An "aesthetic" can have a page (not a namespace), but only if it's already very well-defined (e.g. Art Deco).
Otherwise, I think you would just be looking for tropes that describe the setting and art direction. For example:
Most of the game takes place indoors, in the castle's interiors, which are bathed in various shades of purple, in contrast with the the rare outdoors locations that are dominated by more natural colors (green grass, white flowers, blue sky). The two main obstacles are the bottomless pits (colored black) and slimes (green). The castle is inspired from medieval castles, with stone walls covered with tapestries, lit with torches. Many wooden platforms are used for storing crates or as walkways.
The castle has furniture, bottles, crates, weapons and documents scattered here and there, as if someone was using them, despite being only populated by amnesiac ghosts and some areas being barricaded. This gives the place an eerie look, reinforced by some details (like the statues of cloaked humanoids with skull-like faces). The music, on the other hand, is always calm and soothing.

This is similar to the Worldbuilding/ suggestion, except the question isn't about grouping tropes but about trouble coming up with them. If two ideas were combined, it'd give some small merit to the other discussion if locations had detailed descriptions.
But I digress. Regarding the orignal question, yes, you just need to look harder.

Although some tropes can be used to describe the aesthetics of the work, I feel that the site kinda lacks an Aesthetics namespace to describe the aesthetics and atmosphere of a work.
For example, I wrote a text describing the atmosphere of Shirone: The Dragon Girl and I don't think I can easily turn it into a bullet list of tropes. Or maybe I'm not experienced enough with troping yet. What do you think about it? Here is the text in question: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Sandbox/Solarius
