I think art deco is one of my favorites. It still has a clean, modern look that ages surprisingly well, even a century later.

Any style older than 60 years that is not brutalism.

Things used to have decor before, we've moved to a functionality only infrastructure, it's always done in the cheapest way possible and it's sort of depressing
