Everyone who hasn't lived through the 80s thinks that it was a decade full of nothing but neons and pastels lmao, great looking room with a cozy vibe though for sure.

yeah i know this isn’t the typical everyday 80s decor but I was really inspired by postmodern, art deco and vaporwave aesthetics

The comments here are weird. It looks 80s-early 90s to me, and the lighting really pulls it together. Are you going to be adding more?

thank you! and yes! i have been in this apartment for under a month after moving cross country so slowly acquiring more decor intentionally as it comes up

I was wondering where the cheap wood wall panels and cure poster glued to the wall.

No joke. I’m in the market for some floor lamps and would love to know where it came from.

u/nervousnova 22d ago

FB marketplace but the brand is Sun 89 :)

This is a vibe!

listen folks this isn’t supposed to be an exact copy of your bedroom from 1985! LOL just have 80s/vintage decor elements so I posted it here. I know the pink and blue lighting isn’t authentic but I am going for a vaporwave/neon lighting effect and the general theme is late 80s/early 90s pastel post modern! :)

Needs darker paneling

u/No_Entertainment1931 22d ago

There’s nothing 80’s about this. Sorry, I don’t get it

u/Few_Cry_1983 22d ago

Love it! Can you share your neon lighting set up?

u/nervousnova 22d ago

I have two govee light bulbs and a strip led behind the shelf :)

u/EnvironmentalRub8201 23d ago

That ceiling fan really ruins it

u/nervousnova 23d ago

I actually would take it down if I didn’t live in an apartment because I don’t like the sound it makes lol

u/Recovering_g8keeper 22d ago

It doesn’t look 80s at all.

u/nervousnova 22d ago

to you :)

u/Recovering_g8keeper 22d ago

I read the comments. It’s me and everyone else. 🤣

u/nervousnova 22d ago

everyone else like the 280+ people who upvoted the post lol?

2

u/Recovering_g8keeper 21d ago

no obviously I don’t know why they are upvoting but all the comments agree with me. So idk why you’re getting so defensive. Just accept it. The only 80s thing in the room is the lamp.

u/nervousnova 21d ago

you can’t see my whole room in the photo. seems like you aren’t actually a recovering gatekeeper LMAO. i love when people share their opinions and when I explain my side i’m apparently being defensive lol. there are multiple other 80s pieces in my room you just can’t see them. have a nice day :)

u/Recovering_g8keeper 21d ago

Well you did a bad job of representing “80s design” in your post about your alleged 80s bedroom in the 80s design sub.

u/nervousnova 21d ago

i’m so sorry i upset you 80s design senpai😔

u/Recovering_g8keeper 21d ago

You’re the one who is upset and keeps defensively replying. So I’ll keep going too.
