bedecks

Covers with ornaments

Bedecks is the third-person singular of bedeck, meaning to adorn or decorate lavishly: Tinsel bedecks every surface of the house.

The word carries a sense of abundance or excess—things aren't just decorated but covered in ornament.

It appears most often in descriptions of festive or ceremonial settings.
