The 1980s are making a stylish comeback in the world of interior design, offering a refreshing departure from the minimalistic and neutral trends that have dominated our spaces in recent years. This resurgence of the '80s aesthetic, characterised by its optimism, dynamism, and daring nature, is brought to life through houseof's latest nostalgic lighting collection. Say hello to Jam Red.

A retro revival: The Essence of the 1980s

The '80s aesthetic is all about embracing bold and vibrant elements that infuse spaces with energy and personality. Soft lighting, oversized curves, and polished finishes are at the heart of this design trend. The Nostalgia collection captures this essence perfectly with its playful array of retro chandeliers, ambient floor lighting, and cordless table lamps. Each piece in the collection is designed to evoke feelings of joy, nostalgia, and comfort, transforming any space into a lived-in, vibrant environment.

A retro return: Say hello to Jam Red

One of the standout features of the Nostalgia collection is the debut of houseof’s newest colour, Jam Red. This juicy, lacquered red finish is a departure from houseof’s signature matte look, bringing a splash of primary colour reminiscent of the Memphis design movement. The high-gloss finish of Jam adds a touch of sophistication and a nod to the playful and bold colour schemes of the '80s.

This year, the unexpected red theory has taken social media by storm, captivating interior design enthusiasts and trendsetters alike. Characterised by the bold use of red in unconventional ways, this trend emphasises the power of colour to transform spaces. Platforms like Instagram and Pinterest have been flooded with striking images of red accents, from furniture and decor to lighting and artwork. Influencers and designers have embraced this vibrant hue to create focal points and infuse energy into interiors. The unexpected red theory not only pays homage to vintage aesthetics but also aligns with modern desires for daring and dynamic home environments. houseof’s use of Jam Red perfectly captures this trend, demonstrating how a bold colour choice can redefine a space and spark creativity.
