Byzantine or gtfo.

Of these, I'm partial to Romanesque's unaffected charm.

Gothic or Moorish or it's bullshit

Romanesque's unaffected charm included windows so tiny that daylight had to turn sideways to fit through.

For personal dwellings, I like Arts and Crafts movement. The best of the bungalow-style homes are full of human-scale details and beautiful materials.
