Yeah, I think I'd throw in a few more TNG-ish elements... the shapes and looks of the alcoves and display cutouts is giving me a much more Stargazer/Hathaway vibe, meaning an older, more TMP-ish ship... the Ambassador isn't that old... she should have a vibe of something newer than an Excelsior... IMO. That having been said, I love the overall floor plan and look. Keep the TNG wall fabric in the alcoves, and the TNG CONN & OPS stations, but maybe switch out that TMP-ish Tactical station with a TNG one... maybe like the one from the 1st season Battle Bridge? As always, just my two cents.
If we're going Ambassador era they were the film Okudagrams at least up until the Enterprise C was destroyed. The Ent-D style LCARS wouldn't show up on screen until 2354 (on the Raven on Voyager) but as of 2344 they were still using the Okudagrams of the films.
I guess it would depend on when you're setting this and if that Ambassador had gotten an upgrade.

The funny thing is, that if you recall, in TNG’s first season, they were still using the colors of the film-era LCARS with the TNG style... greens and blues... the only time we really saw anything orange or red, was on corridor panels and the alert indicators, so it’s possible that the Ambassador could even use TNG LCARS, using the first season colors, and it would still fit. It never made sense to me that that far beyond the time of the B, Starfleet was still using film-era uniforms and graphics. Picard’s nightmare flashbacks to the Stargazer battle showed his crew wearing first season TNG uniforms, and that was some years before the D.
I'd swap the Captain's chair for a more TNG-ish design, but other than that I love this!
Yeah, the chairs haven't been touched yet - just carried over from the TFF set (actually a Kusanagi set concept based on that) to have something there. They'd need to be updated to more or less match what was in Yesterday's Enterprise (the chairs at least weren't as bad as the overall set!).
Definitely put an E-D bridge runner in there I reckon, keep the shape of the E-B/TMP era viewscreen, but show it beginning to transition to TNG era, give it a small bridge runner like the E-Ds (or at least the blinkers are the size of the TNG ones, even if the runner itself is wider. and put two smaller TMP era LCARS panels on either side of it

This will probably be the bridge it launched with.

It feels like it belongs to the era of the Ent A/Excelsior/early Ent B. It mostly reminds me of the Ent A from The Final Frontier
There are some links to TNG with those forward consoles.
It is bright and optimistic, so before it became weary after conflict with Klingons and Romulans.
Red alert:
Of course, just haven't decided exactly what yet.
