I am talking about variants such as Chess960 and Nuclear Chess which is similar to how I used to play chess when I was a lot younger

The best looking would definitely have to go to 3D Chess from Star Trek. One of these boards would look great in my study:

I think this Star Trek set is actually an ordinary board with some squares being elevated for the futuristic look. It works very well in terms of making an ordinary chess board look advanced and even more complex even back in the 1960's when this television series was made! I wouldn't mind getting my hands on this kind of board myself!
