Decorating for Christmas with Red and Black

I’ve thought about decorating for Christmas in a red and black theme for a long time. There are so many unique and interesting ideas out there now, I may be able to pull it off.

What is fun about doing a black and red theme is that it can look very chic or down to earth. For instance, there are plenty of beautiful red and black plaid stockings, table runners, and tree skirts. Anytime I see plaid I always think of being a kid and wearing my Christmas pajamas.

On the other side, there are stunning black and red trees with decorations that glisten in the warm candle light with a modern twist. You could make your house look like it was straight out of a magazine. Take a look at some of these red and black holiday ideas (via Amazon; affiliate link) I’ve compiled and start getting inspired!

I always have to start with my Christmas tree when I begin decorating. It is the focal point during the holiday season! Instead of sticking with a generic green tree, there are fake colored Christmas trees including red and black. Plus stunning decorations!

Don’t forget to decorate your couches in your living room that surround the tree! Just a few pillows here and there will make them look festive!

Decorating your mantel or something alike is arguably just as vital as the tree.

Most of these mantel decorations can be used throughout the home, especially if you don’t have a fireplace (or don’t have room).

Get creative and put some decorations on the wall or hang them from the ceiling!
