Well the commands we use to move stuff are
/move up (1-200)
/move down (1-200)
/rotate left (1-180)
/rotate right (1-180)
/move forward (1-500)
/move back (1-500)
/pickup
{note: you may or may not have to include the word furniture, I myself do in my macros, but do not when typing command)
So select the ones you use most and set common values
My basic selection of moving keys has
up/down 1, 10, 50, 100
left/right 1, 5, 10, 45, 90,180
forward/back 1, 5, 10, 50,100, 200

You wont want to use a macro for this. Unless you want every piece you use for decoration going to the same spot 
Some pieces you might want to be moved up 5 spaces, some 25, others 50. That plant doesnt look good facing this direction you want to rotate it 20degrees or 50, maybe even 180 degrees.
A macro wont help with this, you will be sending more time changing the macro than decorating.
Once you type your first command, just use ctrl+up key and edit it.

I have one set of 2toolbars (24 buttons)exclusively for moving commands. The first upper four buttons (F1 - F4)are for /move forward 1, 10, 20 and 50 (I think it's 50). The first four lower buttons (SHFT+F1 - SHFT+F4)are for /move back. Then come /move up and /move down, and the last 4 buttons are for /rotate left and /rotate right. This way you have 24 commands which cover just about anything.
Oh and one small tip I picked up on these boards, use a chair when decorating. Put it down, sit in it, and you can get every item lined up perfectly (because you won't move). You have to use a low chair though, otherwise the camera gets too close, an ottoman for example.

I also have 24 little macros.
/move up 1, 5, 10, 50
/move down 1, 5, 10, 50
/move forward 1, 5, 10, 50
/move back 1, 5, 10, 50
/rotate right 1, 5, 10, 45
/rotate left 1, 5, 10, 45
nothing else youll ever need.. except some comic relief
Drop a Durni
sit in a chair facing the same direction as the Durni
target the Durni and hit the following macro:
(name hop)
/moveup 20;
/move forward 20;
/pause 1;
/move down 20;
/move forward 20;
/pause 1;
/macro hop

Funny! Maybe you could also add some rotation, so it hops in circles Too bad you can't make it roar...
Hmm, just figured out it movesrelated to your direction... making it jump in circles would require a large macro then...
