This week Mirror80 celebrates 1980s interior design in all of its glossy, bold glory. We’ll take a look at key ’80s design styles and movements, provide suggestions on ways to incorporate ’80s decor into your home on both a large and small scale, and point you to the best 1980s interior design resources currently available. Whet your appetite with today’s Pic Fix, a collection of spectacular images from the book Decoration and Design for the 80’s by Pamela Ferguson, available at Amazon.com.
