Modern media always ruins the 80s with that fake, clean, neon-purple 2020s aesthetic. The real 80s were a wild mix of cozy brown/beige wood paneling and insane, experimental pastel/neon color geometry.Dumping 1980s interiors, architecture, and objects.
>>18711408
>>18711408>Cozy brownNo that's the late seventies just holding over for a few years into the 80s.A lot of people didn't have the money to immediately upgrade into in the 1980s right away. Same with cars, in the 80s there were still a bunch of cars and trucks from the 70s driving around.
>>18711419Anyone who lived through the 80s remembers it was full of brown, wood paneling, and floral patterns. I don't get the obsession with trying to cleanly box everything into decades; the lived reality was exactly that mix, not the modern neon filter.

>>18711424the wood panelling is eliteI can't do carpet though. Unfortunately. Just too gross.
>>18712265and it's so damn hard to find real pics of those places.
>>18712281Magazines should be your best bet. Something like https://archive.org/details/architektur-wohnen-1988-heft-4https://archive.org/details/home-magazine-february-1990/
>>18712289unfortunately i've seen some places like that in my country which have been 'renovated' and all the wood panelling was removed, and all the the insides of the home painted white. disgusting. this is because of some millennial women who think painting everything white makes it instagram-ready (I'm a millennial myself)

>>18712348kekWhat is millenial grey?
>>18712350not that anon but i personally think millennial gray is teh coutcome of a multitude of things, not just the outcome from one thing. but basically it is just gray washing everything, making it all bland, taking away colour. some say that this is because when you do this to a house you make it easier to sell. probably somewhat correct.
>>18712361oh ok Some photos might be uglyIt was the 80s hahahabut they are real moments anywayI feel like now that we are surrounded by ai generated images, real photos, even if they're ugly, are worth more1983_High_Tech_Industrial_Wet_Room_Shower

>>18711424This is definitely cool, but the other OP is right how the 70s carried over into the 80s and even parts of the 90s.That 70s wood panel basement or den went into the 80s decorated with metal band posters and then in the 90s with grunge and an old PC with DOOM loaded on.

I literally called it a "wild mix" in the title. The fact that it originated in the 70s doesn't mean it wasn't part of the actual 80s experience. We are saying the same thing.

>>18712977The point is that it’s not inherently 80s. The 1980s has a distinct look.
>>18712993Where did I say wood paneling was inherently 80s?You and the other guy are arguing with yourselves.And yes, the 80s had a distinct look, that's literally why I said in the OP that it was a "wild mix of cozy brown/beige wood paneling and insane, experimental pastel/neon color geometry" instead of the fake, clean neon media pushes.My OP literally says it was a MIX. Then the other guy comes in to say wood paneling is from the 70s which changes nothing, because it was still everywhere in the 80s and part of the actual 80s experience.Then you come in saying "he's right" when nobody is even saying he's wrong. I don't get it.

All jokes and memes aside, why did distinct decades "end"? 2010 and 2020 are completely blended, and 2030 will likely be exactly the same even though we're talking about thirty fucking years. Even my current phone is basically identical to the one I had in 2016, and the phone I had in 2016 wasn't from 2016.

>>18714990most were blended and its selectively portrayed to make you think that as soon as the year hits zero everyone cycles to the next thing. the 2010s had corps pushing minimalism to make cheaping out feel new, modern and expensive after the maximalism of the 90s-00s

>>18711424>Anyone who lived through the 80s remembers it was full of brown, wood panelingIt depends, I was smol kid back then and my parents had modern apartment and it looked just like those 80s pics, lots of glass, plants and nice furniture but they where trendy party going type.ofc when they got older they started hoarding stuff and not cleaning because it's impossible to clean piles of stuff so it all turned into usual boomer den.

>>18713052>>18713058>>18713741>>18724901Fuck, I really like these ones. There's some definite holdover from the '70s there though, makes sense given that they're '80-'82, and I've always loved that kind of '70s sci-fi design.
>>18732015The thing is, even though they were 70s, they weren’t the brown and orange 70s, making the style way ahead of its time.

Bring back cocaine chic. On that thought, im going to buy a mirror coffee table
>>18732600if cocaine was a bedroom
>>18732607>>18733021These ones are my favorite. I grew up around spaces decorated like these in the 1990s such as Peppermill-owned businesses and resorts. The interesting thing about these in particular is that they were actually rather casual but have been utilized for class. It’s like the mindset of putting a nice tablecloth over a picnic table.>>18733014This one is exceptionally interesting. It’s dated as only 1982 but has a style that didn’t become popular until much later, such as the cool-toned vaporwave-like motifs we all know well. The early 1980s still had the warm tones of the 1970s.>>18733020This is another example, though to be fair, it’s 1983 where the true 1980s started to awaken. If you took out the desk, you can see the underlying 1960s “British Invasion” themes.
