style of a room’s decoration
The way a room or place looks because of its colors, furniture, and decorations.
Mẫu sử dụng:
[a place] has [adjective] decor
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners often say *“a decor”* when talking about style, but in this sense *decor* is usually uncountable: say *“The decor is modern”* or *“I like the decor”*, not *“I like a decor.”* They also sometimes confuse *decor* with *“decorate”* (the verb).
Từ đồng nghĩa
interior design (More professional and planned; often used for the job or process, not just the look.)
|
decoration (More general; can refer to single items or to decorating for events, not only the overall style of a space.)
Từ trái nghĩa
plainness (Suggests a space with little or no decorative style or visual interest.)

Lỗi thường gặp:

decorations (Very close in meaning, but often used for temporary items (like party or holiday decorations).)
