1981: Large Kitchen Islands And Pantry
The pantries made a comeback in the 1980s. Pantries were phased out in favor of built-in cabinets from the 1950s to the 1970s. However, when kitchens became smaller, pantries resurfaced to provide much-needed storage. Designers concentrated on large kitchen islands rather than cabinetry. Sinks, trash cans, and even stoves were installed on some of these islands. The island had multiple functions, including seating and cooking space. People no longer prioritized unusual colors and patterns; functionality gained primacy, especially in enormous kitchens.

1982: Tiles And Terra Cotta
The solid laminate had vanished from many kitchens by the end of the 1970s. Tile countertops and backsplashes became fashionable, however, mirrored backsplashes were also popular for a time. Floors were also tiled or checkered to simulate the effect. Many 1980s kitchens returned to earth tones. Terra cotta floors, medium-toned woods, and grey and blue pillows helped to calm the kitchen. Throughout the decade, the style of ’80s kitchens would change a few times.
