What pro tips do designers recommend for modernizing 80s homes?

Designers advise using the scullery as a party superpower by transforming the small back kitchen into a hidden workspace that supports entertaining. Maintain or highlight original curves with soft lighting and rounded furniture to celebrate the home’s bones. Unify flooring throughout main spaces for seamless flow and incorporate statement bold accents like a red bar or curved island to add confident warmth. Layer textures and lighting to avoid minimalism and keep rooms inviting and lively.
