How it's used
While 裝潢 refers specifically to the aesthetic design and finishing touches of an interior space, it is often used interchangeably with 裝修 in casual conversation. 裝修 usually encompasses the entire process of renovation including structural work and plumbing, whereas 裝潢 focuses more on the visual and decorative aspects like furniture placement, color schemes, and wall treatments.
Examples
The interior design of this house is very tasteful.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 裝修, but 裝潢 is slightly more formal and emphasizes the aesthetic result rather than the construction process itself.
