When discussing the Kardashians, their design choices often lean toward maximalism. However, one of the clan's Christmas trees aligns with the 'naked' trend we first saw everywhere last winter, from Michelle Pfeiffer to Victoria Beckham's homes. Now, in 2025, the look remains just as chic (if not, even more stylish).
Kourtney Kardashian is an example of someone who embraced this pared-back style, having shared a photo of her lightly decorated tree. Though its accessories are minimal, featuring simple string lights that add a subtle shimmer to the greenery, the sheer scale of the tree still makes a strong statement.
This look is extremely simple to reproduce, making it appealing for those of us with limited time who wish to achieve a chic, understated, yet traditional Christmas tree in our homes during the holiday season. To try this, experiment with a streamlined tree topper and some soft string lights (like these from Target) for a minimal, Scandi-style tree.

Kardashian's home is well-known for its minimalist decor – an aesthetic that is often challenging to adapt over the holidays. Yet, Kardashian's tree (along with those of other celebrities who have adopted this style) serves as a reminder that one can be both pared-back and festive simultaneously.
'Many people shy away from traditional Christmas colors in a minimalist home, thinking it will clash with their aesthetic. But trust me, with a little creativity, you can create a festive atmosphere that's both stylish and sophisticated,' remarks Ola Jordan, an interior designer at EZ Living Furniture. Keeping your Christmas tree minimalist is one way to achieve this – but adding texture throughout the room is just as crucial for a cozy winter feel.
'Texture becomes even more important in a neutral space [like Kardashian's]. Think of layers of natural materials like wool, linen, sheepskin, and wood. A chunky knit throw draped over a sofa, a sheepskin rug warming the floor, and a collection of wooden candle holders on the mantelpiece,' Jordan explains. 'These elements add warmth and visual interest without relying on color.'
