Marble Mania

April 10, 2014 by Kate 4 Comments

In honor of “Lobby Chic” Week here at Mirror80, I thought I’d share a few snapshots from my ’80s-inspired bedroom. Lately I’ve been a bit obsessed with marble tile. I buy it at home improvement stores and flooring retailers. The last time I went on a tile binge at Floor Decor, I left with an armful of marble pieces and paid no more than $20. What do I do with these tiles? I stack them. I lean them against the wall. Sometimes I use them in my DIY projects. The possibilities are endless…

Create the Lobby Look at Home with ’80s-Style Art

April 9, 2014 by Kate Leave a Comment

We continue with “Lobby Chic” Week at Mirror80 by celebrating the current wave of marble- and geometry-themed artwork. Thanks to affordable sources like Society6, you can purchase amazing pieces from talented artists, including wall art, stylish pillows, shower curtains and more.

Yes, they make it possible for us to bring the lobby look home!

I would ride the glass elevator with my brother, and we would stop at various floors and walk laps around the open aisles while looking down at the plant-filled atrium. It doesn’t get any better than marble tile in peach and white…

Lobby Luxe Style

February 4, 2013 by Kate Leave a Comment

We at Mirror80 have made no secret of our love for lobby style. Call is Lobby Sleek, Lobby Chic, or Lobby Luxe, this look in some ways never left. Office buildings and hotels today still feature metallic planters and dramatic sculptures. Marble tile graces many a bank entry. And who doesn’t love a piece of geometric abstract art? We’re already planning our next foodie event, and this lobby grandeur is a style that we could get excited about. Now we just need some yuppie-fabulous recipes to complete the evening…

Mirror80 is a blog that celebrates the intersection of modern design and retro style. I'm Kate, and I enjoy exploring the look and feel of the "recent retro", with a focus on the late '70s through the early '90s. Welcome to Mirror80. Read More…
