What does DECOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
The furnishing, coloring, and general style used to decorate a room, building, or stage set.
Decor covers everything visible in a space that shapes its look and mood, from paint colors and furniture to lighting and small ornaments, and it applies equally to a private home, a restaurant, or a theater stage. Interior designers plan decor around a chosen theme, such as rustic, minimalist, or vintage, so that every piece works together rather than clashing. The word can also describe temporary decoration set up for a specific event, such as a wedding or party.
