neutral  Brett Thomas: it doesn't mention 'lively'. Could be the opposite in fact

design (in this context)


Explanation:
decoration and design
Although I do agree with nearly all the ideas thus far, sometimes the "right translation" just doesn't "fit", so I am working from "ambiente": to create "un ambiente" = design
(just an idea!)

:)

"Amores perros (2000) - Awards Best Set Design (Mejor Ambientación)"

"decoration and design" is also a commonly used pari in the interior design world...

Hope this helps!

  -> Hi Liz! Yes, I actually agree with you completely, and in fact prefaced my answer saying just that. I suggested this variant only because it is so often used to describe ID services, thus not a "true" translation but more of a "parallel" term. :)
