Some people love vibrant, maximalist, and glittering Christmas decorations, while others prefer something more understated. If you fall into the latter group, you don’t have to look far for inspiration — just take a look at Michelle Pfeiffer’s home.
+ The biggest Christmas decoration trends of 2025, according to designers
The actress shared on Instagram a Christmas tree idea that is every minimalist’s dream. Pfeiffer’s tree has no ornaments, garlands, or tinsel: its only decoration is a set of delicate white lights that add an ethereal and refined touch.
According to *Homes & Gardens*, the concept is radical in its simplicity — and that’s exactly what makes it timeless. It’s a design that will remain elegant for decades, as there’s nothing about it that could go out of style.
Although it may seem like a choice that goes against current trends, Pfeiffer’s minimalist Christmas style perfectly aligns with a broader shift in contemporary design. Megan Slack, head of celebrity style at *Homes & Gardens*, explains:
“In recent years, we’ve seen a move away from the idea that there’s a single ‘standard’ for what a Christmas tree should look like. Celebrities are choosing more personalized trees that reflect their own décor styles. In this case, Pfeiffer’s tree mirrors the simple and classic nature of her home.”
The simplicity of Christmas lights also reinforces a growing concept: sustainable décor. As *Homes & Gardens* highlights, more people are seeking elements that can be used all year round, not just during the festive season.
“I love the idea of decorating super-minimalist branch trees — it’s a quirky design statement with the ability to impress long into the new year,” says Jennifer Ebert, editor at *Homes & Gardens*.
She also points out that the growing demand for handcrafted and reusable decorations represents a new kind of luxury — one where charm lies in durability and authenticity.
Design expert Lena Gierasinska recommends investing in fairy lights or string lights that can be used year-round:
“Using them around the house brings a warm, soft glow to any space, creating a cozy atmosphere. Try lining shelves, wrapping them around plants, or filling glass jars for a festive and modern touch.”
Alternatively, *Homes & Gardens* suggests investing in a Christmas tree with built-in lighting, which looks beautiful right out of the box, with or without decorations.
To complete the atmosphere, Gierasinska recommends using scented candles with notes of vanilla or citrus, creating a sensory and welcoming environment that can be enjoyed in any season.
Regardless of the style, Michelle Pfeiffer’s minimalist Christmas tree is a reminder that true elegance lies in simplicity — and that luxury, as *Homes & Gardens* emphasizes, can be found in the subtlest of details.
