I've read that the First Class staterooms on A and D-decks were decorated in the same white panelling style, but were there any more subtle differences in how these cabins were styled?

Differences in A and D-deck cabins?

According to Titanic - the Ship Magnificent the decoration was the same but there was one obvious difference in the furniture. The A deck staterooms had brass beds whereas those on D deck had wooden-framed (oak or mahogany) cot beds, like most other 'basic' first class staterooms.
There were other differences in furniture depending on the occupancy number of the rooms. Most of those on A deck were intended for single occupancy whereas those on D deck were standard 2/3 berth rooms so that would create a further difference in the appearance of the rooms, although it is secondary to the occupancy rather than a deliberate difference in style by deck.

The standard first class staterooms forward on A, B, C and D-deck were all paneled in the same white painted mahogany paneling. The differences between A-deck and D-deck is that the standard staterooms on A-deck that were out-board (A-1, A-3 A-7, A-11, A-17 A-21, A-25 A-29, A-33 and A-35 on the starboard side and A-2, A-4, A-8, A-12, A-16, A-20, A-24, A-28, A-32 and A-34) had brass Cot beds (they were also much smaller), while the outboard staterooms on D-deck (D-7, D-11, D-17, D-21, D-25, D-29, D-33 and D-37 on the starboard side and D-8, D-12, D-16, D-20, D-24, D-28, D-32 and D-36) had mahogany Cot beds.
