I wouldn't want them all to be completely out-there architecturally. I think they would look nicer if they had a bit more ornamentation and colour. Subtle examples of this abound like in the Hal Forbes type North End redos. You don't see much painted colourful wood anymore. It is almost all muted tones.
It is a bit higher end but Queen's Marque has a version of that too with some metalwork and glasswork around ground level.
