48 Photos Of Things We Had In Our Homes In The 1980s You Can't Soon Forget About No Matter How Much Time Has Passed

The 1980s feel like a different century, rather than just a different decade.

Anyone who grew up in the 1980s will tell you that it felt like a different century, rather than just a different decade. Huey Lewis and the News were at the top of the charts, Members Only jackets weren’t just for parties and events, and the hair was bigger than ever before.

We all love the 1980s, which is why we enjoy looking at items that remind us of a throwback to those days. We had a lot of cool stuff back then, and it all eventually ended up in our homes.

What features of your home do you recall from the 1980s? Those silk-encrusted fuzzy electric duvets?

What about all those Tupperware bowls in green, yellow, orange, and red? Of course, we all had that massive TV set with the numeric keypad on the right side, sitting on our living room table.

Put aside Amazon Alexa and Spotify. We waste too much time deciding which song to listen to when it could have been as simple as turning on your bush radio and just doing your thing.

Life was easier in the 1980s; we didn’t have nearly as many distractions as we do now. Bush radios also made housework, crafts, cooking, and other tasks more enjoyable.

Let’s look at some other items you might have had in your home that will definitely take you back in time. Have fun and share this with your friends.

It is really fun to engage in some harmless nostalgic memories, especially when that nostalgia involves showing kids pictures of now-obsolete items that used to be part of our everyday life decades ago. It’s in sci-fi movies that we have the luxury of time machines and travel to go back in time to the 1970s and 1980s.

In real life, photos of these items in our homes in the 1980s serve as time machines. They never fail to put us in the mood for nostalgia!
