Today we celebrate the sweater wardrobe of Jennifer Keaton, the youngest daughter of the beloved Keaton family in the hit TV series Family Ties. Jennifer was smart, sweet and sarcastic, and her attire rivaled that of Bill Cosby’s Cliff Huxtable. Yes, The Cosby Show preceded Family Ties during NBC’s famous Thursday night lineup in the 1980s.

1980s Interior Design Styles
The world of 1980s interior design is a richly complex one.

Not to mention, many people still cringed when hearing the phrase “’80s furniture.” Oh how times have changed, thanks to phenomena like the Memphis-Milano revival and the ’80s Tumblr! Time to update this post with new images that prove 1980s style is reaching a whole new generation of design enthusiasts. Here’s our breakdown of 1980s interior design styles:
