Perhaps the common room was decorated by Snape in keeping with his
idea of the proper Slytherin image (or just in keeping with his
personal taste), while the actually dorm rooms are cushier.  

As for Malfoy manor, I suspect it's very cushy and expensive, but with
an unpleasantly somber color scheme.

Great; now I have mental image of Snape sweeping into the staff room
crying, "Oh, I just saw the most *marvelous* window treatment!"
