Moody and dark décor has become a hot trend, and it’s used everywhere and for special occasions like weddings, fetes or celebrations. Today’s roundup is dedicated to this trend but taken for Christmas, which is definitely non-traditional and different but looks magnificent.
Dark Tablescapes
Rock a refined dark table setting in black, charcoal grey, navy, slate and other shades like that. A black tablecloth, dark plates and cups, black candles in gold candle holders and evergreens as a centerpiece will make your table setting stunning and sophisticated. A rustic table with dark plates and grey fabric will look cozy and unique, add berries and evergreens for a table runner or centerpiece. To keep the décor moody don’t go for light-colored or bright items on the table, keep everything matte and dark or calm.
Other Décor Ideas
Dark grey, slate, dark green and black are the best colors for décor. Decorate your dark stairs with vintage ornaments, berries and leaves. Metallic décor and ornaments are right what you need to spruce up the interior because they don’t look too bright in the dark interiors and shine just a bit; use black, emerald and metallic ornaments for tree décor. If you are looking for sophisticated décor, choose dark purple and maybe gold. If you want something industrial, opt for metal and concrete touches, for grey fabrics and matte gold or silver candle holders, shabby chic items and evergreens. Candles and lights are a necessary thing, especially for a dark interior because otherwise it will look too boring and not mysterious.
Gift Wrapping
Gifts will be a part of your décor because we usually place them the tree, so keep the gifts in the same colors as the tree or the whole moody décor. For example, use black or charcoal grey wrapping paper, black ribbon or twine and fresh greenery or evergreens with berries. Chalkboard wrapping paper will be ideal for minimal wrapping, you can chalk the name right on the gift.
Treats
Keep the food dark, too, so your guests will be impressed even more and it’ll become a part of the décor. A traditional bundt cake can be with dark chocolate and candied berries, serve Linzer cookies, cover fruit and berries with dark chocolate and add sea salt for a refined look and taste.
