How many positive terms have antonyms that aren't considered disparaging? The opposite of clean in design is usually "cluttered".

An objective antonym to "cluttered" in design is "minimal".

Personally I would use "streamlined", as "minimal" conveys to me the idea of "spartan" in the sense of (rigidly) frugal or austere.

"streamlined" is much better. Great suggestion.
