'''Decorations''' (also known as '''clutter items''' or '''deco''') are a category of items that can be used to decorate a [[residential lot|residential]] or [[community lot]], or a [[neighborhood]]/[[world]]. Depending on the [[content pack]]s a player owns, the category may include, but is not limited to, rugs, house plants, posters, paintings, sculptures and statues.

Most of these objects improve the [[environment]] in varying degrees; more expensive items usually have a higher rating. In addition, some decorative objects have useful functions. For example, the [[scarecrow]] in ''[[The Sims: Unleashed]]'' can deter [[Gardening#The Sims|garden]] pests, and the [[lightning rod]] in ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'' reduces the chance that objects (and Sims) on a lot will be struck by [[lightning]]. Most decorative objects, however, cannot be interacted with other than simply being viewed by Sims. For example, while Sims must water indoor plants in ''[[The Sims]]'', this requirement is not carried forward to later games, and thus indoor plants have no additional interactions. [[Mirror]]s also offer different interactions, especially in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and later games.

From ''The Sims 2'' onwards, decorations are available for placement in the neighborhood/world view. These typically range from birds, flora, buildings, statues, monuments, clouds, rainbows, and even trains and aircraft. Decorations are typically purely cosmetic and cannot be interacted with by Sims.
