As we look toward the 2025 holiday season, the aesthetic of quiet luxury continues to shape our interiors, making a strong case for refined, low-maintenance decor. For those seeking modern, understated elegance, a minimalist scheme with no frills is the perfect answer. In my opinion, few embody this look with more discipline than socialite Khloe Kardashian.
The reality mogul's commitment to minimalist Christmas decor ideas – always simple, refined, and, most importantly, easy to replicate – is a masterclass in sophistication.
Khloe’s famous Christmas tree and mantel, seen in an older post from her archive, remain a stunning example of this trend, proving its lasting power. Her tree is intentionally undressed, free from ornaments, heavy tinsel, and even a traditional topper. Its only adornment is a dense cascade of twinkling warm white LED lights.
Though unconventional, this no-ornament, ‘nearly-naked’ aesthetic is masterful in its simplicity. It embodies an interior design trend that will remain just as stylish in 100 years, offering a subtle, refined cheer that can be easily incorporated all winter long. Opting for this stripped-back design celebrates the natural beauty of the tree, whether it is a fragrant real fir or a beautifully shaped faux piece.
This move toward mindful decorating is key to its relevance. Dayna Isom Johnson, Etsy’s Trend Expert, notes this shift in consumer mindset: ‘A minimalist approach at Christmas time is a great way to focus on quality over quantity and be more thoughtful about the way you decorate for the festive season.’
Embracing this ‘less is more’ aesthetic comes down to prioritizing a few sophisticated, high-quality elements. The finished look remains show-stopping and impactful if you focus on: a gorgeous, well-shaped tree; wonderful, sparkling lighting that defines the space; and a dense, luxurious garland on the mantel.
This streamlined approach to luxury is not unique to Khloe; you just have to look at Victoria Beckham’s Christmas tree and Michelle Pfeiffer’s Christmas tree for further inspiration for this celeb-approved, enduring trend.
