Color confidence was seemingly at the very heart of 1980s interiors. Teamed with chintz, pattern on pattern, and reflective surfaces, this decade embraced maximalism in all its glory. And while the eccentricity of the '80s has largely been replaced with more understated design styles, few decades provide as much inspiration for immersive color palettes.
Today, interior designers are channeling '80s-inspired hues, but fear not, the look is liveable, grounding, and soft. From moody shades of teal that add depth to pastel tones that bring freshness, designers are proving that these once-dated color palettes bring warmth and personality to modern homes.
