Interior design trends can change in the blink of an eye and it can sometimes be hard to make your home stand out in a sea of similar styles. Finding design elements that adhere to your individual aesthetic, therefore, is one of the best ways to make a statement. Some homeowners choose to display their personal style through pops of color or by adorning their walls with unique works of art. If you can’t decide how to best express your style, consider combining both these elements and decorating your home with a neon sign for an artistic pop of color. This guide for how to decorate with neon signs indoors will help you shine a new light on your home’s interior.

Decorative wall art

The most common way to decorate with neon signs indoors is as decorative wall art. Because neon signs can be formed into virtually any shape, the options for artistic expression are seemingly endless. Simple shapes such as a heart, star, or moon are popular choices for neon signs and can make a great addition to a bedroom or child’s playroom. More intricate designs are also a possibility and can be crafted using various shapes, symbols, and colors.

When attempting more complex designs, try to remember that less is often more. Overloading your neon sign with shapes and colors can cause the design to appear too busy and may muddle the sign’s overall appearance. Limiting yourself to a few colors and choosing a design with adequate blank space will ensure that your design vision is accurately represented in the final product. If abstract images aren’t quite your style, you can also design a personalized neon sign for your home to display words in an appealing font. Consider displaying your family’s surname or a short inspirational quote on your neon sign.

Accent lighting

Neon signs can also be put to more practical use as accent lighting throughout your home. Neon lights can be installed around existing pieces of art to help illuminate the piece with an additional pop of color. These signs can also help shift a room’s overall atmosphere by simply adding a little light and a lot of color. Supplement your home’s interior lighting with a neon sign to add a cozier glow to the space. This accent lighting can be a great addition to a man cave, gaming room, or bedroom. You can also place neon lighting along the underside of kitchen or bathroom cabinets to add a fun splash of color.
