Mike, do you know what I was thinking when I read this?
Art Gallery.
Here are some pics I've grabbed off google images.
Do you notice anything common to all the interior designs? They've all used wood and contrasted it with just plain white. There's a visual warmth a lack of clutter and its clean looking without being sterile.
Maybe you could use the same combination of colours and texture? Remove all the keylines/borders from the forum and just use shapes to describe the areas.
The only fly in the ointment depends on how often you plan on updating the forum software? You'll have to create a new skin with each update unless you are sure you'll be able to import it from the old forum.
