22 Black Christmas Tree Ideas for a Unique Take on Holiday Decor

Black Christmas trees have become a trend in recent years that appeals to a wide range of tastes and can be adapted in interiors ranging from minimalist and modern to traditional, vintage, eclectic, boho-style, and more.

Dress a black Christmas tree simply in cool white lights for a sophisticated, minimalist look. String it with warm lights and gold-tone metallics for a regal and dramatic feel. Or use the black branches as a base for colorful decor in any shade that pleases you, from pink to blue to purple.

Check out these black Christmas trees in a range of sizes, shapes, and styles for inspiration. 

Black Boho-Style Tree

Black Christmas trees can be sleek and sophisticated or playful and bohemian-inspired depending on how you style them. Carrine Jensen decorated a bushy black Christmas tree with oversized black ball ornaments and natural materials like a dried floral garland draped at an angle for an asymmetrical look.

Modern Black Christmas Tree

A black Christmas tree decorated with cool white lights will complement a modern black-and-white living room. This tree from Covet by Tricia is decorated with cool white lights to match the room decorated with a black-and-white gallery wall.

Give your black Christmas tree a vintage feel by decorating it in shades of pink and gold. From House to Home embellished this black Christmas tree with plenty of texture, from the feathered and glittery ball ornaments to the faux feathers and flowers for a maximalist take on the holidays.

A skinny black Christmas tree works especially well in small modern spaces. The Glamorous Gleam positioned this Christmas tree between the windows in the modern living room decorated in shades of black and white. The tree is decorated with gold and silver ornaments, complementing the room's decor.

If a solid black tree is a step too far out of your comfort zone, decorate your green, white, gold, or other color tree with black ornaments, garlands, ribbons, picks, and wrapped gifts for an elevated look.

DIY Plywood Black Tree

If you're looking for a Christmas tree alternative, consider making your own DIY black Christmas tree panel. Dans le Lakehouse made this living room Christmas tree with a sheet of plywood and black paint for a Scandinavian-inspired feel.

Black and Bronze Tree

Combine warm tones such as amber and bronze with black for a sophisticated feel. Craftberry Bush decorated this Christmas tree with black and bronze ornaments, ribbons, and garlands for a lush look.

A flocked black Christmas tree will soften the look of black branches with a snow-kissed look.
