Holiday Decor

Holiday Decor
December 2016
For Melissa Lenox, dressing a home for the season doesn’t involve Technicolored tchotchkes, baubles, or blinking lights. Instead, the designer—whose portfolio reflects a youthful, modern bent—relies on clean-lined pieces in a limited color palette of green, gold, and white to infuse her downtown abode with cheer. “It’s a minimalistic approach to holiday décor,” she notes.
