Regularly drench our home furnishings (5)

I believe the answer is:

decor

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'home furnishings' is the definition.
'decor' can be an answer for 'furnishings' (decoration of a room). I'm not sure about the 'home' bit.

'regularly drench our' is the wordplay.
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'drench'+'our'='drenchour'
The alternating letters of 'drenchour' are 'DECOR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for decor that I've seen before include "Internal ornamentation" , "(Room) design" , "Embellishment of a room" , "Room colour scheme, furnishings, etc" , "Credo (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
