I feel it can be a bad idea to spend a lot of your money to decorate things like a house or a car with other very expensive items like a gold statue, expensive artwork, and expensive crystals. Some expensive smartphone/iPhone cases and game consoles which are made of gold, leather, etc is not always worth the high price when you may end up using the phone case for only a few years.

There is always a chance you may need more money in the future if you suddenly lost your job, need to buy expensive medicine or pay hospital bills which can cost thousands of dollars, and you need to buy a new expensive item like a laptop or car because it broke, got stolen or lost.

Expensive items like houses and cars can be very expensive to repair and maintain, so it is good idea to save money to pay for future repairs and maintenance when you are retired or unemployed, so you have enough money to repair and maintain something, and still have money for food, taxes, and utility bills.
 
Depends on your tastes, but I always recommend getting what you enjoy without going over board.
 
'Purpose' over 'art'. I only buy a decoration if It also serve a purpose. For example a sticker on bicycle, a reflective sticker is good so other vehicle can see me on the road.

I agree without going over board is a good idea. It can be possible to spend a lot of money on antiques to decorate your house like rare game consoles and computers/electronics like an unopened iPhone or Commodore 64 PC which can cost thousands of dollars like $23000 for a Commodore 64 according to This old computer fetched nearly $23,000 on eBay | Cult of Mac .

I used to make my own decorations like reflective stickers from things like packaging material which is reflective, or cut out shapes like stars to decorate a plain box which is used to hold things like books. I end up saving a few dollars, and can make the decoration like a reflective sticker fit my item.
