I believe Mosques do get "decorated," but I'm not sure what you mean by that. Inside the Mosque, you won't find pictures of saints and prophets like you would in a Christian church, for example, because Muslims to not believe in creating or displaying images of religious figures. Instead, Mosques are decorated with intricate, often woven, patterns, and scripture from the Quran. The scripture is displayed beautifully in calligraphy that might only contains words and phrases from the Quran. I also believe that it is a meditation technique in Islam to create these woven patterns, usually metal, by hand, or spend time copying out sections of the Quran in calligraphy.
