1980s music and '80s-style skinny
jeans have popped back into
fashion of late. '80s-style home
decor trends have most definitely
not. So if you've recently purchased a
home that retains an '80s interior, or if your old house needs a style makeover before going on the market, check out these
tips from MSN Real Estate on how to de-'80s your home.
The fastest and most
budget-friendly way to de-'80s a space, say MSN's style gurus, is to completely rid yourself of the dreaded "Miami Vice"
color palette. The hues now considered
waaay outdated are hunter green, salmon pink, gray, and teal. Next, upgrade your
light fixtures, particularly anything with a shiny gold (fake brass) finish or anything involving etched
glass.
Next, replace outdated
bathroom medicine
cabinets and
faucets. If you don't have the time or budget to replace the entire medicine cabinet, at least pull the old one out and hang an attractive
mirror over that spot. Next, upgrade the faucets at your
kitchen sink. There. The whole house looks better already, doesn't it?
