To add decorations in Monster Hunter Wilds you need to speak to Gemma at The Smithy and select the 'Change Equipment' option in the equipment menu. Don't select the 'View/Sell Decorations' option, this won't let you apply them to your Hunter.

This will bring you out to a detailed menu screen where each individual piece of your currently equipped armor and weaponry will be listed on the left side of the screen.
Highlight the armor or weapon you want to add a decoration to, then look at the bottom of your screen and you should see a prompt command next to 'Edit Decorations'. Follow this command prompt.

Then, all you need to do is select a slot to put the decoration in and this will be displayed on the left side of your screen too.

Once you've picked a slot, use your action button to 'confirm' this is the slot you want to use. This will then bring up a list of the decorations you currently own and can be used on this piece.

Now all you have to do is select the decoration you want to apply to that piece of equipment and confirm your selection, it will then be permanently added to that piece until you want to remove it.
