点缀 (diǎn zhuì) — to decorate, to adorn (with small, tasteful additions); to be studded or dotted with (small elements, often in a descriptive state)
Definition
点缀 means to scatter small, tasteful touches that enhance — not full decoration. Lighter and more subtle than 装饰, and unlike 装扮 it does not focus on dressing up people.
