Decorate w/ stuff that has no names.
So if someone enters and has "all object names" on..,
they:
For best results:
Use spontaneous creativity... if you cant find any, an ice cold six-pack usual does the job for me.

I see a lot of people craft items with the name "." (a period without the quotes). You can actually make items with a blank name if you use this trick:
Open notepad and enter three blank lines and then "xxxx" or whatever you want. Copy and paste that into the name of the item when crafting and the item will have no name!

Easier way to do this... just do two spaces. Will look like no name, and is good for self-decoration. Probably shouldn't do it for sales, though; you want it to show up !
For moving objects
I made macros that do the following
/move up 50
/move down 50
/rotate yaw 45
/rotate yaw -45
/move forward 1
/move forward 50
/move back 1
/move back 50
/rotate pitch 45
/rotate pitch -45
/rotate roll 45
/rotate roll -45
made these as individual macros then went into the options/keymap/custom and binded them all to my F keys on my crafter. makes decorating 10 times faster.
Ever wondered how some players are able to line up objects perfectly straight and with no clipping?
1. Drop the objects in the approximate location.
2. Sit in a chair and use the /move commands on each object. This will move them in the same direction and an equal amount.
3. Rotate the chair to move objects in other directions.
Thats prob the most useful decorating tip I've been shown.
I've created 18 macros that helps me with decorating. Three each for forward, back, left, right, up & down. With the values 1, 10 and 100. I then binded these macros to the numeric pad on my keyboard, together with Ctrl & Shift.
To move an item with the value of 1, I hold down Shift+(number of choice). The value of 10 is binded to the Ctrl key, and 100 is binded to Ctrl+Shift.
When I want to craft items with no name (just a blank space), I just hold down Alt while I press 0160 on the numeric pad. The same way you create upside down question marks Alt+0191 = ¿
Something I need to adress is not to trust the /savedecorationlayout stuff too much.
Before
After
But other than that, these new commands were a huge help when moving 1000+ items from one house to another.
To truly master the ability to Decorate your structure get the ForceShui collection done.

Double his suggestion and a person can come up with some real masterpieces!

worked like a charm moving my old small tatooine house into new windowed tatooine house with the layout commands.
I woulnt recommend it on different floor layouts

Have been trying to find this info for a while now, ty!!
What also works for blanking names is using the crtl+backspace in the name box, which inputs a square. Its invisible outside of your inventory.
Also, things with under 3 or 4 spaces tend to revert to default names after a while due to some odd bug
