In my original field of work (architecture) inconsequential is all the rage. Structure is only valued if it translates into an elegant metal beam. Clients don't care if the room fits everything they asked you to fit in it in a simple home-like way (and you spent days trying to solve the puzzle), they just look at the drawings and ooohh and aaaah at the colors, at how the 3D rendering looks good, at the view you put outside the window, and of course at the furniture you used as an example.
I do concede that most people are spacially illiterate and can't really analyse a plan or view unless it's 3D and looks kind of real. And even then most can't really analyse the space, and only try to imagine themselves in that picture. Usually client requests are very general for the house plan (oh, 3 bed 2 baths, american kitchen, no stairs) and very particular for all kinds of stuff (this particular ceiling lamp, this kind of window between bath and garden, need to fit this and that into a shelf in the living room).
It's fun, but often frustrating. They skim over the plan you spent so long working on and focus on how that curtain has to be more transparent. :)
