I agree that the lighting was the primary difference, but I always though the darker color palette made a slight difference, too.

Yes, I love the U. S. S. Constitution in Boston Harbor. Oldest active duty naval ship in existence. What burns me is the treatment of the H. M. S. Victory... very sad.I prefer tall ships over all the recent flattened ships. But for the Enterprise, at least the F made up for the E's lack of a neck by having two!
^This. They gave Worf and everyone else a seat for a year, and then they make the tactical officer stand up all over again.
Also, all those freestanding consoles are really pointy and at just the wrong heights. Some officers gotta be careful as they move about the bridge if they want to reproduce later.
My biggest complaint of that bridge though is the insane amount of unused space at the front of the bridge. It's REALLY there so they can cram in a ton of cameras and such without compromising the set as much as others in Trek history, but in practice people can play soccer in the front third of the bridge and not bother anyone.

The Enterprise-E bridge is my second-least favorite of all the canon Enterprise bridges, behind only the Kelvin Timeline one. I really like the Sovereign-class starship design from the outside and even the corridors and engineering, but the bridge....ehhhhh.
No bridge is blander and worse than the Voyager-A in Prodigy. I'm not sure what they were thinking.
The Star Trek V Enterprise bridge is my favourite, it looks so comfy.
I also love the Kelvinverse bridge, as in it looks cool on TV but to work in, you'd get a headache.

Makes sense - you don't want your security chief to have back ache from a sedentary lifestyle. They need to be alert and ready for action!
Offices increasingly have sit-stand desks, mine does.
Patrick Stewart knackered his back on that first season chair, and the conn/ops seats had those ridiculous slumped postures too.
Starfleet's occupational health unit clearly intervened during the hiatus.
All the interiors on Voyager A seem to have a minimalist and utilitarian look to them which kind of makes them feel unfinished. I think the intent was to show Starfleet of that era was rushing ships into service as quickly as possible. This is supposed to be concurrent with the Romulan evacuation, after all.
I think that has more to do with the style of CGI animation they used.
The TFF Enterprise-A bridge is fantastic and the best incarnation of that bridge, considering it's in the worst movie to feature the 1701-A.
It is one of my top three bridge designs in Trek - along with the TOS and SNW bridges.
There's a YouTube channel called We Travel By Night that has posted videos of 3D renderings of every Enterprise bridge from TOS through to STVI.
He posted an image of one of the early concepts for the D bridge with the two levels and the couches, but took it down, saying he wasn't satisfied with the final rendering, saying in part that the video looked like the walk through lobby of a hotel.

I wonder of the Roddenberry Archive will do the D-Concept bridge at some point.
They did do that crazy Planet of the Titans concept bridge.
