When and Where?

Neon colours can be used sparingly as design accents, as the piping on your cushions or the frame on your family portraits. They can also be used more liberally by painting a piece of furniture in the room neon, reupholstering the sofa in a striking hue or installing a large neon piece, for instance, a chandelier.

Neon style in interior design is seen mixed with different styles of decoration. These bold hues, however, work best in modern and minimalist rooms. So, even if the tones in your home are mostly earthy, take a chance and redecorate your daughter’s room and your sitting room. A neon shade is at its best when it is one component of a multifaceted room. It is better to try bringing neon-coloured furniture to your home than to paint the walls in toxic pink!

Keep in mind that neon will create a beautiful impression only when used smartly. This means that if it is a small space you are redesigning then choose accents. If it is a large room and a statement piece of furniture, make sure the space between the furniture is generous. Rely on your instinct when using these vibrant hues. If you are still not certain, then invite a friend with good taste over for a second opinion or call a professional designer.
