The 80s called - and we answered. With a little less hairspray but a whole lot of flair, this unapologetically bold decade is back in a big way. Think colour-blocked statements, high-gloss finishes, and geometric glamour. The 80s interiors trend is less retro rewind, more curated cool - and we’re here for every minute of it.
So, why the 80s, and why now?
It’s all about maximalism with meaning. After years of minimalist Scandi schemes and neutral palettes, interiors are craving character again. Cue: Memphis shapes, metallics, and plush fabrics. If you’re looking to channel some vintage drama with modern styling, we have just the thing.
So, What Makes 80s Interiors So Fabulous?
The 80s weren’t about playing it safe - and neither is your home. This was a decade of more is more, where form followed fun and every corner deserved a moment in the spotlight.
-
Think bold hues: electric blues, pinks, and pastels that practically demand a disco ball.
-
Hello, high gloss: lacquered finishes, chrome frames, and mirrored surfaces made spaces look instantly luxe.
-
Geometric shapes + curves: forget boxy and boring - this was the era of waves, arcs, and Memphis-style motifs.
-
Velvet, mohair and glass: texture was everything. The 80s were tactile, touchable, and often very shiny.
