Adorning
Hi. I would like to know about the word adorning. Is it used commonly or old-fashioned? Is it used in both BrE and AmE?
A floral poster was adorning a wall.
Is it fine in this sentence? Is there a more common word I could use?

anonymous I would like to know about the word " adorning " . It's rather literary. You don't hear it in ordinary everyday conversations.
