Said to embrace the shadowy side of winter,“this is more just the moodiness of it all, and I love that it’s not only with black, but also inspired by celestial themes,” explains Johnson. So you’ll see lots of Victorian curvatures in items, she points out, especially within candle holders, candelabras etc. But says to also think about materials such as polka dots, and black lace that can be used for table décor. “Again, black candles, lots of heavy velvets, all of these things that read very sophisticated and moody. “But you add that level of celestial themes too, with the moon and stars, and it really elevates it.”
Along with black accents, Johnson says for gothmas,“it’s leaning into the deep jewel tones, like the emerald greens, like the navy, alongside that moody black.” And if you’re dreaming of a chic Christmas, a monochrome palette with magical touches such as a crescent moon topper really brings home the look of luxe… while championing a heavenly scheme.
