30+ Black And Green Christmas Decor Ideas For Your Home
Are you thinking of switching up your Christmas decor this year? If you’re tired of the traditional red and white, black and green could be the fresh, modern look you’re after. These colors work beautifully together, and create a holiday vibe that feels bold and festive without being too much (we never want to be too much!).
The best part? You can easily DIY these ideas at home with just a few simple materials (I’m a huge fan of crafts and DIYs).
In this post, I’ll share a bunch of black and green Christmas decor ideas that you can create yourself. Whether you’re looking to decorate your tree, set up a festive table, or dress up your mantel, these ideas are easy, and perfect for the Christmas season.
1. A Platter with Dark Green Candles and Black Pinecones
A platter with dark green candles and black pinecones makes a stunning centerpiece for any Christmas table. To create this, all you need is a platter, a few dark green pillar candles, and some black pinecones.
You can spray paint real pinecones black or buy pre-painted ones from a craft store. Then arrange the candles in the center of the platter and place the pinecones around them.
2. A Platter with Black Wooden Reindeer and Green Pine Branches
For a rustic yet modern look, a platter featuring black wooden reindeer and green pine branches works perfectly. You can buy or make your own black wooden reindeer cutouts—if you’re into crafting, a coat of black paint will transform any wooden figure.
Place the reindeer figures on a platter and tuck in fresh or faux green pine branches around them. The pop of green against the black reindeer creates a striking look that feels festive without being over the top. This centerpiece is perfect for coffee tables or as a unique addition to your Christmas dinner table.
3. Black Velvet Bows with Silver Baubles
For an elegant look, you can’t go wrong with black velvet bows on a green Christmas tree, paired with silver baubles. To DIY this look, grab some black velvet ribbon and tie it into bows. Place the bows evenly around your tree to make it look balanced.
The contrast between the black velvet and the green tree is a nice change from the usual Christmas trees, and the silver baubles add just the right amount of sparkle without being too much.
4. Christmas Wreath with Green Pine Branches and Black Velvet Bows
You can also DIY a Christmas wreath made with green pine branches and black velvet bows. Start with a base of fresh or faux pine branches, forming a wreath. Then, make a few black velvet bows using velvet ribbon.
You can use one bow or several. If you use several, attach the bows to the wreath at even intervals, either with hot glue or floral wire. The green and black combination looks chic and festive, offering a fresh take on traditional wreaths. Hang this on your front door or inside.
5. Christmas Wreath with Sparkly Green and Black Baubles
If you want something festive but still in the black and green theme, try making a Christmas wreath with sparkly green and black baubles. Start with a wreath base, either made of pine or grapevine.
Attach green and black sparkly baubles to the wreath using hot glue, alternating between the colors for balance. This wreath gives off a bold look with a bit of holiday shimmer.
6. Cute Winter Pillows
To DIY this, you can either use fabric paint or iron-on letters to create the “winter” design. If you’re feeling crafty, stenciling the letters yourself with black paint can give it a more personal touch.
This pillow can be placed on your couch or bed, adding a soft pop of color and a seasonal feel. The sage green is perfect for blending with other decor, while the black lettering keeps it modern and understated.
7. Black Wooden Reindeer Figures and Green Pine Garland
Your fireplace mantel is the perfect spot for a black and green Christmas display. To achieve this look, start by placing a garland of green pine branches across the mantel.
Then, add black wooden reindeer figures evenly spaced along the garland. You can make your own reindeer figures from wood or buy pre-made ones and paint them black.
8. Green and Black Checkered Velvet Stockings
You can DIY this look by making your own stockings with green and black velvet fabric or buying pre-made ones. The velvet texture feels luxurious, while the checkered pattern brings the coziness of your usual rustic Christmas.
Hang them with small metal hooks or use festive ribbon to attach them to your mantel. These stockings are the perfect way to tie your fireplace decor into the black and green Christmas theme, adding both comfort and style.
9. Black Lantern with Green Velvet Bow
A black lantern decorated with a green velvet bow and green pine branches is such a cute twist on the usual Christmas decor. Plus you can literally make so many versions of these!
Take a black lantern, one you might already have at home or can easily find at a store, and tie a green velvet bow around the handle. Arrange some green pine branches around the base of the lantern to complete the look.
This DIY is easy and, perfect for placing on your mantel, dining table, or front porch.
10. Black and Green Porcelain Christmas Trees
For a minimalistic yet festive look, black and green porcelain Christmas trees on a small living room table work beautifully. You can buy porcelain trees, then paint them black and green to match your decor.
You can also find these in store all ready to go if you’re not very crafty! And that’s totally okay!
11. Black Napkins Wrapped in Green Velvet Bows
For your Christmas dinner table, black napkins wrapped in green velvet bows can work wonderfully. Start by folding your black napkins neatly, then wrap a green velvet ribbon around each one, tying it into a bow. This DIY is easy but adds a lot of style to your table.
12. Magical Jars
What about a jar filled with dark green and black sparkly stars and twinkly lights to make the room feel more magical? Start with a clear glass jar, then add a string of twinkle lights inside.
Mix in dark green and black sparkly star cutouts or small ornaments, layering them throughout the jar. You cna make these stars out of cardboard and paint or simple use small Christmas ornaments!
When lit up, the twinkle lights will shine through the stars, creating a magical effect, perfect for the Christmas season!
13. Black Baubles and Black Bead Garland
For your main Christmas tree, a green tree decorated with black baubles and a black bead garland can give that dark but trendy vibe. Start with a green Christmas tree, then add black baubles throughout the branches.
Next, drape a black bead garland around the tree, making sure it’s evenly spaced. You can use a beaded garland you already owned and spray paint it if you’d like to DIY it!
