1989 house for sale - 9833 NW 9th Court, Plantation, Fla.
Love the glass block, the matching high-gloss black vertical blinds and ceiling fan, and the 80s art deco ceiling light hanging above the front door (reminds me of the one in Christin'e apartment in the Miami Vice episode “By Hooker By Crook”).

1988 condo for sale - 5893 Sunswept Lane #B, Boynton Beach, Fla.
So much 80s pomo perfection in this house…
You don’t see a lot of bedspreads and pillow-shams from 1988. Very cool!
Also, note the black/off-white/salmon color trio echoed on both the bedspread in the bedroom and the couch pillows in the living room. This was a popular motif from about 1986/1987 to the end of the decade.

1988 house for sale - 5470 San Marino Way, Lake Worth, Fla.
The postmodern mirrored Formica credenza/hutch/sideboard is the obvious 80s centerpiece here.
But here are some more “definitely 80s” elements in this photo: vaulted ceiling with popcorn texture, white walls & ceiling w/ light-color floor (minimalist color scheme), cut-pile plush carpet that shows vacuum marks and footprints like a striped lawn, vertical blinds, sliding glass door, clerestory window, dark brown framing around the clerestory window and the sliding glass door (it would be white today), lack of crown molding, lack of casing around the doors and windows, and geometric shape to architecture (there is nothing “rounded” about this room.)
This room is a great blank canvas for some of the Memphis-Milano furniture like Phil the Shill had on Miami Vice (season 2, episode 11.)

The clock in the top photo is emblematic of the “neo 50s” look that was popular during the 80s…the same ethos that made 50s-style diners popular. And who else remembers the neo-50s ice cream parlors with the checkerboard floors, Wurlitzer jukebox, half a sawed-off vintage Cadillac hanging on the wall, and mirror and neon everywhere?

1984 house for sale - 3672 NW 23rd Court, Boca Raton, Fla.
Note how the cut-pile plush carpet, which was the mainstay of the 80s, has a memory for vacuum marks and footprints. It’s like a striped lawn.
