Co-ordinate works, painting etc (10)

I believe the answer is:

decoration

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'painting etc' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'co-ordinate works' is the wordplay.
'works' is an anagram indicator (letters worked into a new form).
'co'+'ordinate'='coordinate'
'coordinate' is an anagram of 'DECORATION'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for decoration that I've seen before include "Ornaments - medal" , "Bunting (in honour of a brave man?)" , "Adornment - medal" , "Star" , "Flags put out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
