Unique 80s Wall Art ideas at SimplyEighties.com

Whether you want to give some bare walls in your home a touch of retro coolness, or you want to add a complete 80s theme (maybe for a party), you will find plenty of useful ideas in this post, with links to the best stores selling unique posters and prints. So where are the best places to find and buy 80s wall art?

Firstly, you should definitely check out our own 80s Movie Posters page for lots of great low cost ideas.

So now we're going to show you the best art websites, and styles you can buy include pop stars, movies, abstract, synthwave / outrun, vaporwave, memphis pattern and neon.

We highly recommend visiting Displate. The site features one of the biggest and most diverse range of 1980s themed wall art on the web. The posters are made from metal, so they're not cheap, but they have literally thousands of different, one-of-a-kind designs in stock. Prices start at around £39 for a medium sized poster.

If you're fond of synthwave and outrun art styles then you'll love the designs by Mild Worlds. You may also like the Cyberpunk artist Andy Harbeck

The most popular designs are vaporwave, synthwave and cyberpunk art styles. As I write, there are 138 pages to peruse, with 80 items on each page (that's over 27,000 designs!) which should keep you busy for a while. Here are some of our favourites...

You'll find completely unique 80s wall art designs by independent artists at Art Pal, and there are literally thousands to browse through. The range of categories is more diverse than the other sites featured on here, and includes paintings & prints, photography, digital art (which you can instantly download), drawings and illustrations, glass, textile, sculptures and pottery.

What makes this site stand out is that when you select an item, you will see all of the options that the design can be printed onto, which is very convenient, and they include framed, canvas, fine art and even mugs. The options available will vary with each different piece of art.

You can also earn from selling your own art on the site, and also receive a 5% commission by sharing your favourite artwork, which I am going to cheekily do right now...

For those of you on a tight budget (let's face it, many of us are these days), Amazon is the best option, and here you can buy packs of posters for a very decent price. The following three packs are being sold by 80s Material Girl, and you can also buy them directly from their own website if you prefer - here is their 80s posters page

The designs on Amazon are generally more mainstream than those on other sites, but you will find some good movie and pop star ideas, nonetheless. The UK store certainly featured a better range of products than the US one, though.

Amazon has a particularly good choice of 80s Movie Posters at low prices, starting at around £3.75.

A search for 80s Music Posters also brings up some good results, although you are far better off searching for individual artists such as Madness and Def Leppard.

The obvious search terms to use are "80s poster" and "80s print", depending on how large you want your wall art to be. However, while you will find many great ideas using these searches, there are hundreds of pages to get through, so you may want to narrow down your search further. Indeed, you could base your theme on a particular movie, year or pop star from the era.

Redbubble.com have, quite possibly, the biggest and most interesting range of posters and prints.

The most impressive 80s wall art (and the most expensive!) comes in the form of framed and metal prints, art prints and photographic prints. If you want to add a touch of retro class to a room, then try the following search terms;

80s Art Board Canvas Print

The small-sized prints are budget-friendly, and prices start at under £10, depending on the seller. A choice of sizes is often available.

80s Framed Prints

with a choice of frame colours and background colours.

80s Canvas Prints

Printed on a cotton/poly blend canvas for bright whites. UV protection lacquer and long life inks.

80s Photographic Prints

Superior quality silver halide prints printed on professional photo paper with fine grain pebble texture.

80s Metal Prints

These are available with a high gloss or satin finish and infused with lightweight, cleanable aluminium with gently rounded corners.

Artwork can also be bought on low-cost stickers, which come in different sizes up to 16 inches, and these are very versatile. See our 80s stickers page which links to our own designs on our Redbubble storefront.

The following search terms bring up some particularly excellent results...

Finally, Zazzle features a fantastic choice of unique 80s art posters and prints, and includes exclusive designs by Corey Tiger, who produces some very vibrant and colourful designs, as you will see below.

The site is quite similar to Redbubble, in that it features unique designs available on a wide range of formats including acrylic, wood and canvas.
