“Though, perhaps happier in your own bedchamber.”

What it sounds like
The new decoration might look better in your bedroom.
What it really means
“Your taste is so questionable that this addition belongs in your private room, not the shared house.”
Said today
“Nice addition—though it would probably look better in your bedroom.”
What was happening
Jack admires a new decoration and asks whether it livens up the room. Portia has already privately mocked his style choices, so her polite suggestion makes the compliment sting.
