We can't really talk about holiday decor without discussing a little styling in the dining room too...
Along with my dramatic black Christmas tree, I'm going to have to create a table setting that can compete for attention! Perhaps some classic sophistication in black and warm neutrals (and a hit of red?).
Or a super vintage inspired mint and pale pink (with doses of black to tie in with the tree of course). I could see this going very retro meets deco.
Or, what my be my favorite (no surprise) a rich shade of green with tons of shimmering gold. Care to place your vote?

My vote is the black with warm neutrals and plenty of gold accents to bring in the bling! It won't compete with your stunning black tree, will look amazing with those tan dining chairs (sooo good), and will keep your palette consistent throughout the space. It will also make a great photo op for the blog...tree and tablescape together...

I think my vote is for option 1, primarily because that's the route I'm taking, and I think for your black tree it will look amazing.
