, and the Lone Fox Faux Bois Pitcher, available for $50. Both pieces embody the rich, tactile qualities that define the overall collaboration.
His 2026 Christmas Tree Plan
When it comes to the centerpiece of holiday decorating, Scott maintains a distinct vision for his seasonal foliage. Expressing a long-held design preference for organic and unstructured forms, he notes his desire to source a real blue spruce Christmas tree. The appeal lies in the tree’s distinctive blue branches and natural, whimsical silhouette, which contrasts sharply with the perfectly symmetrical, heavily sheared artificial trees frequently found in mainstream retail displays.
His Chic Wreath Hack
During the staging and photography process for the collaboration, Scott and his team utilized creative placement strategies to maximize the visual impact of the greenery. By positioning a collection wreath directly over the fireplace and allowing a matching green garland to cascade down the side, the display gained immediate depth and movement. By intertwining an additional green garland, the arrangement achieved a lush, layered effect. The collection’s signature garland incorporates branchy, sparse greenery with a subtle, moody quality that bridges the seasonal gap between autumn and winter, allowing it to transition smoothly from Halloween to Christmas displays. Furthermore, the integrated battery-operated lighting provides a warm, effortless glow without the clutter of visible cords. Among the featured items in this category is the Lone Fox Faux Twisty Stick Garland, priced at $129, designed to bring architectural height and natural texture to interior spaces.
Other Spots He Hangs Holiday Greenery
Working within the architectural framework of his Spanish-style residence, Scott leverages built-in architectural features to anchor his seasonal decorations. Arched entryways, built-in shelving units, and traditional mantles provide natural guidelines for draping botanical elements. In addition to traditional placements, he extends greenery across unconventional surfaces, such as hanging arrangements over iron dining room light fixtures to completely transform the atmosphere of a tablescape. By adhering closely to a home’s existing structural lines and framing functional elements like bookcases and kitchen windows, holiday decor feels integrated rather than temporary or overwhelming. The collection supports this approach with expansive statement pieces like the Lone Fox Oversized Garland, retailed at $199.
His Low-Lift Mantle Decor
Creating an impressive holiday mantle does not require purchasing an abundance of commercial items, according to the designer. Scott’s preferred starting point involves stepping outside to source a large, naturally fallen branch measuring roughly six to seven feet in length. This straightforward approach provides a zero-cost foundation that delivers an organic, highly sculptural structure. Whether resting flat on the mantle surface or sloping upward from the hearth tile to the wooden shelf, a substantial natural branch establishes a powerful leading line. This architectural element can then be easily filled in with smaller decorative objects, candles, and seasonal accents. For those seeking a retail equivalent that captures the same sculptural essence, the Lone Fox Faux Twisty Stick Stem is available for $80.
What He Wants for Christmas
Beyond the professional milestones and the demands of seasonal home styling, Scott keeps his personal holiday wish list grounded in practicality and comfort. When asked about his own preferences for gift-giving, the designer notes an appreciation for personal care items—specifically thoughtful products that he might not typically purchase for himself, but would thoroughly enjoy incorporating into a daily routine.
