'interior decoration' is the definition.
'tapestry' can be an answer for 'decoration' (tapestry is a kind of decoration). I'm unsure of the 'interior' bit.

'records an attempt' is the wordplay.
'records' becomes 'tapes' (taping is a kind of recording).
'an attempt' becomes 'try' (synonyms).
'tapes'+'try'='TAPESTRY'

'to produce' is the link.
