ornamented
Made more elaborate
Ornamented means decorated or embellished with ornamental details.
An ornamented frame has carved flourishes; an ornamented manuscript features illuminated borders.
The word suggests deliberate addition of decorative elements rather than inherent beauty: The hall was ornamented with gold leaf and frescoes.
Something heavily ornamented may verge on excessive.
