Reflecting on recent retro style
Well, it’s been a minute!
This year we’re keeping our “Thanksgiving table” simple with a fall picnic and fresh food.
A post on learning to run the race, even if you’re still figuring it all out…
Today’s post is about pasta. And unpredictability.

While it’s easy to get in a matchy-matchy rut when we decorate at home, it’s perfectly acceptable to mix and match. In fact, some would argue that it’s even more interesting to mix styles. Today we take a look at a few clean-lined modern and retro design styles that work well together!
We spend a lot of time checking out awesome ’80s interiors here at Mirror80, but today we’re bringing the retro design story closer to home. Maybe you love 1980s style but you’re not wanting it to completely take over your interior. Or maybe you want to collect as many ’80s pieces as possible but you’re on a budget for now. Read on for a few easy, affordable, modern ways to bring ’80s design home…
Today at Mirror80, it’s all about the swank. These ’80s interiors beg to be noticed! Whether they pile on the floor cushions or layer on the mirrors, these are the rooms you want to lounge in once darkness falls. There may not be smoke, but in a couple of these spaces, there may as well be a smoke machine, because there’s a definite club vibe going on. And don’t get me started on the mood lighting…
Today I’m excited to welcome guest blogger Kim Barnes to Mirror80. Here on the blog, we spend a lot of time focusing on ’80s Deco, Neon Noir and other styles from the Decade of Decadence, but today Kim takes a refreshing perspective by shining the spotlight on ’70s/’80s industrial design and how we can get the look at home!
Hi there! Today I thought I’d share some of my shopping endeavors with you. With the new year comes new opportunities to solve interior design dilemmas. For me at home, the issues were low lighting throughout the house (not fun in the winter months), a shredded cotton dhurrie rug that made the living room look a bit run down, the need to add decor to bathroom countertops without cluttering them, and an empty space that was begging for a small desk. Below I’ll share what my hubby and I purchased from IKEA. Note: most of these items are super budget-friendly!
The spring collections are in, and today I’m rounding up my favorite new finds with retro flair. It’s not unusual for elements from the past to be making their way into our current decor, but it’s fun when you can turn to mainstream retailers and grab affordable items that reinforce the retro vibe you’re going for at home. Read on for details…

Happy Holidays! Today I’m sharing one more gift guide, this time featuring the interesting and sculptural finds of Z Gallerie. This brand has a glamorous, BIG aesthetic, and it can be hard to see past the sparkle. But when I take the time to shop for unique gifts and really look over all of the merchandise, I’m always delighted to find unusual items that can veer into retro territory.
Checkered floors are a classic design feature, and they have the power to look retro in the soda shop sense of the word. But I love the way they can veer into whimsical territory, which is why they pair so nicely with bright hues, geometric shapes, cloud motifs and Memphis-Milano decor. In today’s post you’ll find photographs of 1980s interiors featuring checkered floors…
