Decor - Games

In game design, decor refers to the environmental details that establish setting, mood, and narrative without direct gameplay function. It encompasses background objects, architectural flourishes, lighting, and ambient props that build immersion and world authenticity. Decor can subtly guide player attention, imply off-screen spaces, or convey a location's history through visual storytelling. Its symbolic use—like a recurring motif or decayed objects suggesting abandonment—adds thematic depth. Effective decor balances aesthetic cohesion with functional clarity, ensuring environments feel lived-in yet readable, enriching the player's experience through subtle, consistent environmental design.
