Is the following sentence acceptable?

No, you can't use "was having" like that.

 

[Ashiuhto]

The interior of the train station, with superb, luxurious, and exquisite decorations, had a nostalgic design and inspiration.

With its superb works better for me, but the sentence is a bit flowery for my taste. ;-)

... the sentence is a bit flowery ...

.. or aureate, eupheuistic, grandiloquent, magniloquent, ...

The interior of the train station, with superb, luxurious, and exquisite decorations, had a nostalgic design and inspiration.

NOT A TEACHER

In my opinion things don't have an inspiration but rather either are an inspiration or simply inspire.

Therefore I would rewrite your sentence thus:

The interior of the train station, with its superb, luxurious and exquisite decorations, had a nostalgic design and was an inspiration.

or

The interior of the train station, with its superb, luxurious and exquisite decorations, had a nostalgic design and inspired.

It is people who can have an inspiration, meaning that a wonderful idea has dawned on them.

BTW is "inspiration" really a countable noun?

I was guessing that the designer was inspired by something.
