Re: Black and White for Christmas

I really like the simplicity of it & that would be perfect for my younger sons home.  Very minimal & totally modern (black & white) decor & industrial.

Re: Black and White for Christmas

I do like quirky, personal design, whether in home decor or one's Christmas decorations.  But somehow, this looks sort of "self-consciously hip" to me-- too contrived.  Minimal or not (and I can really like minimal) there's a real element of joy and "other-worldliness" in Christmas, that just seems missing here...

Not a fan.

 

I have seen beautifully decorated white trees, but I don't care for this look.

Wouldn't be my choice as a main tree, but if I were into "trees all over the house", I would definitely appreciate that look.

Re: Black and White for Christmas

I am a big fan of Black and White in Fashion, but not in Christmas Decor.....I see this in the home of a young, chic, couple who wants to be different. It is cool in its own way, just not my style or taste.......

Re: Black and White for Christmas

A few years back.......in one of the upscale areas......there was a townhome decorated with a black and white holiday theme.  The home and decorations were stunning.  The home drew cars moving every so slowly with people looking thru the huge windows in the front of the  home.  It was stunning.....LOL.

Re: Black and White for Christmas

It’s lovely in a somber, “I’m too cool for color” kind of way, but I enjoy a cheerful Christmas tree, not an art piece.

Re: Black and White for Christmas

I like black and white in decor, but not in my Christmas tree.  But I can see this as an alternative for folks who want to try something different. 

 

Here is another option:

I've used mauve, gold, brown, off white, pink and dark red on my main tree.  I have never used purple but I think it's really pretty on this tree and could be used in moderation.
