Carpe means "pluck" (singular imperative), or, thanks to the standard translation of Horace's phrase carpe diem, "seize". Domus means "house" or "home" (singular nominative or genitive). Together they don't mean much of anything because the grammar is wrong. If you mean to say "Seize the house", the word for "house" should be in the accusative: carpe domum.
