highly effective décor


Explanation:
Just a thought; depends a lot on exactly WHAT it is! 'Ambiance'might be another word to try and work in; although it is an incorrect use of the word, it seems fashionable to use it in this sort of way, to mean very little more than 'the decoration of the place'

Explanation:
This is marketing speak. So how about high class ambiance for the decor phrase and high class whatever's appropriate for the entroit phrase?
