The Minimalist’s Guide To Holiday Decorating

We grew up loving the holidays, and we never really stopped. But, this year, we're taking a simpler approach. Getting into the spirit shouldn't have to mean going overboard. Just ask Caitlin Mociun. The jewelry designer is a master of minimalism, and she knows how to weave seasonal style into her subtle year-round decor. We were lucky enough to see it for ourselves and pick up a few tips when she invited us over to get her home December-ready.

With holiday touches from Pier 1 Imports, she ensured her place was perfectly festive but not at all overdone. Ahead, a case study that proves the old less-is-more adage is actually true, even during the glitziest time of year.
