Items of decor, nice set, and ample for redecoration (12)
I believe the answer is:
mantelpieces
'items of decor' is the definition.
'nice set and ample for redecoration' is the wordplay.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'for redecoration' is an anagram indicator.
'nice'+'set'='niceset'
'niceset' put after 'ample' is 'ampleniceset'.
'ampleniceset' with letters rearranged gives 'MANTELPIECES'.
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
