The interiors of many colonial American houses use Georgian styles of architecture, including a lot of panelling on the walls. Walls are often filled with different types of ornamentation, leaving no space looking too plain.
Light walls seem to be popular in Georgian rooms, especially to keep them looking larger. I feel like the decoration almost goes against this, since it can look cluttered and make a space seem smaller but it works for showing off wealth.
Ensuring that there is a border around the walls/ceilings also seems to be important, and keeps every wall of the room tied together. Chandeliers and many sources of lighting imply wealth and help in heavily panelled rooms that may not have as many windows as light sources. The wooden flooring is also important to keep in mind, as it seems very important to this style of room.
Queen Anne style furniture is very ornate and popular in Georgian style rooms. I think that this will help to make the Mayor's office a bit more 'fancy' and wealthy, especially if it looks old-fashioned which contrasts well with the Bounty Hunter's more modern seeming office.
I need to keep in mind how much detail will be seen and needed, but it would definitely be nice to keep more detail within the Mayor's room than the Hunter's.
