Set design from the 1980s serves as the best reminder of what the decade’s maximalist aesthetics had become. Any John Hughes movie will do the trick — take Andie’s room in Pretty In Pink, which featured a mix of vintage knick-knacks and crocheted linens, or Ferris Bueller’s Day Off with its brass beds and floral wallpaper. Now, as a backlash to the longstanding minimalist aesthetic, the ’80s has become an inspiration for the new maximalism.
