The art of making a room say things about you before you do.

means The furnishings, colors, and finishing touches that give a room its look and feel.

from From French décor, 'scenery' or 'setting,' itself from décorer, 'to decorate,' tracing back to Latin decorare — 'to adorn or embellish' — rooted in decus, 'ornament, grace, honor.' The word started life backstage, naming theatrical sets and props, before it stepped out of the theater and into the living room, where it's been quietly staging your life ever since.
