I’m Dreaming of a…Black Christmas?

by evie s. on November 29th, 2007

Just stroll through the Christmas tree aisle, and you’ll see many variations of everyone’s favorite holiday staple. Blue, red, and even pink Christmas trees are some of the options to choose from. Blueprint magazine put a bubble gum pink tree on the front cover of their November/December issue. I loved it.

But what about a black tree? They were the rage in London in 2005, now they are making their way to the U.S. A tree this daring would have to be decorated thoughtfully so it doesn’t look morbid or depressing, but it can definitely be pulled off. Keep in mind too that it needs to fit in with its surroundings. A black tree would add unexpected drama to a classic home with white walls to set it off, but it would seem out of place in a Victorian style setting.

I found some ornaments that you could start with and build from there.
