There has to be a better approach than to just settle on one of the two extremes: what architecture styles have a mix of moderate ornamentation, but with straightforward and utility-driven design?

Old brick industrial buildings, the sort that get turned into exposed-beam loft style workplaces or condos. The front exteriors often have a bit of ornamental stonework. Nothing baroque, but just enough to make the exterior interesting and attractive.

When designed the architects probably weren't paid to mess about putting in useless impractical things, because these were workplaces.

For example, the buildings on Chicago's Printers Row (From 525 S. Dearborn south)
