You could try nesting the description in a quote (See the chapter on nesting
in >Help> User_Guide)

Problems:
 
 LyX doesnot like empty environments, therefore, in order to have a quote
 that is empty in itself but contains other stuff, you need to put something
 in there that is "nothing" for LaTeX but "something" for LyX.
 I use {} or % in ERT (latex-mode). A hard-space (Ctrl-space) is not so
 good, as it is something in TeX too!
 
 
 You will get some extra space above and below the indented Descriptions.
 
 
Just try,
