With an eye for designing timeless pieces with a youthful bent, Reagan Hayes's self-named furniture company is a neotraditionalist's dream. Nostalgic design details like feminine tufting, tailored skirting, and nail-head trimming look remarkably fresh with Reagan's choice of fabrics and reimagined silhouettes. We caught up with the Los Angeles-based tastemaker to see how she celebrates the holidays, California style.

My go-to holiday centerpiece is: a bouquet of white poinsettias.

During the holidays, my house smells like: garland and fig candles.

My holiday playlist includes: Harry Connick Jr. and the Charlie Brown Christmas album.

The one essential element of my holiday decor is: starfish — I love having a California Christmas tree!

If I lived in a world where I didn't eat takeout with my feet on the coffee table, occasionally work from home in my pajamas, and wear the same pair of jeans three days in a row, I'd most definitely welcome the Jane Lounge Chair ($3,300) by Reagan Hayes into my living room. As it stands, my life is too casual for a dapper thing like this. But oh, how beautiful it is with its tailored silhouette and rich cherry stain and subtly lustrous upholstery. At the very least, I'd love to have a small formal sitting room for cocktail parties and bombshells like this. Then I might be able to fool myself out of my everyday informality.
