Decoration
Decorations (also know as clutter items, Deco for short) are a category of items that a player can use in buy mode to decorate a residential lot or community lot. Depending on the content packs 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 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.
Mirrors also offer different interactions, especially in The Sims 2 and later games.

Non-interactive deco
The Sims 2
In TS2, decorations are categorize into six groups: indoor plants, statues, paintings, mirrows, curtains and rugs. Indoor plants come in many forms of placement (floor stands, as clutter on table surfaces, wall or ceiling-hung) and, in later games as well, can't no longer be water as they don't wither or die from dehydration. Statues range from small decoration to clutter things like coffee tales or counters to oversize statues that reqire a lot of available space. The Selection of paintings catalog consist of wall-hung item (such as variety of masks), posters and portrays.
Although not labeled, baloons can be classified as decorative objects.
