From a description of the architecture of a museum:
La obra arquitectónica disimula a conciencia cualquier ATREVIMIENTO DE LÍNEAS para dar realce a las poderosas creaciones de Picasso, de tal modo que no hay nada que perturbe el diálogo entre el espectador y la obra expuesta
I am thinking something like "intrusion".

intrusiveness/flamboyance/flashiness in design
in this context, ie, the design of the museum's architecture is kept simple, with clean lines that don't impede or compete with the visitors' appreciation of the art itself.
'Intrusiveness of design' or 'intrusive lines' perhaps fit best with your thinking, but the other 2 alternatives could come in handy?
