Well it was probably filmed during, or shortly after the production of Picard, using Picard assets, just like the DSC Short Treks did.
I don't understand the production design...

So, for you the proper 24th century aesthetic looks like the inside of a Princess Cruise line ship; or Hilton hotel lobby?
You mean the ship whose interior is the most memorable and beloved in the public consciousness of any in Stat Trek history, including that of TOS? The ship that inspired The Orville and Picard and all Trek since, and is the one any of us would want to live in for twenty-year missions? The ship with an interior likely closer to what real world long-term “startships” of comparable technological sophistication would look like? Yes.So, for you the proper 24th century aesthetic looks like the inside of a Princess Cruise line ship; or Hilton hotel lobby?
A 24th+ century show should look like a progression of what came before — cause and effect. It should follow an arc of history that leads it toward what the previous generation was working toward. This show’s look in-universe isn’t merely an esthetic swing from the previous decade’s concepts of chic, but an alternate universe half-divorced from that which inspired it.
Picard in Kyle Riker's civilian onesie or we riot!
No, I do not. Thank you so much.
That's how people dressed in the early '60s. It's the late '90s now. Styles change.
Ummm - I think you overate the "love" for the mess that was the 1701-D. (I couldn't stand its art deco late 1980ies look from the first shot in "Encpounter At Farpoint" and its interior set design looks like they hired the set designer FROM "The Love Boat" TV series. Who the hell puts CARPETING in an Engine room?
IIRC, screens similar to what we are seeing in “Children of Mars” were used on the Enterprise-E in Star Trek: Countdown.
You have anything to back that up? I like the interiors, but this seems like a reach.

Speak for yourself. I wanna ride around in Ben Sisko's MF Pimp Hand.
Even DS9, VOY, and the TNG Movies moved away from the TNG series look. Nemesis was the last we saw of the 24th Century until now, chronologically. So that should be the jumping off point, if anything. Not TNG from 1987-1994.
I'd say there's less of a difference between Nemesis and Picard than there was between "Encounter at Farpoint" and Nemesis. And it's not the first time this has happened either. Look at the differences going from TOS to TMP to TUC. If enough time passes, productions will look different no matter what.

Space carpeting. Made from Space stuff.
I suspect the majority of people against the Ent D were likely grumpy old chaps or edgy teens by 87, and a lot of the others probably like Warhammer.
I also bet there’s a Benn diagram of ‘starfleet isn’t a military’ with ‘quite like carpets in space’.
After all, this was a town in space.
Nope.
No, was barely 4.
Not even close.
So, what my reason then?

Well, every made up rule has it’s exceptions. Though goodness knows what you have against comfy chairs.
I don't want to talk about it...
The interior of Enterprise-D looked something you (or me) would actually want to live in.
The quarters looked comfortable and not too dark, it was bright. Colorful, not just grey.

For you, yes. For me, not they do not look comfortable. They look sterile.
Even so, that might fit the Enterprise, even in 2399, but I don't think it would fit the Sirena or her ragtag crew, who aren't in Starfleet.
I do hope folks remember that the carpeting used for TNG was specifically so that the floor of the set didn't interfere with the sound recording of the actors voices when they were walking around the ramps and such.
Most sets used on a sound stage are mainly made of wood, which tends to start getting squeaky after prolonged use.
Carpeting is the industry standard for decreasing and/or eliminating that problem.
(it also eliminates the problem of actors slipping down uncarpeted ramps)

If anything I find things look far more realistic in Picard as opposed to TNG's very obviously done on a production stage look.
