Answer

Bold design moves include installing a vivid red bar wall, adding a curved kitchen island, or using a statement pendant light to act as focal points. These singular accents read as confident and warm against a calm, unified envelope of light walls and flooring. They highlight original architecture like curves and keep the space from feeling bland. Such bold touches provide personality and modern flair while preserving classic 80s character.
