The Boldness of Neon in the Home

I work as a blogger for businesses although I do a variety of different types of writing. I particularly enjoy writing about all aspects of design and creativity.

Neon colors have impact but can be harsh on the eyes. Still, it's a popular option for home accessories and interior paint. So how do you make neon work in your space? First, select your shades of neon carefully. Second, choose the rooms where you want the lively feel of neon. Then make sure you balance the neon with black, white and neutral colors.

A lot of fun neon accessories are available for those willing to work them into their decorating. Let's take a look:

Nice post. The key is restraint. The first pic is wonderful with the gray walls and the pink. If the table was red or purple, it wouldn't work as well. The one where you ask about the rug, only works if that color appears somewhere in the rug otherwise it looks computer generated.

The lime green bathroom is great, unless you want to apply make-up.

I'm doing a second quest room with some yellow neon doors and shelves I found in the AS IS dept at Ikea. I know it sounds awful but it really is looking upscale and urban.

We mostly think of neon for kids' rooms. I think I'd use it for accessories in adult spaces.
