When it comes to the Kardashians, often design choices tend to veer into maximalism. However, one of the clan members' Christmas trees adheres to the 'naked' trend we keep seeing everywhere, from Michelle Pfeiffer to Victoria Beckham's homes.
Kourtney Kardashian is the latest to partake in the pared-back style, having recently shared a snap of her lightly-decorated tree. While its accessories are minimal, with simple string lights adding some shimmer to the greenery, the tree still leaves a strong impression due to its scale.
The look is super easy to replicate, making it desirable for those of us with tight time constraints to achieve a chic, understated, yet traditional Christmas tree in our homes. Try experimenting with a sleek tree topper or some wood ornaments for a minimal, Scandi-style tree.

Simplicity at its finest. We recommend using these lights to subtly dress up your tree – the Kardashian way. If you want to keep your decor down to just lights (as she does), the brass finish will add a simple, shiny touch that's both impactful and effortless.

While Kourtney Kardashian has opted out of a tree topper, we can see a minimalist accessory working wonders. Sporting a simplistic style, this classic tree topper is perfect for decorating a tree year after year.
Kardashian's home is renowned for its minimalist decor – an aesthetic that's a notoriously tricky base for Christmas decor. However, Kardashian's tree (along with the other celebrities who have followed this style) reminds us that you can simultaneously be pared-back yet festive.
'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,' comments Ola Jordan, an interior designer at EZ Living Furniture. Ensuring your Christmas tree remains minimalist is one way to encourage this – but texture around your whole room is similarly important.
'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 says. 'These elements add warmth and visual interest without relying on color.'
